We booked a comfort room and were initially very pleased with its spaciousness and being on the top floor. However, when we returned from dinner, it was clear the A/C was not working properly; it was extremely hot and would not cool down. We spoke to the desk; they confirmed an issue and claimed they didn't have a single other comfort room available that night. They switched us to a much smaller and frankly very cramped standard room on a lower floor looking into an apartment block where at least the A/C worked. This was hugely disappointing. The next morning, they said they still didn't have any comfort rooms available but would refund us the price difference between the two room types. I asked for something additional like breakfast the next, final morning, and the manager (I think her name was Marlena) graciously agreed to that and was definitely apologetic.
With this exception, our stay was nice. I was surprised by the location of the hotel in a quiet, more modern residential/commercial/artsy district a bit north of central Barcelona. But I got used to it and liked the 20-minute walk to the beach. My husband thought it was unsafe (I think he equates graffiti with unsafe), but by that measure all of Barcelona is unsafe. I especially loved the rooftop terrace, bar, pool, and jacuzzi with amazing 360-degree views in all directions (though didn't like the 2-euro towel fee, which seemed unnecessary). Breakfast was great. I admire the hotel's sustainability initiatives.
