Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall a very good stay, great views from the rooftop area. The hotel is in a great location very close to lots of tourist attraction's and the metro is right outside the door! We were informed at reception when checking in that the pool that it was shut due to a water shortage in the city, it would of been nice to be informed about this before arrival by the hotel as we only booked the hotel due to it having a pool (I know this is not their fault but just a curtesy email would of been nice as I most probably would of booked a different hotel). Just a note that if you are a light sleeper this hotel might not be the hotel for you as I was woken up a few times by people slamming doors and running around in the corridors, I read people complaining about the noise from the road however when the window was shut you could not hear anything.

Had a fantastic long weekend stay at the hotel. It is very conveniently located with a main Metro stop right outside which will easily take you to the many attractions located within Barcelona. The rooms were clean, and the the facilities were also good (the rooftop pool was not open due to the recent draught in Catalonya, but that is understandable given the circumstances). I would definitely recommend it for the convenience and friendliness of the staff.
