Radisson Blu 1882 Hotel, Barcelona Sagrada Familia

Location, clean

I arrived earlier than standard check-in time, but was offered a room upon arrival. It was rather dark and had one corner window, but when I asked for a brighter room was offered another one on the spot. The room had all the necessities, was quiet and clean. I enjoyed my stay. The location was good, and there were always taxis in front of the hotel if you need to get anywhere farther.

The hotel’s condition and interior, cleanliness, security, service, minibar amenities, and essential supplies, as well as the friendliness of the reception staff, a great lobby, and a safe neighborhood!

The staff were just incredible, Jesus from reception was so kind and welcoming, as were all the breakfast staff and even the security guards! We stayed for 6 nights, so we saw them everyday and each day they were so kind. In a city that is a bit over touristed at the moment, you don't always feel so welcome at some places, but we felt genuinely welcome at the Radisson. We also enjoyed the Sagrada location. We didn't want to be in the center of the madness near Plaza Catalunya or surrounding areas, so this location really suited our need for respite from the busy city. You really have everything you need in the neighborhood and it was great to come back to the peacefulness of the hotel each evening.

Our two-day visit to Barcelona was nothing short of spectacular! One of the highlights was attending Easter Sunday Mass inside the breathtaking Sagrada Familia Cathedral, conveniently located just a minute’s walk from the Radisson Blu. The hotel truly exceeded our expectations—we arrived an hour before the official check-in time, yet the staff graciously accommodated us without hesitation. During our stay, I booked two rooms, both of which were comfortable and well-appointed. The staff were warm and welcoming, and I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches, like the plush bathrobes and slippers, along with the generous supply of bottled water each day. It was an experience that made our trip even more special!
