Good cleaning, fast responses, friendly cleaners.
Breakfast was poor. Internet was very slow. The biggest disappointment they gave smaller room that we paid for. Impossibility to sunbathe, because all sunbeds were booked in advance. Nobody told us about that.

The location is great, in the Gothic Quarter but away from La Rambla. Lots of options for food and shopping, and also close to several laundromats.
The bed is the most comfortable bed I have slept on in Europe, ever! And the Euro pillows are items I want for my home.
Also, the amenities are quite nice. Rooftop pool and bar, with food. A spa with hammam. A small but well kept gym. And A/C that works well!
Last, the customer service is very good. Air France lost a bag, but our Concierge, Valentina, was able to help us call the local Air France office and we eventually had our bag delivered to the hotel.

Centrally located, very good breakfast, very helpful staff - the restaurant is also excellent
Fancy design is sometimes not practical : window you can’t open and a shower pane of the bathtub that leaks so you flood the bathroom when you use it. WiFi in the room was not working.

Staff were so friendly and helpful with me, an English speaker. My room was cleaned and freshly stocked with coffee every day. Turn down service with chocolate at night was an additional plus. The location turned out to be perfect for the metro and many places I wanted to see. Ate my best dinner in walking distance to the hotel. I was visiting my daughter at the university and that was also convenient. As a solo female traveler, I was so thankful for how generously I was treated. I had a post dinner dessert and wine in the hotel restaurant--same lovely treatment. Would definitely return here.

Very Poor
It had a nice rooftop area
The staff at the hotel got a taxi for us to the airport and they told us it would be around €30-40 which is a pretty normal amount. Instead they got us a very expensive taxi that had nothing extra, but charged us €60. Overall it seemed like their customers were not their first priority.

Terrible experience – definitely not a 5-star hotel!
When we arrived, the hotel tried to charge us more than the price shown on Booking. While we were standing there, they even changed the price online to make it look higher! Luckily, we took a screenshot.
We were too tired to change hotels, so we stayed — big mistake. The room smelled awful, the window couldn’t be opened, and there was no ventilation in the bathroom. They gave us a disabled-access room without asking, and never followed up when we asked for another one.
The beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable, and the service was poor. This place is nowhere near 5-star quality.
Would never stay here again!

Great location and very nice rooftop terrace pool area.
Very expensive for what it is. Small room and honestly nothing amazing that justifies such a high room rate. Not even a scale or an ironing board in the room…

Pleasant
I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, I had a mixed experience. The location is excellent, making it convenient to explore the area, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating.
Firstly, I found the prices to be somewhat overrated, especially considering that there are other hotels nearby with better locations that offer similar or even better amenities at roughly half the price. Additionally, the pool closes quite early at 7:00 PM, which limited our options for evening relaxation. The gym is quite small and not open 24 hours, which was inconvenient.
Another area where the hotel could improve is housekeeping. During our five-day stay, we noticed that the bathrobe was not replaced or cleaned properly; we kept the same one for the entire duration, which was less than satisfactory. It would be great if they paid more attention to these details to enhance the guest experience.
Overall, the hotel has a good location and friendly staff, but there’s room for improvement in value and service consistency.

Location is outstanding! Staff is excellent except at the rooftop lounge where the service was poor.
Roof top lounge. The views are terrific, however.
Thank you for your information!
