A good place to stay
Lovely hotel, beautiful setting. Staff were friendly. They could do with more signage and better Wi-Fi (it was obvious it was being utilised by corporate guests).
The room was a good size and the balcony perfect, with spectacular views. An easy walk to the beach, an uphill walk back again! The bathroom was small but fine for one person. I didn't have dinner at the hotel but breakfast was good.
I had a problem with my in-room safe and it was managed and fixed as soon as I reported it.
My only gripe was that there was no kettle and cups in the room. I don't want to have to go to the bar / restaurant every time I want a hot drink.

Last stop of Spain trip
Easy to locate, great views, nice pool area.
We were on the ground floor next to walkway to restaurant and pool access, so it was a bit noisy at times. Overall would recommend.

During booking, I booked a room with a king bed. When I arrived at the property the hotel gave me a room with a single bed and told me I had to pay 25 euro’s if I wanted a single bed. Even though that was the room I booked.
They upsell for things you already paid for. It’s a total scam.

Location is amazing, loved the view from the restaurant. The room itself was good but my main issue was the WIFI. I stayed for 7 days and the WIFI was extremely terrible. I complained a couple of times but didn’t really receive any solution. Secondly, the room temperature was hot and somehow the thermostat in my room did not work. I complained about it, again no solution. It’s an average hotel overall with a good view.

It is a gorgeous hotel! The staff is friendly and they have lots of useful amenities, and a gorgeous pool. There was actually a wedding there while we were staying.
Lots of dining options about a 15-20 minute walk away, and they'll also be by the beach. Enjoyed our time there. Note: It's not located exactly in the heart of Barcelona, it's in Castelldefels. Expect to uber or public transit to the city.
