Clean, well maintained, free coffee station. Location close to main streets.
Our room was above a very noisey street, with people and cars making a noise right till 5am, worse was on the weekend night. We were at level two. Perhaps the noise is lesser on the higher floors

Location was great for us, a minute walking from the theater where we had tickets in the evening. Plenty of restaurants, cafés and bars around. Also close to the Ramblas and the harbour. Room and beds very comfortable, impeccably clean, with very friendly staff. Small pool and bar on the 10th floor. Our flight being late afternoon, we could leave our luggage in a bagage storage close to the reception and also use the facilities before travelling.
Getting into the bath is very narrow and a bit tricky, I found. Some travelers complained about the noise, but we found that it was quiet enough, even though sirens could be heard late at night during the week end. All the hotels in this area would be exposed to it.

The card and cake waiting for us in the room were a delightful and impressive surprise. Very good.
Bed linen was changed every three days and towels daily, though coffee and tea supplies weren't always replenished. The pool is very small, and there is no spa area.

Amazing hotel and such a lovely experience! The reception team was super welcoming and always ready to help with any questions. Special shoutout to Oscar — he was so much fun, gave us loads of great tips on where to go, and was absolutely adorable! I especially loved doing my workouts on the rooftop under the sun and then cooling off in the pool. Such a great experience and definitely one of my favourite things about the hotel! The rooms are perfect — spacious, clean, and really comfortable. Overall, an amazing hotel — would definitely stay here again! ✨
The only thing worth knowing before coming is that the hotel is located near an area that can feel a little sketchy (not the hotel’s street itself, but the neighbourhood just behind it). That said, it didn’t affect our stay at all.

The room ( internal, high floor ) was elegant, spacious snd quiet. The staff were all fantastic. The Rooftop views were spectacular and the pool was good to cool down in. The tortilla slices at breakfast were my fave.
A bit far from Born and Gothic quarter but still there were character laden streets and good Tapas bars around. Accomodation prices are really high in Barcelona .

Pleasant
A clean and normal size room.
1. The double bed is two single.bed put together and the worst part is the single beds are on wheels so we will drop in between. 2. Noise from the hallway, noise from the street, noise from the upstairs and noise from the vibration of the metro or truck passes by. 3. The curtains will let the lights through.
