The hotel itself was fine however the area was pretty rough and we did not feel safe walking home in the evening. I will say the hotel staff were excellent, super friendly and helpful. I wish it were in a better neighborhood

Nice place!
Decently located to La Rambla. The hotel itself was very comfortable. It has an excellent staff. Every person we came into contact with was great!
The room was nicely appointed. Every thing we needed!
If I had any negatives it would be that the hallways are very noisy. The doors close loudly and you can hear every conversation people have walking down the hall. I’m not sure anything can be done about that. It didn’t really bother our sleep.

The minute I stepped into the reception, I knew it was going to like my stay. The front lobby was spacious and so was our room. The room was modern and had the right storage room in the bathroom and in the room. The king bed was heaven as I slept so well even with my friend sharing the same bed. We walked to La Ramblas area and other areas. Would come back if visiting again.

Good location with great transport links
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a good location with a metro station directly outside and a 10 minute walk from Las Ramblas and the port. Rooms were a little dated but had everything needed for the stay including an iron. The view from the rooftop is stunning, especially at sunset. Don’t be fooled by the size of the pool though it is quite small, we didn’t use it but would be OK to cool off. Would definitely return and have recommended to others since our return.
