Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Sofitel Barcelona Skipper is appreciated for its prime location, a short walk from the beach and close to restaurants. Guests often compliment the rooms, particularly the gorgeous decor and extra features like bathroom night lights. The breakfast is marvelous, featuring a buffet with a chef preparing omelets and eggs to order; however, some have noted loud music at the rooftop pool. The fitness center is also a frequently enjoyed amenity.

The ground floor pool was unheated, so nobody used it.

There are two pools. One is on the ground floor and another one is on the roof. This one is heated. I found the location to be convenient, with the beach less than a 5-minute walk away.
