2-night trip

10/10

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.

Location is very good. Metro is near or you can go for a walk to the Barceloneta beach or Montjuic. Breakfeast is rich and tasty. All the staff are very friendly and professional

This was a lovely stay and location was ideal for site seeing
5-night trip

8/10

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.

All facilities clean and tidy. Good choice of food. Next to metro line for travel anywhere. Walkable to places of interest - Barcelona port shopping centre, boat rides, tour bus.
2-night trip

8/10

Staff were helpful and very professional, the hotel was nice and walking distance from a lot of places we wanted to visit. Beds comfortable. The only issue is that our room was to the street and you could people talking and the day of the marathon people cheering.
2-night trip

10/10

Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff, perfect location. Rooms facing the street tend to be noisy at night, ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper.
6-night trip

10/10

On arrival we were allocated the last available standard room which had no window. I am a little claustrophobic and despite there being a pretend window with a light behind it in the room we had to move. There were no superior rooms left either so we upgraded to a Privilege room which was superb. The change was made easily and the room was lovely with views across the city. So make sure to check when booking that you have a window if you want one! Bed and pillows were comfortable. Staff were all very happy to help with any query with a smile. Breakfast was varied and fantastic - highly recommend. Parking is under the hotel and quite tight to get in and out of but very convenient. Cocktail bar on the roof next to the pool is open until 8pm and has lovely views across the city. Location is 10 minute walk to Las Ramblas and the Port of Barcelona. Very convenient location.
