- Did not povide the service of ordering train tickets through internet.
- Not enough persons in the staff to handle the breakfast.
+ Overall very helpful, service minded and kind staff.
+ A very good breakfast with spanish ingredients.
+ The hotel is very well situated. Restaurant in all price classes in walking distance. Close to a nice beach. Five minutes walk to the subway station.
Which means max 15 minutes to reach barric gotic.
A bust station just outside the hotel. Read Less |

My wife and I were just arrived in front of the hotel at day one of our honey moon trip to Barcelona and my wife's hand bag was stolen by a thief with a scooter. The hotel personell very amazingly helpful in that situation. They gave us a business suite instead of a normal room and even took us to the police station after they got out of work. I mean outside their working hours! In police station they were priceless help in translating since the local police speak nothing but spanish.
The hotel was in very good in other ways too. The breakfast was substantial and the room was well air conditioned. If you like shopping the location could be better but on the other hand it is quite near the beach.
If I went to Barcelona another time, I would stay in this hotel again. Read Less |

We stayed here for 4 days in July with our 8 year old. The hotel was perfect, it was not in the centre but the public transport was excellent. We could walk to the beach and found some nice cafes close to the hotel. The rooms were large and spacious. The pool was lovely and the bar and terrace area was one of the nicest I have seen in any hotel. I would definately recommend this hotel if you are going to barcelona. Read Less |

Excellent hotel with one small exception. The air conditioning refused to cool the room below 26C. many guests complained of this and it seemed random rooms suffered the problem while others didn't. We asked for it to be fixed for three days, were told of technicians that would arrive etc, but nothing was done about it. Read Less |

Having taking the decision to base my wedding party in the Hotel Icaria and availing of 20-30 rooms, the concensus was that the hotel was superb. Very modern, ideally located to the beach/marina. The staff were friendly, the facilities good and the rooms adequately spacious. Pool area is relatively small but nice and pool bar/restaurant is comfortable.
Two comments/suggestions I would make is that we found the service in the pool bar/restaurant very slow and that alcohol drinks in the hotel very expensive.
But in saying that it, all guests thoroughly enjoyed their stay in the Hotel Icaria and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the hotel for making my wedding that little more special. Till next time. Ian,Dublin. Read Less |

Really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona last week. The hotel is very modern and clean. Rooms and leisure/pool area is fairly small but expected really for a city centre hotel. Just a few minutes walk to barcelona beach. The only negative really I would like to point out is the cost of food and drink from the pool side snack bar. ?7 for bottle of Corona beer and lunch for two with soft drinks was ?55. Would have expected to pay a less in Spain. Massage was great. Read Less |

We had initial problems with our room, which were resolved pretty much straight away. Breakfast was great, offered a variety of pasteries, cereals, cooked breakfast etc.
The metro was only 10 mins walk so wasnt much of a problem in terms of location. Took about 25 mins from the airport and about 26- 32 euros, depending on taxi driver really! Overall, a nice hotel Read Less |

The sauna and steam room were not in operation - which was one of the reasons why I booked at this hotel.
The Hotel advertised 'room service' 24 hours - this was certainly not the case, despite a good room service menu, and regardless of what we ordered, all we received were ham and cheese sandwiches, that were definitely not fresh, and we still had to pay for them, even though we didn't order them! I think these sandwiches gave me food poisoning - though i couldn't eat them all anyway.
Staff in the main not helpful when we enquired about directions to the beach area or somewhere to eat late when we arrived from the airport - unapproachable, and I was with someone that could speak spanish.
Breakfast buffet not fresh everyday - they put out the same ham and cheeses from the previous day - therfore unedible.
Though initial impression of the hotel good (foyer), rooms were incredibly small - definitely not worth the money, plus the shower was not always hot.
The location was good, but i would definitely NOT reccomend this hotel to anyone. Read Less |

hotel is very nice and modern, thought the walls could do with being a bit thicker- you could hear EVERYTHING from the room next door! and I MEAN EVERYTHING!!!!
reception staff were excellent and went out of their way to help.
one major gripe- breakfast- the HOT buffet was completely cold on the first morning- eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans ALL stone cold.
a complaint to the resteraunt manager meant things improved SLIGHTLY the next day, but for three full mornings we were there the beans were always COLD and not only that0 it was apparent that it was the same dish of beans that was trawled out each day- not very good food hygeing practice!
having said that- the buffet was otherwise plentiful and we didnt go hungry!
would stay again due to the fab location close to Barcalonetta beach area, nice . clean, and felt very safe to walk arouind even late at night! Read Less |

Hotel staff were extremely helpful, and the pool/chill out area excellent. Good sized rooms and large and varied breakfast. Good proximity to the beach, 10 minute walk to the metro. Tourist bus passes outside the hotel. Easy parking and easy drive to the airport (about 25 minutes) Main drawback could be nearby building work, but this wasn't a problem on a weekend stay. Well recommended - we'd use this hotel again. Read Less |

We were really pleased that it was so easy to get to the beach (5 min walk) and the city centre (10 min bus ride from right outside the hotel), and to pick up the city tour bus just around the corner. There is building work going on adjacent to the hotel, but we did not notice any noise. It might be worth asking for a room facing the front of the building, if work is continuing. No problem leaving our luggage in the storeroom until our evening flight - our experience of the staff was friendly and helpful. More attractive on the inside than on the outside, set in a quiet area, with a lovely comfortable terrace area to relax in, we and our teenage children would happily return to Icaria again.

We have just returned from 4 nights at the Icaria and had a wonderful holiday. The hotel was excellent and we found the staff very friendly and helpful. There was always someone on reception who spoke good english.The rooms were very quiet, spacious, clean and comfortable.The only negative was our six year old daughter burnt her arm on one of the halogen lights by the bedside trying to switch the light off. Our children loved the swimming pool and the terrace area was great to sit and enjoy Sangria in the evening.The hotel was in a quiet and safe location but only a five minute walk to Icaria beach and Port Olympic. The Bus Touristic stop was a few minutes away and an excellent way to explore Barcelona. We would love to visit Barcelona again and would definitely stay at this hotel again. Read Less |

lovely hotel though we had to wait several hours as rooms were not ready. waitress service was terrible- on every occasion we either got the wrong order, or no order at all. surroundings look very pretty. however i would strongly advise that no girls walk around this area in small groups on a night as my daughter and i were attacked by three men about 300 metres from the hotel, during which time i was strangled to unconsciousness and had my bag stolen. we are now left with terrible memories of this holiday Read Less |

This hotel was the best we've ever stayed in. The room was immaculate, linens and towels changed daily and toiletries refreshed. The Jacuzzi in the middle of the mirrored bedroom was a luxurious touch. Massive breakfast, loads of space in the room, walk-in wardrobe, shower, toilet, the jacuzzi, lcd tv. The only complaint I would have is that the night staff were quite grumpy (maybe not enough sleep). They could do with making more of an effort. Situated just five minutes walk from the beach and directly across from the stop for the tour buses, it suited our needs perfectly. 9.9/10 Read Less |
