Thinking of traveling to Barcelona and considering accommodation options? The Hotel Melia Sky Barcelona came recommended via Costco Travel in our vacation package to Spain. After staying there a few nights in September 2021, here’s a quick list of the top pros and cons for Hotel Melia Sky Barcelona, which is located in the commercial district of Poble Nou (“Pueblo Nuevo” in Castilian Spanish).
Inside view of La Pedrera
Pros
Daily breakfast
Views: pool, Sky Bar
About a 30 minute walk to Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera / Casa Mila
About a 30 minute walk to the beach
Close distance to Glories Plaza for eating and shopping
Helpful staff
Barcelona city views alongside La Pedrera
Cons
Fair distance from city center and airport (almost 40 EUR from airport to hotel)
Small rooms
Work-focused space instead of family-oriented
Fair distance from many tourist attractions (e.g. Park Guell, the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's major works, the gothic quarter, etc.)
All in all, our stay was pleasant at this property, but it would have been more convenient to stay a little closer to some of the main tourist attractions.
