Hotel Onix was a lovely stay. We arrived to the hotel early, before our scheduled check-in time, and were able to check-in early at no extra cost. It is important to note that the hotel collects a tax fee of sorts where guests are expected to pay about 2€ per guest per night, which for us totalled about 12€. Be aware of this as it did come as a shock to us.
The room was gorgeous and as pictured. There are big windows that bring in the natural light each morning. The showers run hot water nonstop all day. (We did have a slight issue with the shower’s water pressure, how to use the detachable handheld shower head and the sink’s drainage, but a call to the concierge desk fixed that for us quickly.) Housekeeping was excellent ensuring we came back to a clean room throughout our stay. While we didn’t use the air conditioner a lot, when we did, I would say you would need to keep it on for a while to begin to feel cold air which may be a inconvenience for some—it was not for us as the room’s temperature was good.
The hotel’s design and amenities were beautiful. The pool is an influencer’s dream. We were lucky to have the pool area to ourselves for like two hours where we took pictures, swam and relaxed. The architecture inside is also so lovely.
The staff at the concierge desk were amazing. There was one particular staff who was so kind to us. He would always let us into the hotel (you need to use your room key card to get into the main lobby of the hotel) and would answer all of our questions. They also provide you with tips on where to go and what to do to orient you to Barcelona. Plus, it’s located in Gothic City and it’s super duper close to La Rambla, cute restaurants, nightlife, etc.
In all, I recommend when in Barcelona to stay here. When I come back, I will definitely be staying here again.
