Complaints

Noise and Room Complaints at Seventy Barcelona: Which Rooms to Avoid

Critical maintenance and housekeeping failures—broken blinds that jam or fall onto guests, clogged sink drains leaving standing water, weak water pressure in sinks, non-functional AC, damaged shower fixtures, unsafe shower setups that flood bathrooms, stuck closet lights, doors without handles—room not fit for purpose despite high price. 18 reviews
Front desk staff occasionally cold, rude, unhelpful, or dismissive—inconsistent professionalism with reports of staff blaming each other, refusing early check-in despite availability visible online, providing no solution to guest distress, abrupt phone disconnections, and lack of genuine care despite €450+/night rates. 14 reviews
Serious room assignment failures—double-booking guest rooms, assigning lower-tier accessible rooms without consent or notification, not informing guests in advance, and offering inappropriate alternatives; system and communication breakdowns that violate guest privacy and create stress. 9 reviews

Rooms to avoid

Front-facing rooms on Carrer de Còrsega (unbearable 24/7 street traffic noise)
Standard Seventy rooms facing main street
6th floor rooms (hallway noise and temperature issues reported)
Duplex suites (bizarrely, some of most expensive rooms also face main street and have traffic noise)

What guests report

View

Courtyard/patio-facing rooms have no street noise and are quietest; front-facing rooms on Carrer de Còrsega have Sagrada Familia views but unbearable traffic noise 24/7; rooftop pool overlooks city and Sagrada Familia

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable, high-quality bedding, multiple pillow options (pillow menu available), plush mattresses; consistently praised across reviews

Bathroom & water

Powerful shower water pressure, hot water reliable, modern fixtures; some rooms lack shower shelf/ledge for toiletries, some drains clogged or slow, sink water pressure occasionally weak, limited privacy in open-plan bathroom sinks

Wi-Fi

Not mentioned in reviews; assumed available but no specific praise or complaints

Breakfast

High-quality, generous buffet with fresh pastries, fruits, meats, cheeses, made-to-order omelets; €19/person if not included; well-presented and worth it; only complaint: coffee stations can get crowded, limited variety one reviewer noted

AC / heating

Works well in most rooms; some reports of weak AC taking 3-4 hours to cool a room, one room had completely non-functional AC on arrival, generally reliable otherwise

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Book a Patio room (€10-20 more) instead of standard Seventy rooms—they face the internal courtyard and are virtually soundproof, unlike front-facing rooms on Carrer de Còrsega which have unbearable 24/7 traffic noise.

Request rooms on the Patio/courtyard side at check-in; avoid 6th floor and higher if you are noise-sensitive, as hallway activity and floor temperature issues have been reported.

Book gym and spa slots in advance (required reservations); gym limited to 1 hour, spa to 30 minutes, and only 4 people allowed in gym at once—go early morning for availability.
