    In Barcelona (and throughout Catalonia) there is a coastal law that prohibits building less than X metres from the coast. The W hotel was built directly on the sea! In violation of this law and everything that surrounds it, the W hotel and the area around it has become an area for the nouveau riche who want to take a photo of themselves on Instagram so they can say ‘I was there’. Not to mention that it is built in the Barceloneta neighbourhood, a very run-down neighbourhood where at night you can have your watch or phone stolen and get stabbed for free.

    The whole suite was like a 90's office and what was with the face on the cushion?! 😵‍💫

    What a beautiful layout, but the cleanliness or lack of it lets it right down.

    Hey! Greetings from Barcelona, actually you must know that these suites are mainly used or have been used for a long time just for partying so whenever anyone wants to enjoy a good suite for himself or with a partner they should not go to these rooms as crazy things happen while having 20+ people partying in a room.

    The “safety locks” on the balcony doors, is because the mgmt doesn’t want any drunken patrons “falling off” the balcony itself (remember, you’re only the 21st floor)!

      Children as well I'd imagine. The hotel doesn't want to get sued/get bad press.

    Cant believe your room/suite was not ready at 3pm & then it wasn't even cleaned properly when you finally got to your room 😮 positives were location & views from room / balcony but to honest for nearly £2000 a night you would expect at least someone to show you around the suite & explain where everything is & how it all operates!!

    I would have been asking for a deep clean of the room and be off to the bar with my complimentary wrist band . The leather at the end of the bed has probably been water damaged.

    For what you pay you should get a manager up to your room and show them the stains, dirt and unvacuumed rug?? I would that’s just bad for a nice hotel?

    No excuse for the dirty room and the lack of water in the hot tub, for that price.

    I miss the affordable, and sometimes nightmarish, UK Hotel tours.
    As such, I suggest The Mount Rooms in Barry, South Wales. I reccomend it now and until early Autumn, as we all know Wales can be rainy.
    And if you go, do a bit of prior reading on how important Barry Docks were at their peak. We also have the 2nd highest tidal pattern in the world so seeing the low tide at Whitmore Bar, Jackson Bay, the Old Harbour or the Knap pebble beaches are something quite beautiful. We also have a tiny Roman Ruin near the Knap. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Hi Tim,
    I would recommend a trip to Madeira and the Cliff Bay Hotel in Funchal.
    For the uk I’d recommend Barnsley house in the Cotswolds. You’d really enjoy both of them.

    I hope that these hotels watch your channel and take care of the deficiencies that you point out.
    Not hoovering the carpet tells me that they aren't doing a full cleaning for the next guest. That grosses me out.

    I do have a door chain like that (though with a little extra thingy on it as well) on my balcony door at home, but I do live on ground floor so for me it's a security thing so I can keep my balcony door a teeny tiny bit open now in summertime and still be (relatively) safe from anyone just walking in. I'm guessing for that suite, it may be to keep children safe if a family is staying in the suite since it's very high up, and maybe also to make it more difficult for drunks to go out on the balcony if the door isn't already open. My guess though is that it's a safety feature for families.
    I know house keeping in hotels are very under staffed and don't get enough time per room between guests, but sweet cheezus, that suite was FILTHY! The stains were kinda whatever, it didn't look nice but it's also just a sign of wear and tear and at times not possible to get rid of by cleaning, but all the hairs and other outright grime on the carpet is just no good, especially not with that price point!
    That just may have been the dirtiest hotel room I've seen!

    Florida native here 🙋‍♂️. I have been all over the world thanks to many vacations with family. When going to a beach or tropical location there is ALWAYS a funny smell at seaside resorts regardless of pricing. They always seem to be more beat up than resorts in other environments for some reason as well (walls and furniture). I have heard it is caused by the salt water and salt water in the air. I live on the water and will confirm that items corrode much faster out here
