    The staff at the receptiondesk is not that friendly at all. They don't give you an explanation about the hotel, they don't help you to find restaurants etc in the surroundings, they don't give you good tips. We had to ask for a map, and that's literally all we got. When it was raining outside we had to ask for an umbrella while they were just standing there. So very beautiful hotel, would recommend when visiting Barcelona! But so disappointed in the unfriendly staff of the frontdesk.

    Very beautiful hotel in a nice neighbourhood. Lovely restaurants in the surroundings. Elsa Y fred is a must-try! You can easily use the subway/metro to get to the citycentre. Breakfast was nice. Swimmingspool is oke but very small and there's not much place for chairs. Unfortunally we didn't have the luck during our 3-day stay to have a pool at the swimmingpool.

    Lack of fridge in the room - big minus for that!! Area where the hotel is located is danger - we have witnessed few robberies just outside the hotel.

    Nice room, clean, rooftop swimming pool, good air conditioning, breakfast, safe in the room.

    The hotel was modern, clean and in a great location, close to transport, hop on off bus and walkable to city centre. Roof top bar and pool were excellent and buffet breakfast was ok. Restaurants and bars all very close and easily accessible. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    We originally booked this as a package via Expedia which was several £100's cheaper than booking the hotel on its own - it is a lot of money for 4 nights! We didn't get new water every day and we feel the room could have benefitted from a fridge to keep water etc cool. Our room said we had a patio but we didn't have one unless this was a sahfer one on our floor. We we're also unaware of the £100 deposit which the hotel held and was part of our spending money. I would suggest the hotel notifying people so they know this is expected as well as the tax which wasn't included in the hotel price

    The hotel went above and beyond e.g we had planned to visit in April 2024 but due to 2 deaths in our family, we moved it to September and they still treated to us to champagne and a cake on arrival. It was very central, we got towels changed, the rooms were lovely, the staff were friendly and rooftop bar and pool was great between sight seeing breaks

    It’s not loud at all but if you’re a light sleeper and worried about the neighbouring rooms just bring ear plugs and there’ll be literally nothing to complain about.

    We loved the location, the cleanliness, the very helpful and attentive staff. The room is an interesting layout and as someone else said there’s not much privacy but if you’re close mates or a couple who doesn’t mind bathroom in the room(!) then it’s perfect. Note the balcony is only enough to pop out and stand on for a bit of air, or to dry your clothes but it’s still nice to have. The pool is a nice touch. Nice vibe up on the rooftop and honestly, wonderful views! Overall we loved it :) don’t listen to the bad reviews.

    Overall it was very good. Only remark was that the room was not cleaned the after the first night. Don’t know if it is standard or they just forgot to clean our room.

    Good location, close to Metro and also good restaurants in the neighborhood. The room was nice. Good AC so the room was cold when we got home from the hot city.

    The rooftopbar closes a little bit early around 10 pm. The sounds from the hallway are clearly audible from the room.

    The location around the corner of the Arc de Triumpf, 15 minutes walk from the Ramblas is great. The hotel is very clean and modern. The rooftopbar is a great place to hang out.

    There was a balcony but it was so small you couldn't really use it. I would have preferred the room without balcony as it would have had a front facing view.
