Honest Seventy Hotel Barcelona Review: Pros & Cons

Seventy Hotel Barcelona Features

Rooftop Pool

One of the standout features of the Seventy Hotel is its rooftop pool. The perfect place to refresh on a hot summer day. The numerous sun lounges scattered around the rooftop invite the guests to relax under the Spanish sun with a drink in hand from the pool bar.

Unfortunately, I visited in winter so I couldn’t experience the pool atmosphere myself but I could see the potential for a truly memorable summer experience.

Spa Area

At the Seventy Hotel Spa, you’ll find a serene sanctuary with a pool, steam sauna, traditional sauna, and showers.

To ensure tranquility, they limit the number of guests to a maximum of 8 at a time. However, there is a 30-minute time limit per day, which you can book at the spa reception or by phone. 

However, the trade-off for this peaceful experience is a 30-minute time limit per stay, which you’ll need to pre-book either at the spa reception or via phone.

We booked our time slot at the spa reception and received bathrobes for convenience. Changing in our hotel room, we made our way back to the spa already robed and ready to relax.

The spa was a calm oasis, although the pool temperature was a bit cooler than I would have preferred, which slightly tempered my enjoyment.

A bonus of the spa area is that all spa treatments you can buy in addition are vegan, so they only use vegan products in the spa area.

Lounge Area

Just next to the reception, you’ll find the lounge areas. The lounge area at ground level is a cozy area filled with a mix of chairs and benches. It’s a spot that truly invites you to sit down, relax, and soak in the ambiance of the hotel.

The lounge area on the first floor has a bit more of an office vibe. So, it’s the perfect place if you need to get a bit of work done while in Barcelona.

The bookshelves adorning the walls add to the snug feel of this area, creating the illusion of a private library. I noticed that the books are cut in half to reduce the depth they take up on the shelves. So, the bookshelves are truly just decorative.

Cons of Seventy Hotel in Barcelona

• Limited Vegan Options: While the hotel prides itself on its vegan spa treatments, it doesn’t extend the same consideration to its menu, lacking labeled vegan options. However, since there are so many delicious vegan restaurants near the hotel, I didn’t mind.
• Small Fitness Room: The fitness room is quite small and might not cater to guests looking for a spacious workout area. However, when I was there it was almost empty.
• Time Limit in the Spa: The 30-minute time restriction at the spa might not be enough for those looking to have a longer, more leisurely spa session. But this rule helps maintain a serene and less crowded environment.
• Seasonal Rooftop Pool: The rooftop pool isn’t open year-round, so winter visitors might miss out on this experience. On the brighter side, winter is the best chance you’ll get for a rooftop pool photo session without any other people there. Winter is also the best time to avoid the over tourism in Barcelona in summer.
