    Stunning city beach hotel. Upgrade to a suite as it’s well worth the extra plus the breakfast is amazing. Staff are friendly & attentive to make your stay extra special. 11/10 for this W!

    Barceloneta's W Hotel: The view from the famous Eclipse Bar on the 26th floor is something special. And as you can see from the photo, the view from outside is quite amazing too!

    On Sundays with Wet Party, the upper pool deck closes early (2pm-ish). For a day at the pool make sure you find a spot on lower deck early.

    The W has a nightclub vibe that won't be to everyone's taste, but there's no faulting the quality of food, friendliness of staff and jaw-dropping location. First five floors can be noisy at night.

    Very Nice hotel, spacious rooms, comfortable bed, nice view, amazing shower rain forest style, breakfast is good and burgers. The only thing, door toilet in the room is sort of transparent.

    Seriously good quality poolside food. Not a huge amount of options though. Great rooms, all with great views. Good vibe around the hotel. When ordering room service, take no notice of the times.

    A beacon on the Barcelona beachfront, the W edifice gazes out into the Mediterranean like an ostentatious, pot-bellied bather preparing for his first summer plunge. Read more

    The view is amazing. Priceless, really. Make sure you are above the 6th floor at least, preferably 10+ the cocktails at the lounge bar inside are incredible, barmans are very skilled !

    Their bathrooms mean you must be CLOSE to your mates if you are sharing your room, but the views are worth it - & waiting for the elevator gives you plenty of time to enjoy them

    Fantastic views - wonderful service and one of the best W-Hotels I ever stayed. Take a room with ocean view to get your individual wakeup-service by the sun...! :)

    For sun and beach this is certainly the place to be. Rooms with stunning views. Only a bit far from the city center. Certainly give the Sunday brunch a try, it’s amazing!

    Great hotel, great views (request a room on a higher floor) & great service. W Lounge is also perfect for a chilled cocktail. Spa was disappointing, quite basic in comparison to the rest of the hotel

    We stayed in this hotel during a weekend of bad weather. The stay was very pleasant. On the top floor there is the club Eclipse with good music and a spectacular view. We enjoyed a lot.

    `Wet bar` is an elegant rooftop terrace in Barcelona city with swimming pool and a bar. If the sight of sea is not enough come enjoy it from the highest point on the seaside.

    This luxurious Barcelona hotel located along the La Barceloneta has many restaurants and bars, a pampering spa, and has an architecture like no other. This is luxury accommodation at its finest.

    The restaurant is very good try the tapas and the risotto with shrimp and the lemon pie for your dessert. The restaurant is also really noisy :-(

    W hotels are cropping up all over Europe this year, but W Barcelona was the first and still the best. Located right on the sand, you can move effortlessly from beach to bar come sunset.

    The upstairs club is actually a great hybrid between a lounge & club environment. Tables are quite cheap and the crowd is fun. Mainly tourists though.

    Barcelona's answer to Dubai's Burj Al Arab, a truly beautiful hotel- inside and outside. Check out the poolside terrace, and of course Eclipse on the 26th floor.
