Wonderful comfortable stay perfect for gothic quarter

Pros: The hotel was older than expected but renovated very well in a modern style . We booked an “exterior” room which we didn’t really understand what this was as no explanation on this site. It means a street facing room and the hotel overlooks a very busy main road. Luckily we were given a top floor room which was quiet. The room was very well appointed with very comfortable beds, a lovely balcony and an incredible rain fall shower. It also had a fridge but this wasn’t very cold. We slept very well but the aircon system even on 16c blew out hot air?! The breakfast buffet was amazing quality & variety. Great location on edge of gothic quarter and stroll from marina Staff excellent helpful & friendly Lovely towels & tea coffee facilities

Cons: No milk provided with tea or coffee in room Used cups and glasses not replaced by housekeeping Poor air con

Excellent location, comfortable and quiet room.

Pros: Excellent location between El Born neighborhood and the Gothic Quarter. The room was comfortable and very quiet. The staff was polite and attending.

Cons: The temperature in the room was a bit high for me and I couldn't control it from the room thermostat. I should mention that there were no such complaints from the rest of the group for their rooms.

Super hotel and staff in a fantastic location to explore

Pros: This was the perfect location to explore for a weekend city break with our 3 18-23 yr old kids. The property was clean and central . And had history which was great to read about. The staff were just amazing nothing was too much trouble they were always smiling and so helpful - they sorted our taxis and our bus tour tickets any questions were answered. Breakfast was superb we all are heartily and remained full till late after noon the selection was superb and fresh from fruit / cereals and yoghurts ( they did soy milk and gluten free options ) - to cooked breakfast and pastries and a whole gamut of drinks hot and cold. The room were clean and tidy with complimentary slippers and toiletries the hotel was quiet at night and the beds were so comfy we all slept really well ! We are already talking about returning and staying at the hotel again - couldn’t fault anything.
