I recently stayed at the Sofitel Barcelona Skipper and had an overall wonderful experience. The hotel is exceptionally clean, with well-maintained rooms that are both spacious and nicely equipped for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic, offering easy access to the beach and local attractions. One of the highlights was the breakfast, which was absolutely amazing—so many delicious options to choose from!

The only downside was the hotel’s policy of requiring a €50 guarantee per day, and the fact that they freeze the amount for weeks after checkout. While this was a bit inconvenient, it didn’t take away from the otherwise excellent stay. I’d definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy a great time in Barcelona!

Absolutely loved staying at this Sofitel! Friendly staff and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The beds were AMAZING!!! I slept so well here it was incredible. Would recommend and when I come back to Barcelona it will be at this hotel.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel and would definitely stay again. It's a great option for a luxury experience on an affordable budget.

Pros:

- The room was new, spacious, and modern, with an excellent bathtub.
- Great shower
- The gym facilities were good
- Dyptique amenities
- The room was super clean, housekeeping team did a great job

Cons:

- There's no proper place to store luggage. The 'walk-in' closet has plenty of shelves but they are narrow and don't fit a suitcase.
- I booked a room with an ocean view, but the view was disappointing—definitely not worth the extra cost.
- Breakfast was just okay, not amazing. If it's not included in your - booking, it might not be worth paying for.

Overall, it’s a good choice for comfort and value!

I had a wonderful experience at the Sofitel Barcelona skipper! The service was exceptional, and I want to give a special thanks to Ms. Hanan, who works in the buffet. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her warm hospitality truly enhanced our dining experience. The food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming.

A favorite place for sure.  The entire team is attentive and on point.  Concierge, in particular, seems to be able to work magic!

The location is hard to beat.  Easy access to beach, restaurants and transit.  A morning run almost feels like a natural obligation!

The sunrises are spectacular.  Gym well equipped.  Breakfast buffet complemented by made to order egg dishes is one of the best anywhere.
