This hotel was lovely and it`s in a good location, only a 10 minute walk to La Ramblas. The swimming pool was very handy after a long day of sight seeing etc. The hotel was very clean and the staff were very helpful, I would definately stay here again.
Very clean, friendly hotel, good sized room with huge bed (may have been up graded)well situated, with comfortable walk to las Ramblas, beaches etc, with subway just outside.
We ate in your restaurant on our first night and found the food very poor and far too expensive. but apart from that the hotel was very good and the staff were very helpfull.
A bit of a distance from town about 15 minutes walk to Ramblas, however next to metro for both line 3 and park train. Free internet access excellent base when visiting.
Wonderful location and friendly efficient staff would definitely stay again.
It would be better if they had a restaurant which didn`t charge exorbitant prices for a cold buffet and tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Pity about guests leaving their towels over the sun loungers....
Great breakfasts. Hotel clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Super location to explore the city. I`ll be back.
Most staff very helpful, however some exceptions - we encountered unhelpful attitude quite frequently when it became obvious that we were non Spanish (or Catalan) speaking tourists.Walls not well insulated - voices could easily be heard from adjacent rooms.
good hotel, good location (close to amenities but in a less busy area). our room was quiet but I wonder if the rooms facing the road would have been noisy.
Rooms comfortable, some road noise at front, metro station immediately outside, walking distance to Las Ramblas area. Buffet breakfast good, evening meal average.
No major complains but, be aware they do have parking, but only limited space and they will charge you 22? per day, can be cheaper parking in one of the pay for parking down the street. Also if travelling with young children watch out as they may try to charge you 25? per day for a travel cot on top of what you have paid already. Also the restaurant only has one high chair, which during our stay of 4 nights was broken, when it was available it had a huge cigarette burn in the middle of the tray, not what I would class as 4 star.
Friendly staff with the exception of the restaurant breakfast staff. Inadequate bar arrangements
Fantastic rooftop panoramic views of city. Good eating locally if you know where to go. Hotel good and staff generally very helpful. Would go again.
The hotel staff are really helpful and friendly, rooms were a good size bed comfortable and breackfast was also good, but the only down side to the hotel was the staff in the breakfast room, very moody and unwelcoming, but would recommend this hotel to friends and family.
Very clean hotel and the staff very helpful
great hotel, great location good service...we will return!!
Very disappointed with the hotel, due to various factors. When looking at the pictures on the internet hotel looked a fair size but really was quite small,looked contemporary but iactually was quite bland, the room was very small, in fact ,smaller than our bedroom at home and found that there was nowhere where we could sit and relax with a drink, as the bar area was within the immediate reception area. The hotel was very clean however, the cleaners in the morning managed to wake us every day with the noise they made. The hotel was very well situated for public transport, but we felt this was the only benefit of the hotel. On our next visit will be looking for a better alternative
nice rooms nice hotel but you will not get much sleep,to much noise from the staff waking you up at five in the morning. good location for the ramblas and good for the metro to get around barcelona.
My only critism was breakfast could be improved. Choice was limited compared to similar hotels I have stayed in and hot food was not particularly hot.
ample storage.The hotel is close to the metro line and therefore makes it easy for sight seeing.
Room and en suite comfortable and clean, satellite television only one English language channel, breakfast good, checkout at 5 am good with taxi ordered and wake up call made on time, splashpool, solarium and gym on roof terrace clean and pleasant.
Firstly let me say, I`ve stayed in quite a few hotels, from flee pits to £200 per night hotels. I`m not trying to sound like the globe trotting business man, just that I stay in hotels more than a couple of times a year when on holiday. I found the hotel to be efficient, well run, clean and comfortable. having said that I didn`t eat in the restaurant, apart from breakfast and I didn`t use the bar. Our room had a, a mini bar, telephone, digital safe, firm comfortable beds, a very nice bathroom with a really good shower and the furnishings were of good standard not tired looking at all. All the lifts worked, which is just as well because we were on the 8th floor. On the 10th floor is a small gym with about 6 exercise bikes and about 4 walking/ski exercise thingies. There is also a small pool and a small area to sit at tables or lie on a sun lounger. Breakfast was better than expected with some hot food, (scrambled eggs and bacon), as well as the more usual continental breakfast.
Good location, 10 minute walk to Las Rambles, Metro outside for easy access to sights.Disappointed with pool on roof, what you see in picture is it, a very good angle used by photographer you can practually touch each side when stood in the middle and only half full when we got there, also had booked a double room but got a twin which was a bit disappointing, breakfast ok, good choices, but having said all that room clean, nice bath/shower plenty of hot water would use hotel again.
Pity there is no bar by the pool. A bit noisy on first floor from road and restaurant.
Hotel walking distance from Ramblas, tube station outside hotel and you can get to all sites from here. Hotel pool is a splash pool and could benefit from having a bar on the roof as well. Bar area is very small and we didn`t see any customers or bar staff. The rooms were very good and the breakfast was very good for continental.
Room and accommodation were fantastic highly recommended
this hotel is very well situated for all the main tourist attractions, 5 mins. ramblas, 5 mins port, 10 mins. gothic quarter, the rooftop pool is small, but very comfortable decking area with sun loungers and chairs, rooms are very clean and maid comes in every day, breakfast was good , cont. style but everything you would want, never had eve. meal, would use again
The continental breakfast was excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly
The room and bathroom allocated was lovely, and well maintained throughout our stay, but unfortunately positioned such that there was no natural light, and the only window, which had obscure glass, opened onto a central well, which was covered; this meant it was not possible to see sunshine (or rain), nor to get any fresh air, although the room was air conditioned.The service in the dining room at breakfast was fine first 2 mornings, but poor on third day. We were pointed to a table, which had no chairs and was partly laid. When we asked for chairs, the waiter pointed to others, which we had to lift, and we had to ask for the remaining items i.e. cups, cutlery, napkins.Otherwise, receptions staff were excellent and pleasant and we enjoyed our stay. We would, despite these disappointments, return to the hotel.
Excellent hotel and great value for money. The location is abit off the beaten track with a real problem with pick pockets, however, as long as you use your common sense you should have a great time. Strongly recommend.
Found the staff very helpful, breakfast was good and contained the normal buffet bits.The location is fine, right next to a metro station and within walking distance of the Las Ramblas
