Great hotel in a great location”

I would have to say that this is one of the top 5 hotels I have stayed at in my life. Of course, I am not a big spender or anything but I've stayed at 4/5 star hotels in other countries at a simliar price range and this hotel was much better. First, its location in proximity to the beach at Barceloneta/Port Olimpic was unbeatable. Second, the staff knew it was our honeymoon and sent us a complimentary bottle of champagne with a note. It was a very nice touch. Third, the staff was very friendly and spoke English very well, which is always important for me. Fourth, the location of this hotel was very good because it was close to La Ramblas but also the Port Vuell and other attractions such as the MareMagnum mall. Last, but not least, the rooms were clean, spacious and meticulously kept. My wife seconds my opinion when we say that if we ever come back to Barcelona, it will be at the Pullman Skipper hotel. Thank you!

Great location with nice modern amenities”

the pullman turned out to be a great find. it is situated at an ideal location, next to the beach and a block away from all the hottest clubs in barcelona. it is close to all the beachfront restaurants that offers the famous catalan cuisine. the hotel is also a short taxi ride to the old part of town of la ramblas. the room is sizable and very modern. the pool on the roof, though small, offers great views of the ocean and city. the pullman skipper hotel was an ideal place for our short stay in barcelona. its comfort and location made it easy for us to thoroughly enjoy our weekend in barcelona .

Great location, high end hotel”

Pullman Skipper Hotel has everything needed for your successful stay in Barcelona. Situated close to the beach and promenade you have easy access to both the casine, clubbing and day time beach life. Shopping, sights and parks in immediate vicinity. The hotel is ideal for business or romantic couples weekends, but works ok for travelling with children as well. Rooms are well equipped and well cleaned, food and service is very good.

Perfect! Best hotel in Barcelona!! I will definitely back next summer for this amazing hotel. The price was very fairy, especially for what you get. The spa was phenomenal, the breakfast was sublime, the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff was impeccable, the rooftop pool and poolside bar service were amazing, and the rooms were amazing! I had a wonderful time dining at the restaurant (great selection of tapas). The massage was terrific and well worth the price. The staff was so incredibly helpful and assisted me with every request. They had a cab for me at the end of my trip, they brought my bags to my room when I arrived, and they gave me all the information on the city when I arrived. They were simply perfect! Definitely staying at this hotel every time I go to Barcelona.

Superb location, fantastic amenities”

Our weekend stay at Skipper was fantastic. In fact it was not that easy to ever leave the hotel - so many amenities it featured. Breakfast buffet in the terrace were absolutely fantastic with full bar included in the room price; room service was prompt, the swimming pool and surrounding area is very nice, administration is attentive, the spa needs to be booked ahead of time but worth a visit as well. 100m from the seashore, walking distance to public beaches, many restaurants, 20 minute ride to the airport. Go there is you like contemporary architecture and great service.

enjoyable stay”

We stayed two nights at Pullman Barcelona. Very friendly check in staff even thou we were early. Room was spacious and bed was comfortable. The only thing is complimentary water was only provided for the first night which I found a bit odd. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was lovely (great tapas with reasonable price).

Good hotel in a great location”

Loved the roof top pool area, views were stunning looking out over the beach and it had sun all day. Downstairs pool area also looked lovely, although we didn't try it. The room and bathroom were generously proportioned, with really nice modern decor. Wifi was good. Well located, about 7 mins from Barceloneta Metro, really close to all the bars and restaurants along the seafront and the marina. Also only about a 15 min walk from la ramblas and the old town. Staff were generally very friendly and helpful. The hotel, although very near the beach, is also on quite a big road. We were on the side of the hotel, not directly on the main road, the windows appeared to be very well sound proofed. However, I imagine the views from rooms on 3 sides of the hotel are probably not great. Aircon in the room, and the lifts themselves seemed dated vs the rest of the hotel, as neither functioned particularly well, and both were slow to respond. Easily solvable though!

Better than expected”

i had not heard of the pullman before booking. this is my 3rd trip to barcelona and my best hotel experience so far. i only stayed 1 night this time because i was connecting back from ibiza. next trip will spend all my nights here.

Very nice and lots of extras”

This was our first stay at a Pullman Hotel. I had read great reviews online so I went ahead and booked. Large rooms with a bath tub and separate shower. Everything was wonderful until we went to bed. The bed was extremely hard and when we called the front desk to see if they had a foam topper they had nothing to offer to make the bed softer. For a hotel that is this nice, the mattress was the worse ever. I will not stay at another Pullman unless that change there mattresses.

Magnificent View of Meditteranean Sea”

My stay at the hotel was good although not great - The room was clean, spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was above average What's most worthwhile for money was its location - It's just beside the beach and you could go out for the sunrise pretty easily. If the room came with a seaview, it would be a lot better! On the negative sides: I sprained my ankle before arriving at the hotel so I requested some ice from the hotel staff - but I was asked to pay 5 euros for that.... Knowing that cost a few euros, I told him that I won't need it anymore. After a while, the staff just brought me the ice with no charge. It's quite strange... Besides, I don't like hotels providing complimentary water in glass bottles as I couldn't bring it with me when I went out.

Highly Recommended!!”

my girlfriend and i stayed here for a long weekend break from the uk at the beginning of may and absolutely loved it. as soon as we arrived we were told that they had upgraded us free of charge to one of the suites on the top floor! the room was amazing, huge very comfy bed, good mini-bar, large jaccuzi tub and rain shower and even a separate phone in the toilet! (not sure who actually uses them though!) everything was very clean and well maintained. the food was absolutely superb, a very good selection every breakfast and even unlimited cava. the staff were incredibly friendly and nothing was too much trouble, even offering restuarant recommendations, printing out boarding passes etc. the location is excellent - about 15 mins walk to the centre and just a minute from the beach. there is also a good selection of bars and restaurants on the beach near the hotel. will defintely stay here again the next time we go!

Nice hotel close to beach”

Very clean spacious hotel with very comfortable rooms large bathrooms and comfy beds. Friendly staff 2 pools, large outdoor dining and bar areas and excellent breakfast with high quality teas on offer. Over priced food and drink as you'd expect at a hotel of this star. 2min walk to beach promenade and restaurants but longer walk to shops and hub of marina.Costa coffee 10min fast walk, las rambles 25min walk and large shoppng complex 15min walk

Good location but more of a business style hotel”

The hotel is well located and is perfectly comfortable. It feels though like very much a business of conference hotel. The hotel feels pretty soulless. In addition the gym is really poor and if you want to use the spa you need to pay extra on top of room. Probably wouldn't stay here again to explore Barcelona.

A nice resort that is close to the beach”

Although it is not really close to the city center, it is close to the metro and thus quite convenient for us to go around the city. The hotel room is nice and there is a wide range of choices for the breakfast. However, we could hear people talking loudly in their balcony in mid-night. The situation was improved after we have complained to the hotel staff.

Lovely hotel with great service, close to beach”

Great hotel located close to the train station and near the beach. There are a number of eateries nearby along the beach. The hotel room is of a decent size, very clean and well maintained. The pool looks awesome and would be great to swim in the summer. Breakfast had a good spread with free flow wine and champagne.

Very enjoyable”

We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona especially the hotel that provided for all our needs

We had an excellent stay at the Pullman Barcelona Skipper and would not hesitate to book there again.”

The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the harbour and some of the main the tourist attractions. For those interested in touring this beautiful city by open top bus, the hotel is located very close to a pick up point so again very convenient. Overall an excellent stay in a fantastic city.

Exceptional Everything”

I had a very comfortable stay and an enjoyable time there. There are many things to like about this hotel: great breakfast selection, pillow menu (!), fast wifi and more importantly, all the staff who were always friendly and helpful. If I am back again, I will certainly book this hotel again.

Great get away”

Overall, this hotel was clean, beautiful and modern with helpful staff located in a quieter area of town just across the street from the beach. It was nice not staying near Las Ramblas and we felt safe. We could go for a stroll along the beach or go to the nightclubs all within walking distance. The bed was perfect. Bath mitt, nail polish remover and make up remover are provided as part of toilettries which was a added bonus.

Good hotel and location”

Checking in was easy and receptionist friendly. Three of us were sharing a king-size room which was a good size and had enough room for us all, including the bathroom. The king-size bed was comfortable but I was on the pull-out which was quite hard and would benefit from having a mattress topper put on it so you don't feel quite like you are camping. Room was facing the street but quiet. Breakfast buffet had a good selection of food and tea. Roof top swimming pool water is a lovely temperature and good view of the sea. Toilet paper is cheap and should be of a higher quality. My family run a 4-star hotel in Switzerland, not being biased, it has more facilities so I do not think this rates 5-stars.
