Reviews and Ratings
The hotel surprised us with neat and well-furnished spacious rooms, though our room wasn't ready after the check-in time. The service staff went above and beyond to accommodate dietary needs, while the location was perfect for exploring the city. The dining experience was exceptional, offering both tasty meals and thoughtful surprises each day. Overall, the hotel stands out for its attention to detail and customer care.
The hotel surpassed my expectations with its spacious and comfortable rooms equipped with everything one could possibly need. The service was exceptional, making me feel welcomed and at home during my stay. The central location allowed me to easily explore the city, making it a convenient choice. Dining options were varied and satisfying, providing a good selection of fresh food. However, the pricing could be more competitive.
The hotel is not that large but clean and functional, well-appointed, and situated in the upper floors, making it ideal for families with one kid. The service was exceptional, including assistance with taxis and a friendly attitude. The location is fantastic, with nearby metro access and close proximity to Gaudi buildings and the Sagrada. The dining experience offered a decent selection, but the price seemed a bit high compared to exploring other Barcelona food options. The overall value for money is commendable.
The hotel is in a great location, just a street away from the busy center but within easy reach, offering a quiet stay. The rooms, despite showing some wear in the bathroom area, are spotlessly clean. While breakfast could use some improvement, the service provided by the hotel staff is exceptional, making guests feel special and welcomed.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was extremely clean and comfortable, providing a modern and cozy retreat at the end of each day. However, the overall look seemed a bit rundown, especially in the bathroom with some minor issues. The location was great, offering easy access to the city center without the hustle and bustle, but being in a very crowded touristy area could be a downside. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff, although the value for money could be better. The dining experience was fantastic, offering a variety of delicious options, especially the fresh French patisseries.
I found the hotel to be a wonderful place to stay, offering luxurious rooms with very comfortable beds despite being right in front of the lift. The spaciousness and nice view added to the experience. However, the location in a crowded touristy area was a drawback.
The hotel offers spacious and well-designed rooms with super attentive staff. The service is exceptionally welcoming and professional. The location is central, providing easy access to excellent restaurants and shopping facilities. The dining experience is good, offering a variety of healthy choices, although some dishes are considered overpriced. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were elegant, clean, big, and modern, with some lovely surprises like free drinks vouchers, complimentary Cava, and delicious desserts. However, they are in desperate need of renovation with cracks around the doors. The facilities were good overall.
