Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Sofitel Barcelona Skipper is known for its modern and spacious rooms, some featuring balconies with views of the pool and sea, which many guests find worthwhile to upgrade to. The buffet breakfast is often praised for its plentiful variety, including local specialties and omelets made to order. Some guests have occasionally experienced slower service, particularly at the rooftop bar; however, the rooftop also offers a beautiful view of the sea, enhancing the dining experience. Conveniently located near the beach, it's a short walk along the promenade to the city center and close to the Olimpic metro stop, making attractions like Sagrada Familia easily accessible.

A solid stay near the Sea

convenient location friendly staff damp smell hard towels
The location is really convenient. It's just a short walk to the beach. My room was spacious and clean, it included toiletries like shower gel and lotion. The rooftop terrace has a heated pool that I could use. The staff members were friendly and polite, especially at the reception.
I found some aspects disappointing for a hotel of this level. There was a noticeable damp smell in my first room. I was moved, but the smell was still present. It just wasn't as strong. The towels in the bathroom were not soft. They were actually hard.

the room had a balcony with a sea view. it included a nice mini bar stocked with snacks. the rooftop bar offered great cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. i especially loved the food at tendiez (the burger was superb!).
the pool was quite deep. it started at 2 meters and went up to 2 meters. this depth made it unsuitable for younger children, which could be a limitation for families.
