Jose Maria of the Marina View B&B made all aspects of our stay in Barcelona great. He assisted us in finding restaurants, navigating the metro and arranging travel to the airport. ... We do not hesitate recommending the Marina View B&B as well as the worldby.com sites. We have used them to book rooms in Rome and Barcelona and on both occasions the website has delivered great results. ... Costs at checkout were as described on our voucher. Very simple and easy. ... Close to all major tourist spots along with the metro and touristic buses. Plenty of great restaurants within easy walking distance. ... A home away from home. Jose Maria made you feel like family. Always glad to provide assistance and help you understand the city. Quiet, homey and overlooking the harbor. A gem in this great city.

Since the moment we arrived, we were treated like royalty. The hostess was very warm and professional. ... I have no words to express how happy I was with my stay at Marina View B&B. The place is absolutely beautiful and impeccably clean. Furthermore, the Columbus room is very spacious and the view to the Marina...marvelous. However, the highlight of my stay was no such much the wonderful room and location (walking distance from Las Ramblas and Gothic Quarter), but for the amazing attention that the staff offered. The hostess was incredibly helpful, always happy to help and eager to offer great advise. I could not have asked for more, and as a result of my pleasant stay, I rate this accommodation as a 5 star! ... Again, since we arrived our stay at Marina View was a positive experience, and the departure was no exception. The hostess was nice enough to help us with the luggage and to get a taxi. She was wonderful! ... As a 5 star accommodation!

The property was easy to find from the cruise ship dock. ... Jose was most courteous and charming. He paid a lot of attention to detail. ... We were escorted to a waiting taxi at four o'clock in the morning. Quite exceptional service I must say! ... The property was much closer to Las Ramblas than we expected. Although on a main Boulevard, it was quite quiet at night. ... It was the epitome of Spanish hospitality. An innkeeper who went way beyond what was expected. I would recommend it highly to anyone!

My partner and I were a little apprehensive when we arrived at the Marina View as its outward appearance was less than desirable. However when we got inside the residence we were pleasantly surprised at how clean and bright the accomodation was, and how helpful our host was. Our stay in Marina View was splendid and we would reccommend the business to anyone

It was confusing when we arrived as the B&B was in an apartment block and there was no sign for the B&B on the outside. ... Fantastic place to stay, location was great and the staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. ... The owner went out of his way to get us a taxi on the morning ... The comment about the entrance. Also that the owner spoke excellent English and was extremely helpful and friendly ... Fantastic location, fantastic room and lovely owner, it felt like you were actually staying in spain because the B&B was in a normal apartment block.

Jose Maria was a fabulous host. He was extremely nice, allowed us to use a computer and gave us good restaurant recommendations. Plus he is a very nice man and we appreciated his attention. And the location on the port near La Rambla cannot be beat. ... Our only caveat was that we booked two rooms of vastly different quality but nearly the same price. Both rooms were super clean and comfortable. But one had a great view and was large with a sofa. The other one was smaller and with no view at all. We would have preferred two rooms of equal quality or a bigger difference in the price. But with that said, we had a lovely stay and would return. ... Jose Maria helped us with our bags and helped us get a taxi. He is wonderful, a perfect host. ... I would mention only that there are 2 rooms with excellent views and others with none at nearly the same price. ... I would recommend this B&B but suggest the friend book a room with a view.

It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit with breakfast and less bread products. My stay was 5 days and a little variety would have been nice.
