Poor
The location was excellent but that came with the cost (as other guest have mentioned) of loud outside noise till 2-3 am.
Upon arrival there was a light switch in the bathroom that was hanging outside the electrical box. We shared this with the staff and they sent someone up to evaluate the exposed wiring. That person took a picture of the hazard and said someone would be up to fix it first thing the next morning. Upon returning in the afternoon of that "next day" we notified the front desk that the hazard still was not fixed. This was a 3-minute fix ! When we returned later that night it still was not fixed and when I entered the bathroom after showering, I accidently bumped the hanging switch which caused it to arc. Fortunately I was not shocked with 220v of electricity. I am extremely disappointed that the hotel management thinks so little of their guest safety!! I wish they would have offered to switch rooms if they could screw the switch back in. I will have a hard time entrusting this hotel chain and the Sonder management in the future.

Loved our stay. We arrived and was welcomed by the team very helpful without baggage and couldn't do any more to receive us to the hotel. The room was brilliant with everything we needed and a lovely view out the balcony of the square. Would highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay again.

Amazing location, beautiful building and decor.
Front of house / reception staff were friendly and attentive, although they did let us down somewhat (see next section).
Sadly, lots of the basics were not delivered. This was NOT a 5 star hotel experience.
- We were allowed to check in early (great!) but then realised one of the 2 rooms wasn't the one we booked (no balcony). Raised this with reception and they acted as though the other type of room simply didn't exist, until we pressed for a solution. Turns out it had been closed from the system the day before because of Aircon problems. Apparently now fixed, we were moved into the king suite with square view and balcony.
- Turns out the Aircon still wasn't fixed so, in spite of the facilities guy trying to repair it, we just had to open the balcony door by day and tolerate the warmth at night (luckily it wasn't bad in September).
- While the above is not great, the real disappointment with this hotel is the food & beverage team. Very surly looking with no one smiling. One guy serving drinks at lunch was actually a bit of a smartass and quite rude (even though I was ordering in Spanish, not that this should matter).
- No staff are ever posted on the rooftop terrace, meaning you have to buy your own drinks in the lobby (with my wife waiting 25 mins for one simple drink because of their lack of common sense behind the bar).
- There were empty glasses everywhere on the terrace until I suggested to the bar person that she send someone up, which she then did.
- 2 customers were placing their drinks on the ledge 80 feet above people's heads, so I asked a server who had come to remove empty glasses to tell them not to do this for obvious health and safety reasons; said he'd talk to his manager, said nothing to the 2 idiots, and never came back (nor did a manager).
- Likewise, for breakfast on day 2, the server (yep, another surly one; not the guy with the wrist bandage, he was good enough) got one of our simple breakfast orders wrong twice in a row, in spite of us ordering it in Spanish.

The location was excellent for exploring Barcelona by feet, the square is beautiful and always busy. The room itself was spacious with all amenities we could ask for. I think price vs what you get was fair to best!! We didn't have breakfast so I cannot comment on it.
Sometimes the plaza beneath can be noisy, especially in after hours (2pm++) we had a room that was directly above it. It didn't bother us much, but more sensitive ears might have problem during night.

The room was gorgeous and quite large with a balcony. Below is the restaurant where we enjoyed breakfast (not included in the price).
Didn't realize while the location is very central and convenient, it's very noisy. This plaza is a party place all night long, so definitely had to use the ear plugs they provided.
Wish the breakfast had been included in the price.

Location is great! Staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Liked the room.
Very noise at night in that area. They did give us a sound machine which helped.

The reception staff was very friendly and competent.
The interior of the hotel is lovely - great decor, beautiful bedrooms.
The location is very central.
This is NOT a 5 star hotel and should not be sold as one. The hotel would be near-perfect, if it was a 3-star hotel (in regards to services).
- Breakfast: is outsourced at Bar Tomate. The bistro/bar is not part of the hotel and is understaffed and/or overwhelmed by the influx of walk-in tourists (it’s directly on the Placa Reial). You are forced to eat outside, even when it is cold. It was overall not a pleasant start to the day so we only ate there twice. Bar Tomate is their only in-house restaurant and the quality is not 5 star.
- Room Service: also outsourced. The one evening we called at 10pm to order food, we were told it would take 1.5 hours. It seems there is one place that delivers to all Sonder hotels in Barcelona. I cannot comment on the quality of the food because we did not end up ordering, due to the wait.
- Roof Terrace: It would be a lovely place to have a drink and chill, if it were serviced. We were told it would be serviced between 5 and 9 pm, but that was not the case. One has to get the drinks at the ground floor and then take the elevator to the 4th. (Side-note: If you have a drink in each hand, you can’t easily use the lift, since you need to take out your key-card). The roof top is also open to tourists, which would be fine if AT LEAST it was serviced.
I sincerely hope the hotel / the authorities reconsider labelling this place as a 5-star hotel, I find this VERY misleading.
- it wouldn't hurt to update your TVs, which are very small for no apparent reason.

The room was just lovely and spacious with a balcony overlooking the plaza. The bathroom was well equipped and comfortable. We were staying here when there was a major power outage across Spain and the hotel were extremely helpful. The staff here were great and very attentive. The noise throughout the night and early morning from the plaza was very loud but the hotel acknowledges this and provides ear plugs. It didn’t bother us too much but might others.
The breakfast atmosphere ~ a bit cold on the plaza outside
Thank you for your information!
