Reviews

First-class hotel in a brilliant location.

Pros: This is a first class hotel in a really convenient and interesting part of Barcelona. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and nothing seems too much trouble. The rooms are very well-appointed - a real pleasure to have stayed here.

Cons: I think the lovely rooftop bar and pool would be better without canned music - there's a magic to hearing the seagulls and the distant noise of the city...

Cons: Only thing was bed was a tiny bit too firm for my personal liking but it was a good quality bed and lovely soft bedding.

A great hotel in a central location with a warm welcome and great facilities.

Pros: The location was great, really easy to walk to most places and felt safe. The staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful. The facilities were great and the food and drinks really good. There was plenty of bottled water in the room which was replenished often. The rooms were very clean. The roof top bar with pool and sauna were nice and the hotel restaurant was very good. Breakfast was plentiful and the staff were super helpful.

Cons: The rooms are very small and compact, ok for 1 or 2 nights or for 1 person but any more than 2 nights and 2 people you really need a bigger room. Not great if you want room service as the room only has enough space for a small table and 1 chair. The room was also quite noisy with the city traffic sounds, which can’t really be helped. The pillows were foam and not very comfortable.
