Reviews of INNSiDE Barcelona Apolo

“Mooi hotel, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Regelen met plezier iets voor je. Een heel rustig hotel, ondanks dat het aan een drukke straat ligt. Wel geen last gehad van het geluid. Fantastisch ontbijt, heel veel keuze en verzorgd. Kamers zijn ruim en van alle comfort voorzien, en vooral heel netjes en proper. Op wandelafstand van de meeste bezienswaardigheden en de ingang van de metro ligt vlak aan het hotel.”

“Servicio espectacular por el trio de Fernán, Laura e Inés que nos hicieron sentir como en casa. Amabilidad del resto de empleadas/os. Los detalles del frigorífico fueron una gozada. Gracias por la limpieza y buen gusto. Nos encanta la elección de los olores y jabones del baño. Elegir Melia siempre es un acierto. (Translated by Google) Spectacular service from the trio of Fernán, Laura, and Inés, who made us feel right at home. The rest of the staff were incredibly friendly. The thoughtful touches in the refrigerator were a delight. Thank you for the cleanliness and excellent taste. We loved the choice of scents and soaps in the bathroom. Choosing Meliá is always a great decision.”

“The hotel is very well located, close to the sea promenade and the city center. It’s just a 2-minute walk to the metro and bus stops, which makes getting around very easy. The design is cozy and modern, creating a comfortable atmosphere throughout the stay. It’s also very pet-friendly, they provided a bed, bowls, treats, and even a toy, which was a thoughtful touch and made our stay even more enjoyable.”

“Wir steigen sehr gerne in den Melia-Hotels ab und waren für fünf Nächte im Hotel. Bei einer Unstimmigkeit mit unserem Zimmer wurde uns sofort konstruktiv geholfen! Die Lage ist für alle Aktivitäten wirklich klasse und das super reichhaltige Frühstück ein toller Start in den Tag! Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr engagiert und freundlich. 🤗 Von uns eine klare Empfehlung!”

“Schönes modernes Hotel mit super Ambiente. Frühstück war ausgezeichnet. Betten waren etwas hart. Zimmer an sich sehr modern und schlicht aber funktional eingerichtet. Leider etwas laut aus dem Flur durch die Zimmertür. Dies wurde aber nach der zweiten Nacht mit einem Upgrade beglichen, das neue Zimmer war sehr leise. Leider scheint der Fußboden in allen Zimmern schlecht verlegt, daher lösen sich die einzelnen Laminatplatten und es sind große Fugen zu sehen. Barfuß laufen nur wenn man auf die Fugen achtet, sonst kann es schmerzhaft werden.”

“Hemos pasado una estancia muy agradable en INNSiDE Barcelona Apolo y solo podemos dar las gracias por la hospitalidad recibida. Destacaría especialmente la limpieza, impecable en todo momento, y la atención en recepción, siempre atentos y resolutivos. El trato del personal es sencillamente inmejorable. Mención especial para Irene, cuya profesionalidad y cercanía marcan la diferencia, sin desmerecer en absoluto al resto del equipo con el que tuvimos el placer de tratar. En conjunto, una experiencia muy positiva que refleja el nivel de calidad del grupo Meliá Hotels International. Sin duda, un lugar para repetir.”

“Habitación limpia y con mobiliario "nuevo". Tamaño de la habitación correcto. Amables en la recepción. Calidad de la restauración muy mejorable. Pedí un pescado con patatas (creo que era lo más caro de la carta) y no sabía a nada. La zona donde está se puede considerar céntrica pero es peligrosa, a 5 minutos que andes por la zona observas delincuencia e inseguridad. Por otro lado algo muy común en los últimos años en Barcelona.”

“Hotel muy bien situado en una zona de bullicio y espectáculos de Barcelona. Fuimos al teatro y después a cenar en una de las múltiples ofertas del Paralelo. La decoración del hotel es alegre y colorida, muy acorde con el estilo del barrio. La habitación, tenía vistas a la Sagrada Família (con la nueva cruz en la torre!) y al Tibidabo, muy espaciosa, limpia y silenciosa. El desayuno fenomenal, había de todo y más. Las cafeteras, situadas en los extremos, así no se formaban colas. Los zumos y tés muy buenos y variados. El bufet estaba distribuido de manera que, por un lado había lo dulce, bolleria, cereales, semillas, quesos, yogures, ets... y por el otro lo salado, también muy variado. El pan en otro espacio y la fruita en un lateral. Además, había una zona de "tortillas al momento", donde podías elegir entre muchos toppings. La iluminación era natural y las mesas estaban bien separadas, también había una terraza interior ajardinada, para los más atrevidos. El personal, tanto en la recepción, como en el restaurante, muy amable y servicial. Sin duda volveremos en nuestra próxima escapada cultural.”

“I’ve just returned from a trip to Barcelona, and I can honestly say I found a true home away from home at INNSiDE Barcelona Apolo by Melia. After spending a little over a week there, the experience truly exceeded all expectations. Starting with the location—it couldn’t be more convenient. The hotel is perfectly situated near all the lively spots that mattered to us, with easy access to buses, taxis, and a metro station literally right outside the door. As for the stay itself, the rooms are beautifully designed—clean, modern, and pleasantly minimal. What stood out were the thoughtful little details throughout the space that make you pause and appreciate the care put into creating a comfortable environment. When it comes to dining, we had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, with great attention given to different dietary needs and preferences. Dinner was equally impressive. As a group dining together daily, we were consistently pleased with both the quality and variety of the food served. However, the true highlight of our stay was the people. The staff were, without a doubt, among the friendliest I’ve ever encountered—always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. A very special thank you to the team who welcomed us on our first day. The ladies in charge went above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. They handled all our requests with care and showed incredible understanding toward the needs of our large group, especially with children and families. It truly felt like being looked after by family—if not even better. This was my fourth time in Barcelona in two years, and without a doubt, this has been my best stay yet.”

“We absolutely loved our stay at INNSiDE. The staff were fantastic, the service was excellent, and housekeeping did a wonderful job throughout our visit. The only issue we experienced was with the room temperature. It was quite warm for our comfort, and when we requested to have the A/C turned on, the maintenance staff came to our room and informed us that it wasn’t possible. That was a bit disappointing. Had to sleep with window open listening to crowd walking by all night. Housekeeping was great, but just a small note—there’s no need to replace towels every day. We’re perfectly happy to reuse them until they actually need changing. Even though we hung them up, they were replaced each time the room was serviced. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel, and will back again.”

“Excelente hotel, muito bem atendida”

“Excellent location to everything the city has to offer, subway and buses within easy reach. Staff very pleasant and courteous. Bar onsite serving some snacks also. There is a restaurant on the first floor too. Rooms are emaculate and very modern with some local juices and water free of charge in the mini fridge with tea and coffee making facilities. Beds very comfy. Would definitely go back and stay again. Very pleasant stay.”

“It’s a good hotel in a great position. Staff is friendly and room spacious and fairly clean. It’s missing some attention to details which a 4 stars shoud have, such as free slippers and Robe. Disposable slippers are charged €5 at pair which isn’t great. Also, we had to call reception and wait almost half an hour in the middle of showering as soap refilling operation was overlooked from maid and they were empty. Shame as it’s a great hotel in a great location.”

“Top”

“O hotel é muito bom. Bem localizado. Fácil acesso aos transportes. O café da manhã é lauto”

“Hotel en Avda Paralel, muy acogedor, confortable y bien ubicado. Cerca de zona de ocio así como razonablemente próximo para dar un paseo por puerto deportivo. Desayuno buffet variado”

“Todo perfecto, menos el colchón.... (Translated by Google) Everything was perfect, except for the mattress....”

“Personal super amable y detallista,habitación amplia y moderna con una cama muy cómoda y un cuarto de baño moderno y super limpio. Tuve sólo un pequeño percance con una señora al qual pregunté si podemos subir a desayunar me dijo directamente que no porque era solo para clientes. Supongo que lo dijo porque iba vestido en chándal y no daba con el perfil de clientes que teneis.Mi hija se sentio muy incomoda.Al decirle que somos clientes me dijo que si sin problemas. Podría haber dicho desdé el principio si podéis subir sin problemas estáis alojados aquí verdad. Todo lo demás roza la perfección. (Translated by Google) The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the room was spacious and modern with a very comfortable bed, and the bathroom was modern and spotless. I only had one minor issue with a woman I asked if we could go up for breakfast. She flat-out told me no because it was only for guests. I suppose she said that because I was wearing a tracksuit and didn't fit the profile of your clientele. My daughter felt very uncomfortable. When I told her we were guests, she said yes, no problem. She could have said from the beginning, "You're welcome to go up; you're staying here, right?" Everything else was near perfect.”

“Me hospedé una noche en noviembre del año pasado y la experiencia superó mis expectativas. Desde la llegada, el equipo de recepción fue muy amable y cálido. Incluso me dieron un upgrade a una habitación hermosa y enorme. desde ahí se alcanzaba a ver parte de la Sagrada Familia! En la reserva mencioné que era el cumpleaños de mi mamá y al regresar de cenar nos sorprendieron con un detalle lindísimo: chocolates, vino y cartas. Fue un gesto que realmente apreciamos mucho. El desayuno fue espectacular, de los mejores que he probado en un hotel, muchísima variedad, varias estaciones y todo delicioso. También pedí late check-out de cortesía y me lo otorgaron sin problema, lo cual se agradece muchísimo. Aunque pasó tiempo desde mi estancia, quería dejar esta reseña porque nos fuimos muy agradecidos. Sin duda volvería y definitivamente INNSiDE se alinea mucho con lo que busco cuando viajo. (Translated by Google) I stayed one night last November, and the experience exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the reception team was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even upgraded me to a beautiful, enormous room. From there, I could see part of the Sagrada Familia! When I made the reservation, I mentioned it was my mother's birthday, and when we returned from dinner, they surprised us with a lovely little gift: chocolates, wine, and cards. It was a gesture we truly appreciated. Breakfast was spectacular, one of the best I've ever had at a hotel. There was so much variety, several stations, and everything was delicious. I also requested a complimentary late check-out, which they granted without hesitation, and I was very grateful. Although some time has passed since my stay, I wanted to leave this review because we left feeling so grateful. I would definitely return, and INNSiDE definitely aligns perfectly with what I look for when I travel.”

“From making the reservation through to checking out, the customer service was outstanding. We chose this hotel for its convenient location (right by a metro station) and because of our Meliá membership, and both the hotel and its facilities fully lived up to expectations. It was my fiancé’s birthday during our stay, and the team went out of their way to surprise him with lovely compliments from the hotel, such a thoughtful gesture that genuinely made our stay feel special. The beds were extremely comfortable, the pillows had just the right level of firmness, the mini fridge was restocked daily, and the breakfast selection was very varied with great-quality food. That said, there are two points worth mentioning for improvement. The room doors are a significant issue — they slam shut unless held until fully closed. Unfortunately, this caused us to be woken up multiple times during our 4 day stay at the hotel. One night, we were disturbed at around 3am by a group of intoxicated guests repeatedly going in and out of their rooms, creating a lot of noise. I eventually had to confront them myself and call reception, which briefly made the experience feel more like student halls than a hotel. The only other minor downside was noticing hair on a few plates near the shared cutlery area at breakfast, which did put me off certain items. Despite this, I really appreciated the hotel’s work-friendly facilities such as meeting rooms and private work cubicles. If I were travelling to Barcelona for business, I would absolutely stay here again, hopefully with the door/noise issue addressed by then. A big thank you to the entire team for being consistently kind, patient, and accommodating throughout our stay. Your service truly stood out.”
