The terrace bar didn’t work the whole time we were there. The pool doesn’t work as well. Very limited choices of breakfast. I will not come back, and don’t recommend! The only good thing about the hotel is the location!

The hotel is located next to a metro station with great transport links, and it’s also a walking distance from many of the city’s attractions. The rooms are well-furnished and spacious, and we found the beds very comfortable. The staff is welcoming and friendly, and the reception is 24/7 if you need anything. The only thing to bear in mind is that it’s on a busy road, so at night it’s not the quietest location.

Nice enough, clean, helpful staff. Good that it is possible to open the window for fresh air. Pillows uncomfortable. Some things in the room could use a refresh. The desk in the room was unsuited to business travel. The view from the room of the neighbour's laundry was... Interesting.

The hotel is a good location for las Ramblas and port vell but the surrounding area is quite dark, dismal and everywhere is covered in lots of graffiti which is quite off putting. The hotel is extremely clean and the hotel staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is a rare find like an oasis in a desert
