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.

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.
