Excellent location with great service.
Leisure trip with my daughter and we had a wonderful stay. The rooftop pool and bar are superb to sit around as the sun goes down. Excellent breakfast choice and the staff are incredibly helpful. Close to lots of great places to eat and easy to get on the Metro. Thoroughly recommended

Good Hotel, Good Location.
The hotel has great city location with a short walk getting you to many restaurants, bars and Las Ramblas. We primarily used the hotel, not because we had stayed before, but this time for its location to The Apolo music venue over the road. The hotel was clean, comfortable and seemed to be well maintained. The staff for check in and departure very efficient and friendly and approachable throughout the duration of our stay. The only downside was the noise for us. The machinery for the lifts seemed to be on the other side of the bathroom wall and when the lift was in use it was noticeable in the room. So come 5 am when the lifts started to be used more frequently it woke us up even with the bathroom door closed. That said, we’d stay there again but knowledgeable in what room to avoid!!

Comfortable stay.
A lovely stay. Nice room - we were upgraded to superior room without asking, which was nice. The check in was quick and easy as we'd done most of the paperwork prior to arrival online. Roof top has lovely views across the city. Didn't have breakfast so unable to comment on that.
