Everything clean, pleasant, well located and good food for breakfast and dinner
The hotel was okay, but it definitely does not feel like a 4-star property. The room was clean, and housekeeping did a good job cleaning every day, which I appreciated. However, the hair dryer in the room was not working. Overall, it was an acceptable stay, but expectations should be lower than a true 4-star hotel.

Quick check in EARLY.. staff pleasant and booked transfer to cruiseport clean rooms been here before and never dissappointed..
Base on my experience it was fantastic experience we had, the satisfying journey, room was very nice, very clean, and the staff were great very accommodating.
We came off our cruise and they were able to give us early access. This was great as we were able to secure our luggage and still have the day to explore the city. The staff were courteous, knowledgeable and friendly.
The room was comfortable and very well looked after – the cleaning service was excellent. The pool area was lovely, although unfortunately the jacuzzi wasn’t working during our stay. Breakfast was decent but felt a little overpriced for what was on offer

Room was nice and it was clean. Was nosiy and the staff were not the most friendly. The hot tub was not hot and did not give us face cloths.
Amazing property for a girls trip.The staff was kind and helpful. Loved at the proximity to the beach and transportation. Amazing restaurants close by and easy to access all of the things Catalonia has to offer!
Hotel Icaria is a lovely option for staying in El Poblenou. Very close to transport links, the beach and the Poblenou Rambla.
The staff were lovely & friendly and the hotel was very clean.
My early check-in was granted which was very helpful as we arrived from an early flight jet lagged with a young baby.
We got the room we wanted but no crib in sight. It was brought up shortly once we called.
In a safe neighborhood, close to the beach boardwalk. However, not close to the main attractions so definitely required taxi service to get around.
Has a cute and spacious outdoor patio with a pool.
Overall a good hotel but doesn’t come cheap.
Great host checking us in. Gave us a free upgrade for our wedding. Thank you so much - great way to kick off our wedding week in Barcelona

Everything was spotless and comfortable. Staff really friendly. Downstairs furnishings were really cool and comfortable. Very up to date. Our room wasnt so up to date. Very basic compared to the rest of the hotels appearance - could be 2 different hotels! The furniture in the bedroom was very worn. The fridge didnt really work. Not very cold at all. Shower - difficult to find a good temperature-got very hot, very quickly. Despite it being a room for 3, there were only 2 glasses and cups.
Good location for the beach and taxis outside.
Great place to stay wouldn’t hesitate booking again! Rooms are very nice and staff is great. Only thing that needs some work is there gym but pool, steam and sauna are great!
