Acevi Villarroel

Loved the spa facilities: used the hot tub, really liked the steam room, and used the sauna. The spa facilities came with a bath robe which I needed for the steam room and sauna, and came with towels for the shower afterward. The spa facilities allowed me to ease neck and back pain due to my age, and due to lots of sight-seeing in Barcelona. Really liked the location. It was close to a metro station which allowed us to travel to various spots inexpensively. Lots of places close by to eat tapas, or have a coffee and fresh sandwich on a baguette in the morning for breakfast. There are two convenience stores across the street to buy bottled water and fresh bread. We also found a grocery store near by (five blocks away from the hotel). The area felt safe to walk in, even at night. There is always someone at the front desk, even late at night.

I liked that the hotel has a backed up power source so during the power cut in spain the hotel was unaffected. The food was really nice, both breakfast and dinner. The location was quite central and close to most of the tourist attractions. The wellness facilities and the pool area were also well kept. Also the bathroom has both a shower area and a separate bathtub so you can choose which to use then the toilet and a bidet., our room was upgraded though so not sure if all the rooms had this..

We stayed at Acevi Villaroel for 9 days at the end of May 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We took the Metro directly from the Airport to the hotel. Urgell Metro station is conveniently located only a few blocks away. We arrived early, and at the end left late. Without hesitation the friendly staff offered a safe room to store our luggage until check in time. Location: We like to walk so we found the location of the hotel between two to 25 minute walk to some fantastic restaurants. 25 minute walk to La Rambla and 45 minutes to the Zoo or waterfront. Easy walk to the Hop on Hop off bus and tour meeting locations. Metro or buses were close transportation options. The Room: the room was everything we needed. Hardwood floors, spacious bathroom. The king sized bed was very comfortable and clean. The bedding crisp and white. The air conditioning worked flawlessly and kept a consistent comfortable temperature. We found the room very quiet from street noise and no noise from neighbours. The room had a mini bar, tv and kettle plus a safe which was perfect to protect your passport and valuables. The shower had great pressure and lots of hot water and a great professional hair dryer. The bathroom towels were extra large, crisp and white changed daily. Other amenities: We viewed the pool and gym but did not use it, so no comment other than they looked very nice. We read some of the negative reviews and quite frankly could not relate. Our stay was nothing but positive. We would highly recommend this hotel and felt it was good value. Everything was clean. The staff were pleasant and helpful. Location was great.

The spa was amazing, an hour a day was included. The sauna is super hot and the jet pool is lovely. My room was very comfortable and the bathroom had both a bath and a shower, it was nice to have the choice. Best of all, the staff on the front desk were so lovely and remembered my name and room number every time I had a question or wanted to book a spa slot. They were really welcoming and the service was very personal, which made me feel safer as a solo female. There were great restaurants really nearby, even the seafood place next door was super, and the location felt safe.

Staff was friendly and attentive. Room was clean and had decent space. Our queen bed was comfortable. Location was surrounded by cafes, restaurants, and bazaars, easily walkable since the city is highly pedestrianized. Easy drop off and pickup for taxis in front of the hotel. They serve breakfast downstairs. If you miss it there's a lot of choices around the corner. There's also a self-service laundrymat 2-3 blocks away. Wifi signal was strong and had a decent speed of around 50 Mbps. Room temperature could be controlled by a thermostat. A water pot was provided to make tea or coffee. The mini fridge was stock full of drinks and snacks.
