“Beachside Barcelona polish, booking slip”
Sofitel Barcelona Skipper stands two minutes from the beach with top-tier facilities, ten-out-of-ten cleanliness, warm friendly reception, rooms sized to open two large suitcases, two well-maintained pools, a good gym and a sea-view terrace. Breakfast earns mixed notes — fresh and seasonal to some, a little limited to others. Two real complaints: one room arrived without its booked balcony and pictured bathtub, with modest toiletries; and a 6pm check-in followed a wait from 2pm with no explanation — plus a mistakenly added night went unrefunded beyond a later exit.
