bbqbears Posted June 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Can anyone tell me whether or not most Barcelona taxis take credit cards these days? Thanks, Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua Posted June 27, 2022 #2 Share Posted June 27, 2022 In May, we took a taxi from the Hotel Jazz to the Barcelona port. The taxi took credit cards however the driver told me that my card was rejected. I gave him cash for the fare but did not get a receipt. When my Visa bill came, it had a $25 charge for the taxi. I am happy to say that I disputed the charge and won. I was lucky and need to remember to get a receipt for whatever method of payment I use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbqbears Posted June 27, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted June 27, 2022 That's disheartening. Yes, that's a good reminder--get receipts for everything. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua Posted June 27, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I was mad at the taxi and at myself. However, the fact that I won the dispute gives me hope that the taxi company realized they made an error. I hope you have a great trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girlloves2cruise Posted July 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Aqua, how was the Jazz hotel? We are doing TransAtlantic cruise in Oct and need a hotel for the night. Also, how far is it from the port? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will also be at Hotel Jazz and although I have never been there before, it gets really good reviews. We are leaving from Orlando on Oct 8th, arriving the 9th.

Rare mskaufman Posted August 17, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We were in Barcelona and used cards for taxis. We have also stayed at Hotel Jazz and have good things to say. Wherever you stay in Barcelona you will need a taxi to get to the port so stay where it is convenient for touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 0106 Posted September 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 2, 2022 @aqua@mskaufman How was Hotel Jazz,particularly location, cleanliness and safety? Any chance of an early check in? Did you get a Covid test nearby, required for my cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mskaufman Posted September 2, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Location was good in relation to Placa Catalunya. Clean and safe, yes. Don't remember anything about early check in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs f. Posted September 13, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2022 We were in jazz hotel just before covid. Got in very early. They offered us 2 options....there was a room available that we could have immediately or they would store our bags till later. We took the immediate room.....it was great. Very quiet hotel. We had also ordered a case of wine from a local place. It was to be delivered to the hotel while we were out. No problem. Reception took delivery and held it till we got back from touring. One thing...... i found the bathroom floor very slippery when wet. The tub was pretty deep and no grab bars. Easy walk to Placa Cataluna where we caught the HOHO bus and where another tour left from. Just outside front door was a lovely Asia restaurant. Casual. Packed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sealegs13 Posted September 14, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 14, 2022 We are staying at Hotel Jazz at the end of the month. Glad to hear good things about it. I don't understand the deep bathtubs in Europe. I'm not sure what older people do, I almost killed myself in Lisbon a few months ago getting in. I actually emailed the hotel to ask for a handicapped accessible room with a walk-in shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
