  • Marta Martinez

Dreadful service. People is utterly condescendent and rude, lazy and unwilling to help. They have managed to get the worse reviews of all embassies, North Korea Embassy has a 3.2 Rate, well ahead of us. I wonder if they just don’t get paid at all? Why is Spain so obsolete in important matters like these? Is it really so hard?

  • A A

Took few weeks to get an appointment and got an email about cancellation just a day before the appointment date. Tried to call, puy on hold for a long time and been charged about £50 as it's a premium number. Had to cancel my plans to go to Spain because of not getting an appointment and due to the whole experience!

This is outrageous and disgusting, I am a citizen of Spain, British police have committed theft to me, the embassy won't even speak to them, they embassy just says they can't help, they won't even reply when I ask why and yes the other reviews from other people are right. This is an embarrassment to Spain.

  • Camila

Called by mobile and was waiting for about only about 15 minutes and the phone call cut me off itself when I did not hang up. It never even gives you any indication of when they might answer your call. And their Spanish speakers are very disappointing, coming from a fluent Argentinean Spanish speaker.

  • Maria L

Hopeless. I have been trying to get an appointment at the consulate since November. According to that the consulate uses to organise appointments the Consulate is closed the majority of the days from now to April. There is no way anyone answers the phone. Absolutely appalling service to the public.

  • Walter White

I have never been able to get through to a Spanish authority in Spain. I thought the embassy in London would be different but no, nobody ever answers the phone and it doesn't matter what time of day you try and call and no replies to email. I really have no idea what to do

  • Gee

I contacted the consulate section of the embassy of Spain in London, United Kingdom about a 5 year multiple entry Schengen Visa. I explained this option was not available with their third party BLS and asked for guidance on what I needed to

  • Lucía Otín

Very disappointed. I was not explained enough and left the premises with doubts about my enquiry. Staff was very quick to respond but with useless information. They recommend to sort the situation myself as a result. Too much people working

  • Alys Thomas

Wouldn't even give it 1 star! Was ringing through for 10 minutes and they just hung up on me!!! Fuming. Flying out in 2 weeks and we need to know whether we need to prove we have a certain amount of euros per day of our stay and how we need

  • MARIA MARTINEZ

  • Jazz Basra

I have been trying to get an appointment for 5 months now and they have nothing available. My mum will now not beable to come on holiday with the family as she cannot get her visa and when I call the embassy they just tell me to postpone my

  • Matthew Handley

Never get a visa through Spain. I don't know what they do but they clearly don't do any work. Its been over 25 days, I've lost money from changing holiday plans, still have no idea where my passport is. If anyone from the Spanish consulate

  • Izzy España

Be prepared for a bad experience, unhelpful staff, unsupportive and rude. Also, without counting the difficulty of getting an online appointment and the 95%possibility of that you are 'missing' a document for renewal your passport or visa.

  • Jose Maria Esteban

As a Spanish national I am embarrassed by the lack of communication from the Spanish consulate in London. They do not answer the phones or reply to e-mails. I am very frustrated and angered. All I want to do is to renew my passport which

  • Jose Cortes

This place is toxic. No way to get appointment. No way to deal with them. Why r they there. ??? What do they do??? How to complaint??? Why r they not fired. We need working people there. We got important thing to do while they can’t even

  • R

They indeed dont answer any phone calls. But I had an appointment today and i was positively impressed. I went there worried after reading such bad reviews on Google but it all went smoothly and stress free. I booked my appointment two

  • valentina castano

Never pick up the phone. I have tried to contact over 25 times and NEVER pick up the phone. When you go to the actual building they are very rude, slow to process and treat you like dirt. Spain give jobs to people that want to do their

  • Hamed Torabi

One of the worst Visa services I've ever experienced. No one answers neither emails or calls and there information on website is out of date which messed up our travel plans badly. Such service is only expected in Third World Countries

  • Laiz Souto

Dysfunctional. Very poor communication and service provision to nationals and residents. Appointments for in-person services are especially problematic nowadays, as the online booking system calendar is always closed and there is no

  • Cintia Lebron

Staff is rude, no manners and are not there to help. Website is outdated, impossible to get an appointment and when you get there there’s always some extra document you ‘need’ even though this is not in the requirements page

  • Fernanda Calleja

There are useless with not interest to help whatsoever. Don’t try to called them because they won’t answer, in case of emergency is better to call the embassy in Spain because this one it’s just discussing.

  • russ mitchell

Amazing building. So much history behind it. People moaning about the services etc. You have the wrong place. This is the embassy not the consulate. Yet you moan about being given false info …

  • david purton

E mailed them in desperation as my mother's (age 95) Spanish pension had stopped. The UK postal strikes had ensured the legal documents providing proof of life had arrived too late to Madrid.

  • Hot Cutbarber

you need a Visa for UK travel document holder have to make An appointment takes 5 days So long They don't even offer electronic visa to holiday in Spain don't understand So unprofessional

  • Nina Vig

Teaching your population of entitled pricks how to behave when they enter London should be a priority. From leaving a trail of trash on the floor to mistreating employees in fast food

  • Faith Rukayat

This is really bad. I’m currently at the spanish consulate in London with my 5year old black boy, who is spanish citizen by the way. We had waited outside here for 6 hours

  • A. Tehrani

This is a review for BLS centre which handles Spain Visa in London. But since I want it to be seen hopefully by the embassy staff, I am writing it here:

  • waxtaste

A completely shamed and un-useful service when you had and emergency. 2+ years later and is still impossible to do anything on the embassy. Workers

  • Santos

You're sent back and fourth, round in circles speaking with rude staff. Nobody wants to help at all. Useless service.

  • The Zine

A Great Orator The promise of audience participation kept the conversations in full flow across
