Vincci Maritimo

Could hear through the walls everything even though they claim the walls have been sound-proofed.

I have visited Barcelona for a congress at the CCB. The Hotel is 5 minutes walking distance away from the metro station L4 Selva del mar, and also close to the shopping centre diagonal del mar. Other than that, there is not much to see or to do. First, when arriving there I thought I lost my way. Looks more like a residential area. However, you need 10-15 min with the metro to get to Passeig del Gracia and Placa Catalunya, which is ok. The hotel is clean, the service ok, the hotel restaurant a little bit expensive. I would recommend this hotel for business travellers visiting the area only. Only a few metro stations have escalators and elevators, if you travel with a lot luggage. And at end I did not have a sea view at all, I was just looking at this ugly parking lot.

Clean modern room with 2 twins pushed together. Would have been nice to have a queen or king.

For our first trip to Barcelona, a friend and I stayed at this hotel as part of a vacation package. The rooms were nice, modern, and clean. All staff were extremely friendly and very helpful with any and all questions. The metro and the tram are about a 2 minute walk around the corner, offering access to all points of interest in Barcelona. If it's your thing, a huge shopping mall is about a 5 minute walk up the street. It has an extensive Food Court of sit down restaurants if you want to eat something close by the hotel. If your looking for a quieter place, just outside the hustle and bustle of La Rambla, this is a wise choice. The hotel looks new, as of December 2009, and is clean and full of friendly staff.

Convenient location, very near Metro (Subway); Able to get to most Barcelona sites by subway; quiet, neighborhood location; clean; friendly service

Close to the beach and the Metro. The desk clerks spoke English pretty well. Clean, safe, convenient.

On the whole it is a good, quiet hotel, although I would have prefered if there was a pool (although the beach is relatively near) and maybe some sort of inhouse entertianment. Rather short staffed with regard to kitchen and bar staff. Otherwise a hotel to be recommended.

I didn`t like the bed, which supposed to be a double, but the put together 2 singels, not the best for a couple. The bathroom needed to be clean, especially the floor around the toilet and in the corners. I liked the style of the rooms, the decoration and welcome kit, a good location and the price. I think, it was ok to stay there for 2 nights, for a longer stay I would recommend another hotel.

I stayed a week at this hotel and the stay was great. The staff was very friendly and, when I had a question, very helpful. It is located a block from the Metro, Trans, and bus stops. Also, a 5 min walk from a very cool shopping center. The hotel is a 15-20 Metro ride away from Plaza Catalunya which, for me was perfect since it was not in the middle of the packed tourist areas, but close enough to get there easily. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that is looking to visit Barcelona. One small tiny thing: the food offered at the hotel's cafeteria is limited (and pricy). This was not really a problem for me since I spent my days sightseeing and so ate out a lot.

I stayed at Vincci Maritimo 4 nights during a conference at the nearby Forum oom was spacConvention Center (10 minute walk). The Selva de Mar Metro station was just around the corner (3 minute walk). The room was spacious, clean, and had plenty of electrical outlets to charge all those devices we carry around these days. There was a mammoth round horizontally-oriented shower head that delivered a fantastic (but not so eco-friendly) "rainforest deluge" shower each day - amazing! The front desk suggested three terrific restaurants and called ahead for reservations. Downsides? Breakfast was not included (which I didn't mind with the reasonable room rate), internet was 15 Euros for 24 hours, and there was no exercise facility (although there was a pool, and so many great city sites accessible by Metro and on foot - it wasn't a big deal). I would stay here again in a heart beat.
