Alison. January, 2007

"The Hotel was fabulous. Five star in every way. The view from the suite was outstanding, over Port Olimpic and the Beach. The service is second to none and the 2 star michelin chef was worth every penny! "

Jo van I., Landsmeer, Netherlands. December, 2006

"The hotel is really unique. My room was perfect. It was a pleasure to go to the bathroom. Everything was in it. My bed was perfect. I slept on the 27th floor and I loved to sit for the window looking out over the sea and at the other side over Barcelona. The decoration you used in the hotel is really wonderful. I even made pictures of it. Your service and your really kind employees made my weekend in your hotel really great."

Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Majestic Hotel and Spa Barcelona

Elizabeth M., Coopersburg, PA . June, 2007

"When we walked into our suite we were blown away. It was beyond our expectations and even better than the picture on the website. The view of Barcelona was just as incredible and the service at the Hotel Majestic was fantastic, especially when a member in our group had her passport stolen right before we were supposed to board our cruise ship. Overall our stay at the Hotel Majestic was one of the many highlights of our eleven day stay in the Mediterranean."
