I Stay In The W Barcelona - Was Dissapointed! 

At £2K a night, 90's interior and everything in the room being extra...? That's a terrible value.

My personal nightmare: expensive, dirty, no privacy, bathtub in the room. Why are hotels often so weird!

For 2 grand you should have an impeccable room and free breakfast. Love your reviews Tim! Thanks

Even if it was €200/night, the cleanliness wouldn’t cut it for a “W”. For that kind of room, the head of housekeeping should have inspected before you checked in. Love your channel. ❤

Tim, perhaps you can do one night in a standard room and then another night in a fancy expensive room so us average holiday makers can see what we would be getting if we stayed at these places.

I couldn't stay in that room it's actually disgusting. I hope you got a huge discount.

It turns my stomach when you describe the grubby furniture! Good on you for the honest reviews…

I got to say I love your practical view of things, generally speaking. No pomposity and idiocy coming from you. I appreciate that.

Tim. I live in Spain. For the bike hire, the machine is asking you for your TIE card number which is the Spanish ID card that all Spanish permanent residents have. It is similar to a National Insurance number in the UK. As for that hotel, considering it was a suite, it was very grubby and the price both for the room and for drinks and food in the restaurant were a complete rip off. In the mini bar, 5.50 euros for a packet of crisps. Come off it !

The red hotel corridors, it's like walking inside an artery. Beautiful view but the cleaners need a bit of a talk to.

Tim, I love how you inspect everything. From seeing you review the worst Brittania hotels to all the posh ones thesedays, you still stay true to the important stuff. It is all about value, regardless.

That room can be described in one word, GRUBBY !!

Omg!! That hallway would give me nightmares!! Redrum redrum!! Ya know “The Shining”!!!!

OMG! The RED like literally EVERYWHERE in hallway feels like going through HELL. LOL😮

Gosh what a carpet, ugh, I'm only just 5 ft so I'd be head banging on the hanging lights.

Watching your videos gives me a taste of the life I want to live one day, I genuinely don't think I would ever be able to see hotels like this or the one in Qatar and so many other types of hotels if it weren't for you and your videos. Keep up the great work. Thank you for liking my last two comments, and this is day 2 of commenting until we film a vlog together 💯

Iconic property that I’m sure many of us have walked, biked, or driven past! Thanks for showing us around- love your walk throughs of the popular hotels like these!

That was fabulous. I adore your honesty with the “not so nice bits”, because then I honestly believe all of the wonderful bits you share with us. Thanks, Tim (and family)! I look forward to each and every video. Long time fan and now a proud member! ❤

Hmmm, for what you paid I'd have expected the room to be absolutely spotless. A bit disappointing if I'm honest! Not really a fan of open plan suites but that's just me! Cheers for sharing Tim but I wouldn't bother!👍♥️

The floor boards by the hot tub will have hinges and the water supply is there. The hose will usually be under there too.

Omg i just couldn't cope with that carpet 😮😂 it's far too busy oh and dirty 😮. No not for me. Thank you for sharing though. 🎉

A dirty room for the price of a really nice 7 day holiday elsewhere, and no breakfast included as well….pass. Thanks as ever Tim for taking us with you

W Hotel not worth the money. Thanks for sharing ! Love your videos . It would be nice to see you in Croatia or Italy x

Hi Tim, I’m sure you already know but Warwick Castle have a new hotel for you to try out. They also have woodland lodges which are lovely to stay in. It’ll be fun to see your experience in one of them if you get time 👍

I absolutely hate baths in the bedroom for several reasons. One the steam from the bath floats about the bedroom. Two if I want a bath and who I'm with is trying to sleep that's annoying for both of us. I have to stay still not to wake them up. Three I'm not sure I want to be seen washing my bits . It's a huge no from me. So much so id not stay in any hotel with a bath in the bedroom

I truly appreciate your reviews, especially with your fabulous, witty wife and cutest of kids. Your channel allows me to choose where I’ll stay in the future. I was raised going to the best of all hotels in California, Europe and South America in the 70’s and 80’s with my parents. I can’t afford what they could and there is so much more to choose from now, so having you review hotels is entertaining and purposeful. Mostly, i live vicariously via your channel but im ready when i can afford the best. Muchas Gracias 😊

That's a no from me, expensive for a pretty grubby room, but the view was amazing❤

Undoubtedly a great place to stay, but £1,992?. A bit of taking the Arthur Bliss I think, and that's coming from a long time Marriott member.

Oh Tim I would definitely have complained about the filth and dirtiness of that room.

Never stayed at the W when I was in Barcelona, but I can definitely vouch for their washrooms that I frequently used when I visited the beach 😂😅. Pretty grungy room for that kind of money. Nice video 🎉

Perfect for Sunday morning relaxation ❤love from NJ

We have a phrase here in Scotland - "All fur coat, and no nickers". Essentially means that something, or someone, looks glamourous and classy, but lacks actual substance. It seems to sum up this hotel.

Please stay in the Broadwick Soho in Central London - would be good to see inside what a new luxury hotel looks and feels like

Thanks Tim, hope you enjoyed it,bit expensive i thought, looking forward to the next one, bye for now take care 😊xxxx

I love Barcelona. I stayed at the H10 Catalunya Plaza in 2022.

The 'infinity mirror' in the bedroom would have given me the creeps.

Hope your having a nice time

Try the Marina Badalona Hotel, just outside of Barcelona. It’s new, right of a very nice beach, with similar views but soo much cheaper than the W.

The only reviewer who is honest. So many others fake positive! Well done Tim, great again 👍

I can’t wait to see another great video, Tim! It makes our Sunday afternoons the most enjoyable!! I've never been to Spain, so it will be exciting to see all the beautiful surroundings!

I really find your travel staycation vlogs very relaxing and entertaining! Hoping you could do more of these!

Tim I was in Barcelona 5 days ago and I’m just seeing this now so devastated

Have a good trip. Enjoy your trip and stay Tim. Enjoy Barcelona.

I love this part of Barcelona, we stayed at a hotel, just down from the W and it was more towards the marina. Remember, a super yacht with a helicopter on, it had just pulled in. It was quite spectacular to watch those guys bring that in. There’s also a little park down where we were that had a festival as an American. It was really interesting to watch all this. I have visited many places in Europe, but Barcelona is one of my favorites.

The Hotel seemed really beautiful (minus the leaking AC) The rooftop bar, the restaurants, the beach & Poolside, plus being just a bike ride away from the city but that dirty rundown hotel room its self priced at nearly 2K? total deal breaker. Maybe a cheaper room at that Hotel might be worth it.

so thankful for Tim taking me places probably i'd never be able to afford,it's so beautiful in Barcelona! and pretty much all places u've been into

Thank you Tim. I so appreciate the time you spend recording these videos for us. Because of you, I see and virtually experience places I will never see in my lifetime. Thank you for this!

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

You have stayed in countless places that looked a lot nicer for less. 2k for 1 night and no breakfast is an absolute ripoff. Absolutely not worth it

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)!

I was on that very beach in May this year. Barcelona is a fabulous city. 💃Looking forward to seeing the video. ⛱️

Tim, you need yo start traveling with a black light, i'm sure after seeing the results bed bugs wont be your biggest fear

Tim. Honestly mate, i can not believe the immense quality of the videos you produce week after week... Best hotel reviews on the planet without a doubt! You must be getting offers from mainstream by now, every time i watch, & i have watched from the beginning of the channel so professional 👏 Nearly 500k subscribers & so well deserved.. All the very best, thanks for the wonderful entertainment, you've set the bar high for others to follow that's certain. Can't fault ya, well done 👍

Always a good day when Tim posts 👍

€44 For the "best steak I've ever had, in my life". I think you got a good deal with that meal Tim.

I’m coming to Barcelona in 2 days can’t wait 🍺 ☀️

The Church is beautiful!

The Hotel looked great, very different,views absolutely amazing,location fab,balcony lovely, pools and beaches fabulous too,food yummy and reasonable.However..the price a night and the tired dirty state of it let it down big style. Thanku for sharing Tim as always,bringing us these Hotels and places thst most of us, I wont be visiting. Keep em coming😎🥂☀️⛱🌊

Love your videos but me and the wife miss the budget hotels. As moneys tight we could never warrant £200-300 a night let alone 2k a night

Oh my..... 2 grand for this room? The view is stunning but a dirty carpet, worn furniture and a not working hut tub woould be a reason for me to complain and ask for another clean room. The prices for food and drinks don't shock me as one would expect that from a 5-star hotel at even higher costs. And I would get the creeps in the red hallways. Anyway, I love your videos, keep them coming 🙂

Tim, have you heard about Barcelona locals complaining that the city is attracting too many tourists and some oafs are actually throwing water on tourists eating at outdoor tables! 😮

Tim you’re amazing, I love all your videos & the way you’re criticizing the “not that good” things always makes me and my girlfriend laugh a lot. Keep going, you’re the best hotel reviewer I found so far

It's like a beautiful castle! I loved the fruity church too.

I don’t travel as much as I’d like to, but after watching your videos and seeing all the dirt and grime in the hotels, I think I’ll stay home.

I would have complained about the room not being cleaned

Thank you for your honesty!

Always find it strange that for the price of the room breakfast is not included. Like I don't need free champayne please give me the food instead.

I literally love the view but honestly am ever thankful for my own little bed and house when I see how worn stained and dirty these expensive rooms get

Beautiful hotel and location, on the coffee mugs the bottom are chipped.

Great video as always you do! I'm from Barcelona and thanks to you I have the opportunity to see this amazing hotel as if I was there. What a shame this dirty carpet and old stuff at this price! Thank you so much Tim! You do very interesting videos!

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?

The hallway had me thinking I was in The Shining.

What a waste of money! That room was so dirty I had to take a shower after watching this video 😅

I stayed they years ago and what, at the time, was very modern now just looks old. Shocked at the state of it.

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

Tim that room is filthy. Nothing GREAT at all. Glad you found tea & coffee. Tks🎶

I hope staff at the W watch your video. They could easily deep clean the carpet twice a month and "buff" up the leather etc, especially for £2k a night! Love the views though. I also thought the W might have a spa as well as pools.

Looks amazing on outside but cruddy n inside! We always stay at an abnb and our hosts are divine💯❤💯

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 was at Barcelona last year and literally walked the whole city. Very beautiful, safe, and everyone there looks good. I was also surprised the food prices were alot less than America.

Redrum lol 😊

From the W it's a 10 minute walk to the nearest subway station (Barceloneta). From there you can go anywhere you want - the subway system is excellent in Barcelona. Going to be in Barcelona in November again (conference season) and even for the event pricing the W is more expensive for one person in the cheapest room than getting a large (100+ m2), upscale apartment in a great area of the city for our group of three.

Genuine question Tim. Were you shocked!????

Indeed, the "Bicing" bicycles are thought to make it difficult almost impossible for tourists to access the service, so that it is not overcrowded... that way it is an extemely reliable service for us locals, at a very low cost and it is all an incentive for locals to bike everywhere instead of driving. The last woman major did a great job at that, also creating literally hundreds of kilometers of cycling lanes.

Anyone else think that Tim looks like a trance DJ from 2001? I imagine he really loved trance back in the day but never really moved on from it.

Best view, but at that price I wouldn't have been happy with the cleanliness 😮

Oh nice tour and footage Tim and hotel

The glass on the drink cabinet was disgusting and not a good hoover of the carpets, I definitely think the room needs updated with new furniture and proper lighting fab review of this hotel Tim 😀👍

I'd just stay on the balcony all the time. I don't need the room!

Wow what a view. I hope you asked them to vacuum the carpet again. Not a bad place at all.

I wouldn't walk barefoot on that carpeting, are any other, I work for a hotel front desk for 3 years, the deep cleaning is usually done by maintenance, a sweet like that would have two housekeepers and maybe 20 minutes to get it ready for the next people to come in.

I've been binge watching your videos and realised how dirty hotel rooms really are 😭 even the 5 star expensive ones are crazy!

Outside is nice but your not sleeping outside 😊

The chain lock on he balcony door is to keep Tom Cruises from Mission Impossible from trying to get in🤣🤣🤣🤣

I want to know who the mysterious man on the pillow is! Lol

omg!! red carpet and red walls, i was shocked :)

Daylight robbery. Would of had a better time in Rotherham today 😂😂😂

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!

Who is the random guy on the pillow 😭😭

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. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
