✨ LOCATION: Amazing. The walking distance from the hotel to all major tourist spots and visit-worthy places was less than 40-45 minutes (to the farther ones) and 5-10 were the closest ones. As an example, it took us about 20 minutes to get to the Sagrada Familia, and about 7 minutes to get to casa Batllo from the hotel. Aside from the restaurants inside the hotel, there are several bars, restaurants and coffee shops in the area. Vis-a-vis from the hotel we had a 24h shop that was really handy. ✨ TRANSPORTATION: Several bus stations are really close to the hotel and the nearest metro station was at a 5 minute distance (slow walking). Taxis had a station right beside the hotel and the reception was more than happy to call one for us whenever we needed it. ✨ FACILITIES: The pool was clean and towels were offered by the hotel. We received complimentary water every day which was really thoughtful given the temperatures. A detail that I found really nice, there was a big jug of lemon water in the reception to enjoy by all guests. What I really liked about the elevators was that you could get to the floors with rooms only if you had an access card, which made us feel very safe knowing that only people checked in the hotel were able to wander around the living area. ✨ ROOM: We got the cheapest room, it had a lot of space, with a really big bed, enough furniture to feel cozy and a really big bathroom. The AC was working properly and the views were stunning. The bathroom was split into 3 areas: the WC side (toilet + bidé), was separated by a glass door to allow privacy if anyone else needed to use the other side of the bathroom, the "bathing" side, with a bathtub and shower head and the sink space that had a lot of counter space to put all your bathroom belongings. A really nice detail was the high quality shampoo and shower gel attached to the bathtub, so we didn't need to bother bringing our own.

I think the only downside I could find was that the glass separating the bathtub from the sink was a bit small and when showering you would get water everywhere. Other than that, I have nothing else to "complain" about.

The location was perfect! Very central but in a quiet area. Elegant neighbourhood and beautiful building. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was very easy to reach, and there were lots of taxis just outside. We were pleasantly surprised by the modern decoration inside the hotel.

Overall we had a very pleasant stay and we would go back to this hotel. However, there are a few things that should be improved: first, room street noise insulation: our room was facing the street (a very busy junction) and was very noisy so we asked to change for a quieter room, which was much nicer as we couldn’t hear the noise from the street anymore. Also, the timing of room cleaning surprised us: on several occasions, we came back at 4pm and the room still hadn’t been cleaned even though we had left early morning. Finally, the roof terrace exceeded our expectations (huge terrace with great views over the city), however the food menu at the bar was very limited and food was not good at all! They should really review the menu and offer simple but good dishes (incl. mixed salads).

Outstanding hotel 👌🏽

location was perfect for going to the center, beach, restaurants, bar. even a supermarket was just at the otherside of the street. the day before the marathon of BCN we needed an early breakfast (05:30), the staff managed to ask what we need for eating before a competition and they made a homemade GRANOLA just for us with yogurt. BIG thanks from us because is was just perfect. also the breakfast staff was just great guys :-) THANKS AGAIN. S & P

swimmingpool was cold :-p

Loved the location. Walking distance to Placa Catalunya, Gothic Quarter and Xmas markets and lots of restaurants nearby. The outside was beautifully decorated for Xmas. Our 6th floor terrace room was fabulous and big, huge terrace with deckchairs and table and chairs. Waking to rising sun with a coffee in hand from the coffee machine was an extra treat. We used the small, but adequate gym every morning and sauna. Thank you for a wonderful comfortable stay. I can imagine the rooftop bar and pool must be amazing in summer.

Nothing

During our first night, we had a little situation with the acoustics (they put us right next to the pool motor house), and there was this incredibly loud noise that kept us from sleeping. But, as soon as I spoke with the receptionist, they were very happy to solve the issue. We ended up having an upgrade to a better room and our stay was perfect after that. The hotel is in the best location possible, and we truly loved the new room. Would definitely recommend!

Very thin walls

I would definitely stay here again! The location of the accommodation is very convenient, close to nearby attractions, all within walking distance. If you need to go to Park Gruell, you can reach there directly by taking the nearby bus stop. If the destination is far away, there are taxis waiting outside the hotel, which is very convenient. The staff at the front desk are very friendly and provide detailed answers to any questions. There are also supermarkets and many shops nearby, so it's okay if you haven't booked breakfast. Everything about the room was fantastic, and we were fortunate to have a room with sunlight streaming in. The size of the room is spacious enough for us to open three large suitcases. Additionally, when we arrived, it happened to be during a water conservation period, and the hotel was thoughtful enough to place small cards reminding guests to join in efforts to conserve the environment.

Just a small reminder. The air conditioning takes a bit longer to cool. It might be because we were wearing sleeves, so we turn it on early to resolve this.

It’s a good luxurious hotel! We arrived early and couldn’t check in but they helped us with the storage of our luggage and do a pre check-in so that we could enjoy our day in Barcelona. Location is perfect, clean and nice neighborhood, lots of places are walking distance, or the metro is 2 min walk (and the train from the airport also stops close by). There are lots of stores and good restaurants. The staff was amazing, helped us with respect and were friendly. The room was clean and spacious. There was also a great and big balcony with chairs and where you can lay down. The rooftop had a good vibe and gives you a nice view. The pool was small and cold to swim in. Breakfast was perfect! Highly recommend staying here!

Everything is great

Breakfast had an excellent selection. Catered for gluten free The staff were cheerful, hugely helpful ,friendly, kind and went out of their way to accomadate requests. They moved our room for us after one night following my feedback. Roof top bar and aspect pleasant and attractive. Bar menu good. The adjourning room suites which other family members were in seemed good, large and comfortable.

Some rooms at front have some traffice noise ... Rooms at the back very quiet.

All the staff were exceptionally helpful, especially the concierge and the front desk staff. We spent two weeks at this hotel, and it was a perfect choice. The location was ideal, room rate was reasonable, the room was spacious and clean, and the people were wonderful. It was a great base to enjoy Barcelona. When we return to the city, we’ll be staying at the Gran Hotel Havana.

These are minor issues. There doesn't seem to be any breakfast option other than the one that can be included with your room. If you don't get that, you have to pay for an expensive buffet. We really wanted a modest (continental-type) breakfast. We ended up going to a nearby coffee shop every morning. The other issue was that the daily cleaning times were inconsistent. These didn't really bother us, and wouldn't keep us away.
