I stayed at this hotel on the way to Palma and I loved everything about it. I was in Palma for one day and on my way back I had to stay there again. Roger on the reception is exceptionally friend and a credit to the hotel. I would recommend anyone to stay there and I will for sure stay there again next time I am in Barcelona and hopefully sooner rather than later.
It would be very hard to find something not to like!!!

The hotel location is great for exploring. The hotel amenities are nice, especially the rooftop pool. The rooms were fine - modern and reasonably equipped. Unfortunately the air conditioning was very poor. Even with the thermostat at 10 Celsius, little to no cooling happened and we had to open windows to be able to sleep. I can’t imagine what it would be like in peak summer. The staff were very indifferent and unengaging, and they appeared that way with everyone. We did not have breakfast at the hotel - instead we walked across the street and enjoyed wonderful fresh breakfasts at Fred y Elsa for less than the hotel charged.
The lack of interest from the staff and the poor air conditioning…

overall the hotel was great, location good, but where the hotel excels was the staff very friendly and efficient. I would recommend this hotel to others
couldn't find the tv remote but when I called down to the front desk someone came right away and found it for me. great quick response.

Loved our stay here. The hotel is in a very central location, with good public transport links if needed. The room was very good size and the bed was soooo comfortable! Had the added bonus of both a bath and a separate shower which is unusual. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. It wasn't warm enough to use the pool but it was a cute rooftop area which I can imagine would be lovely when the weather cooperates!
The only issue I had was the in-room hairdryer didn't work (but reception provided me with another) and the shower leaked.

The beds were very comfortable, and I liked that there were 2 showers in each bathroom, so two people could shower at once. It is very quiet - I didn't hear any noise from outside the hotel. The location is really good. You are on the edge of El Born, but 5 minutes walk to Eixample area as well. There are a few very good restaurants and fast food/pizza places nearby, so something to suit every budget. Checkout is 12pm. Breakfast is served til 11am.
The staff on the first few days of our visit weren't very friendly. They didn't even say hello, or goodbye when you came and went, which I found odd - I think that's a basic thing that most hotel staff do when you enter or leave the reception. They kept their heads down or on the computer. However, the staff on the last couple of days were different and said hello and goodbye all the time. The porter was probably the friendliest, and always looked you in the eye and said hello. The hotel breakfast is good, but I think for 20 euros you could get much better at the place across the street or a breakfast place in Eixample, where the standard is far higher. I think the breakfast is worth about 10 euros. The hotel decor is a little dated. The bathroom needs a bit of a refurb - my shower door didnt close fully, leaking water on the floor. In one of the other rooms, the bath plug didn't close fully, so a bath would slowly leak water. There was also mould or dirt in the shower of the first bathroom. The rooftop is OK, but it reminded me more of a hostel than a hotel. It is very basic in decor and needs a refurb. It also isn't cleaned very often. It is maybe checked once a day, so there will be bottles, glasses, cigarette packets etc. of guests who have been there before you.
