The Mett was a beautiful hotel that offered tranquility from the busy city of Barcelona below (the hotel is perched on the mountain side above the city offering views of the Mediterranean and city). However it was the professionalism, courtesy and the efforts of the staff that made it a truly exceptional stay. The front desk were beyond helpful by arranging tours, reservations and car services at a moments whim. Giselle was especially impressive with her willingness to get things right for the hotel guests. Choose this hotel if you want to venture into the city on your own time and would prefer instead the peace of hiking trails, a lavender planted poolyard and an outstanding locker room amenity offering both a steam room and sauna.
To venture into Barcelona for city adventures be mindful that it is a 20-30 min cab ride that costs around 30$ per ride

Room, staff and spa were excellent (Marianno is the best) if could change one thing, One negative thing is the location is far from town 20-30 minutes and although there is a free shuttle, the departure time is 11 am and return time is 3:30 pm, not sure why this couldn't be stretched say from 9 am to 7 pm. That said, the views are amazing. This resort is more for people wanting to do a weekend get away rather than someone looking to explore Barcelona. Also, i would recommend checking with the hotel to see if they have special events happening during your stay. Our first night we we limited to the bar area because the resturant had been rented out, and our last night certain areas on the deck area were closed to guests because they had rented that out? Felt like there should have been a discount. Overall, a beautiful facility with great staff, but make sure you are ready to stay at the resort and eat their food from the two resturants they have (maybe if not rented out)

Excellent service, great views , food was really good as well.

My only issue is the room type we booked did not match the picture that is on the Expedia. The front desk staff handled best he could. Management should’ve taken it more seriously though as it’s false advertising on Expedia. A discount or food credit would’ve gone a long way. I would stay here again however you do need to address the picture on Expedia for my room type it is extremely misleading.

Restaurant is good but portions are small and prices are high. We took a taxi to the center of Barcelona one day and it was 35 euros one way. It can also take a while to get a taxi so be sure to call early. Would définitely recommend if you have a car and are not looking to go into Barcelona every single day of your trip.

Upon our very late arrival we were greeted with a glass of champagne, kids were hungry and didn’t hesitate to prepare something for them without asking. This historical hotel is amazing if you want to stay away from the city busy life.
Rooms are awesome with excellent view of Barcelona as it’s right next door to Tibidabo you get Barcelona’s view from anywhere you go in the hotel. Staff is superb, food was great, room service was excellent. Pool was great, kids loved it.
Keep in mind you will have to pay about 15-25 euros each way depending of where you are going when you want to go to the city. For us it was worth the taxi hassle, if you have a car then you are worry free.
Definitely recommend this hotel.

Our stay was pleasant and we enjoyed it. The hotel is well maintained, modernised and clean. Staff are helpful and friendly and attentive. Our suite was nice, spacious and very clean. The overall experience was very good. The hotel located on an hill on the outskirt of Barcelona with nice views, but the only issue with its location is the transport. If you are not driving, cycling or not prepared to spend around 30 Euros each way, then you will have to wait and use the bus, train and the tram to get to Barcelona.

The hotel has a nice concept, but it wasnt executed properly. When i stay at a resort i like to make the resort my vacation. The restuarant food was horrible, the accommodation to and from the city are inconvenient. They have a shuttle bus that takes you to and from the city that you have to book a week in advance because it is always full. Our only other option was to wait forna city bus and then transfer to the subway everyday, thus took about 45 min everyday or catching a cab that is $25 to the city and $25 back. Then you are compelled to stay out all day in fear of going back to the room and not being hungry, because the food ia so terrible. I read the horrific reviews and still i booked it because i lived the views (which are just ok). Do not regret it like i did. Pay extra money to stay in the city it will save you money or you will break even..

Beautiful hotel with a spectacular view of the city. The staff were very hospitable and friendly.
The restaurant was nice, but the food was a bit more expensive than we anticipated, although that's not to say it wasn't of high quality.
Our only legitimate complaint is that our room was quite warm, and despite our best attempts at manipulating the thermostat, it remained so for both nights of our stay.
Due to the distance of the hotel from the city and any metro or bus lines, your only real option for getting into Barcelona is to take a taxi (if you have not rented your own vehicle), so just be prepared for that as a necessary expenditure.
Overall, a very nice hotel. In our opinion, the views alone were worth the length of the trip.

The hotel has a spectacular view, and is situated so that you can see all of Barcelona. However, everything else is is very inconvenient. They have only two shuttle services going to the city at 11am but doesn't go quite to the heart of the city. We ended up taking a taxi from there. Their return shuttle is at 6:45pm so if you want to return, a taxi fare will cost you between 30-35 euros. If they had more frequent shuttle times it would've been more convenient. I've stayed at other 5* hotels before and have had exceptional service; however, this hotel although nice lacks the quality service that should be offered. We stayed at three different hotels over a nine day trip, and felt this particular hotel had poor reception service. A better customer reception would improve the quality of this hotel.

Wonderful Stay

The hotel and the room were amazing.

We booked a city/sea-facing terrace suite and it definitely lived up to its name. Incredibly spacious with a fantastic view from the terrace (which included private loungers and a small dining table and chairs, which were great for breakfast).

We had a minor issue with check-out, when we booked online we were notified that a complimentary late check-out had been applied until 2pm, then on the day of check-out we received a call advising we needed to check-out for midday. In addition to this, the electricity cut-out in the room twice during our stay and it took over an hour to get this rectified - In the end we established that one particular plug socket was faulty and in need to replacing.

Besides this, the room was amazing and we would undoubtedly recommend and visit this hotel again, as it is secluded and quiet, within easy access to Barcelona City, has great facilities such as the Barcelonas Restaurant and the hot-tub/sauna/pool were amazing too.

If you fancy having a touch of luxury, do not want to be right in the City centre and want some quality downtime then we strongly recommend this hotel - The staff bend over backwards to help as best as they can.

We arrived late c.11pm, which meant we weren't shown where our room was, which meant we were wondering around for a bit on arrival!
Also, on the first morning i didn't want breakfast but my boyfriend did. As we hadn't paid for breakfast upfront, the staff on the breakfast front desk were very funny about me sitting with him, they wanted me to sit in a separate room whilst he ate breakfast. Also, why is the orange juice not freely available at breakfast time? You have to wait for it to be served.

It’s a beautiful, elegant hotel. The views are amazing. However for a luxury property I found it disappointing. The breakfast buffet had no hot cereals or muesli and nothing like pancakes or waffles. There was supposed to be an airport shuttle but we had to take a taxi. The shuttle to town ran 3 times a day and only had room for 6 people.

Beautiful Views and Excellent customer service

Overall a beautiful hotel with stunning views.
There is nothing within the local vicinity so you have to get a taxi everywhere which could be costly. Or ideally make the most of the free shuttle (we didn’t get to use it in the end).

The rooms were nearly perfect, but it was the missing bulbs to table lamp and blow spot light in shower which made me not give it a 5.

The staff were very very friendly and polite and literally had everything we requested i.e toothpaste, iPhone charger, iron and a nice birthday surprise for the husband upon arrival.

The facilities were also lovely and clean. Would love to go back when it is warm to make full use of the pool area.

There was a Taxi strick going on when we arrived at the hotel. The strike had been enforce for 5 days. Expedia not the hotel have us warning that there would be little opportunity to leave the hotel property because transport ant was limited. Everyone agreed that this was a major impact on our vacation. When I asked to be relocated to another hotel in center city, I was tiled that I would not receive a refund for the hotel at La Florida that I had already paid $800 for. We ended up spending another $900 getting a hotel in the city, just so that we pups be able tour the city.

Spectacular views of the city, great hotel!

We stayed here for 4 nights, the staff and location are exceptional. The hotel facilites are very good as was the restaurant (albeit a bit pricey).

We were not advised of the shuttle service upon arrival and as others have mentioned, it does get booked up very quickly. The hotel is around 20-25 euros on taxi into the city (half that amount if you want to get to the nearest metro station and jump on a train). Taxi to / from Barcelona airport is between 35-40 euros.

I would've preferred a slightly warmer pool but the kids enjoyed their time there and the staff were very attentative.

Good hotel, spa not great

Stunning, gorgeous, breathtaking location. Need to rent a car if visiting otherwise taxis and buses not really practical.
Stayed here a few times and service, staff etc are fab.
Had an awkward morning at breakfast where it ended at 1030, not 11am as advertised in the guest booklet. I arrived at 1029 and was told ‘no, finished’ by a really dismissive, obnoxious and dreadful female member of staff. She wouldn’t let me in as breakfast finished. Also told me off for not having breakfast included in my room rate. I had planned to pay. Asked to speak to manager and restaurant manager was really helpful, serving breakfast for me in the lounge. Thank you.
The rooms are brilliantly maintained and service is discreet. I never heard a sound from the team even though I spend a lot of time in the room as the weather was bad.
The spa is advertised as a highlight. Essentially there are two parts to the spa. The treatment area is totally separate from the hot tub etc. The hot tub serves as a paddling, jumping, screaming, playing, hogging area for kids for most of the morning and late afternoon. Tranquil is not a descriptor. The swimming pool is great but too cold for the kids hence they hang out in the hot tub. Their parents need to learn some manners and not allow kids to play here for hours while others wait patiently. However there is little else for the kids to do, or so it seems. There used to be a steam room but this is boarded up and not operational. Overall a great place tho.

A true \"Grand Hotel\"...

Our family had a superb stay in the Gran Hotel La Florida. First impressions were, for our children, literally jaw-dropping. The hotel is beautiful, with a very fetching mix of its original art nouveau style with some modern features, such as the long and enticing swimming pool.

The staff were warm and welcoming when we arrived, and friendly, helpful and thoughtful through out our stay, as well as kind and patient with our two children. We ate a few times in the restaurant of an evening, and several times at breakfast, and the food was always delicious, fresh, and again served by kind, helpful staff. The location, up on the hill looking over the whole city, boasts stunning views seemingly whichever window you look out of, and it is just far enough from the centre to feel you are \"getting away from it all\" when you return after a day's sight-seeing.

I very much hope to return. It is one of those places that makes you want not to leave a review, so you can keep it as your \"own little secret\". That would be very unfair to all the staff at the hotel, though, who without exception were excellent and made our stay the wonderful holiday that it was. In a long list of strong points, they are La Florida's greatest strength!

Many thanks for a lovely Barcelona experience.

Best views of the city

The hotel was great, take full advantage by booking a room with a terrace. Only downside was the quality of the food.

Five Stars

From the moment we arrived we were in awe. The location is secluded and beautiful, the staff was welcoming and pleasant. The food and atmosphere was amazing. Overall it was a perfect stay for the last three nights of our vacation and if we ever make it back to Barcelona, this would be the only place we stay.

Excellent stay at Gran La Florida hotel

As part of my Birthday celebrations, I decided to stay at Gran la Florida hotel for a SPA treatment birthday treat. I was greeted by professional and very welcoming staff and was offered a glass of champagne whilst checking in.
The hotel has an Old Rustic feel to it with charm, together with a beautifully modern L'occitane SPA treatment rooms/areas, plus has a small ladies boutique shop and l'occitane shop, truely lovely if you like this branded products, which i do, near the reception area. Complimentary marshmallows and sweetie in foyer too.
My room was spacious (large bathroom too) and on the 5th floor facing the beautiful Cathedral and had side views over the hotel gardens and over Barcelona.
I dined in the Cafe 125 restaurant as the main restaurant closing down in January, Candlelit tables, floor to ceiling glass doors overlooking Barcelona and fairy lights in the gardens. The food and champagne was lovely, the staff were just fantantic/amazing, professional and friendly and sincere. I was given a lovely complimentary Birthday dessert surprise and champagne, very special experience. Also earlier on returning to my room after my spa treatments, tthere was a silver tray with chocolate strawberries. A very lovely hotel for relaxing, swimming and eating good food. Thank you everyone, hope to see you soon.

A bit to far from the city center. Would maybe need some refurbish. Crazy expensive in the restaurant and bar.

Misleading room photos, tired and needs refurb

We were rather excited about this place - the views are indeed astounding but the hotel is not up to scratch. Slow staff, mediocre ludicrously expensive food and drinks, misleading room photos (the mountain view with terrace was actually a view of the car park - fortunately after complaining the moved us to a 4th floor city view which was better), tired and damaged rooms. If, like us, you looked at this place and thought it would be “wow” - please rethink your trip and stay elsewhere. A very disappointing and ultimately expensive weekend with nowhere nearby to eat but the hotel.

Lovely hotel, with pool and great views

This was my second stay at the hotel. I got upgraded on the family room I had booked to one of the towers but with a 1 year old amongst my family I had to decline it as it was on 2 levels with open staircase, the room we ended up with wasn't so nice and no balcony which was disappointing. Food lovely, service a bit slow but staff are very friendly.

Feel like a celebrity on your vacation

Can't say enough good things about this hotel. We were greeted warmly upon our 8am arrival, even though our room wasn't available until 3pm. The staff took care of our bags, brought us coffee and got us set up outside by the beautiful infinity pool and view of Barcelona that cannot be beat. The staff brings you a little button to puch by your lounge to call for service. Our room #402 was a corner room, two balconies, one overlooking the city the other looking at Tibidabo. The sounds of the amusement park at night were very romantic. As far as transport to town...the shuttle can fill up but we only used it once anyway. The Tibidabo bus runs every 20 minutes while park is open (and its open a lot). It was maybe 2 euro each way, you can pay the driver, and drops you at Catalunya Plaza- easy to taxi to dinner or other attractions. If you miss the bus, Taxi as about 25 euro. Also- the L'Occitaine spa and massage, I highly recommend.

5 star hotel

Prosecco on arrival was a nice touch. Spa facilities were nice too. Very friendly and helpful staff on reception. Took the Free Shuttle bus every morning which was nice and new. The morning driver was very friendly and professional. Amazing hotel thank you for making our stay in Barcelona so memorable. Would stay again!
