Never having visited Barcelona before, we were not sure how a B&B in an apartment building would work. It was fantastic! Our room, Maremagnum, had a terrific view of the waterfront. Our host Jose was most accommodating in every way. We were steps from the tourist busses, Las Ramblas, lots of delicious restaurants. Hubby appreciated free wi-fi, free breakfasts and... more

We stayed at Marina View back at the end of October and had a wonderful time, we could not ask for better. Jose Maria is an absolutely wonderful host and was there to greet us despite arriving at 11 p.m at night of the train. The accomodation is spotless and in a perfect central location. We loved the views from... more

We stayed there a total of 3 times on this trip! We flew in and out of Barcelona and always looked forward to Jose Maria's shining face, his complete professionalism and then some! The B&B smelled SO fresh and inviting!! He was More than accommodating when we asked if we could store luggage while we whisked off to France and... more

My wife, daughter and I stayed there for three nights at the end of November. Besides having a wonderful time in the city itself, I have to say that this B&B is perhaps the best we've ever stayed at. The rooms were clean and well kept, the location is fabulous, right across from the Harbor (as you could tell from... more

Having read all the rave reviews about Jose, the innkeeper at Marina View, I had begun to think he must be writing them himself because they are all so similar - saying how welcoming, helpful, friendly, and unobtrusive he is. Now, having spent three nights at Marina View, I can report that they are all true - he really is... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here in mid October for 4 days. Right from the beginning the experience was very good; the website was well organized and informative, emails sent were promptly replied to and our arrival plans were double-checked a few days before the trip. When we arrived we were promptly met by Mr. Jose Maria who offered help... more

We stayed at MarinaVew BCN 3 nights early November 2008. Well situated (down the Rambla) and front of the Port, close to metro. Warm welcome from Jose who is really friendly. Room (Arcade) and bathroom were clean, small (but sufficient enough for 2), well equiped (fridge, safebox, wifi available, ...). Breakfast brought daily in the room. A nice place to... more

We also stayed at the Marina View for 4 nights the last week of October. Everything you read here is true so I will not repeat it all again. There is a reason this B+B has been rated #1. It is very good value for the money. I especially liked the big shower head and the lovely Spanish China that... more
