Moxy Barcelona

“Great location!”

I am a huge Moxy fan. I love that I know exactly what to expect from the hotel - the rooms all have the same aesthetic.

I am a huge Moxy fan. I love that I know exactly what to expect from the hotel - the rooms all have the same aesthetic. I’m not a person that unpacks in hotel rooms, so I don’t need drawers or a closet. At most, I need a handful of hangers so that I can put up clothes that will wrinkle. I barely iron when on vacation and I never make coffee in the room. All this to say, if you’re also like me, and you’re looking for a clean room with a solid bed, then the Moxy is perfect for you. Often times, when people write bad reviews for the Moxy, it’s because they didn’t do their research and are upset about the minimalist nature of the rooms. But anyways, this Moxy is fairly newly opened. I had been keeping an eye out for the opening and actually booked the room in September when they opened for bookings. This Moxy is very excellently located. It’s a short 5 minute walk from the major station, Barcelona Sants and also 5 minutes away from the Tarragona station. With these two stations, you’ve got access to the metro lines L3 and L5. The hotel is also right next door to a supermarket as well as 2-3 minutes away from several smaller markets that are open later. We checked in around 10am and our room was not ready, so we left our bags and went out to start exploring. We headed back to the hotel around 2pm and we were able to get into our room. The room was larger than I was expecting and had plenty of space for us to spread out. The shower pressure could be better, but it was very sufficient. You do need your keycard to operate the elevators to any floors besides the 3rd floor, where the lobby is, so we felt very safe. Some nights, when we returned later, we even saw a security guard on the ground floor. All in all, I very much enjoyed my stay at the Moxy and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

“Great location for travelers”

Don't get a room on the 4th floor. The music from the bar and lobby areas does not allow you to sleep. I called every night from my room to the front lobby to ask them to turn off or turn down the music. It's not so much the sound but the base that you feel when you try to go to sleep.

Don't get a room on the 4th floor. The music from the bar and lobby areas does not allow you to sleep. I called every night from my room to the front lobby to ask them to turn off or turn down the music. It's not so much the sound but the base that you feel when you try to go to sleep. Other than the music, our hotel stay was great. There's an elevator on site, a modest gym, lounge and bar areas, and market area for snacks and drinks. In the room, you have a bed, minimal storage for clothing and accessories, TV, desk area and a couple of chairs. The hotel is in a great location if you plan on using public transportation. It's about 2 blocks from Barcelona-Saints, which includes the Renfe and Metro lines. It made it very convenient for us to get to and from the airport as well as into the city for sightseeing.
