The location is excellent, with the metro literally right in front of the hotel. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby, and a 24/7 supermarket in the same building, which is very convenient. The breakfast is amazing, with lots of options, and everything was clean. The staff were also very friendly
The noise level was intolerable, it was impossible to keep the window open, and we could barely hear ourselves talking. It’s worth noting that we were in a street-facing room on the third floor, which likely contributed to the issue. Luckily, we had ear plugs, the only way you could sleep. Additionally, the ‘pancakes’ section at breakfast was disappointing and not tasty at all.

Avoid this hotel to save yourself getting robbed! A member of housekeeping decided they had a right to root through my belongings and rob 200 euro on me.. I had money in a sealed envelope in a bag with my belongs and some theif helped themselve to 200 euro.. I didn't realize till I got to the airport so I sent the hotel a message and they couldn't even be bothered to reply.. I see from other reviews it's a common occurrence I just wish I had of known before hand but you would imagine your property is safe in a hotel room you pay a lot of money for!! Wouldn't recommend anyone to stay here after this, people say barcelona is full of pick pockets, sadly they're even in the hotels over here too !!

Location. Helpful & informative staff. Roof top small, but comfortable with nearly 360 view of the city. The Metro is right out the door!
Note: Barcelona CITY ROOM tax is very high & is an additional fee to room cost. Street life is active & noisy even with windows closed.

Very Comfortable overall. We liked the rooftop pool. We liked the overall field of the place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Loved having coffee and water downstairs.
Food options close by were scares. I wanted some genuine Spanish food, but could not find one close by.

The hotel is conveniently located within a 15–20 minute walk of the city center. Both the room and bathroom were spacious. Upon arrival, our room did not have a window; however, the hotel promptly relocated us to a room with a window the following morning.

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, coffee in lobby, good location
The room had a frosted window, it felt claustrophobic. I should have told them that I need to see the outside. When I had to extend my stay I was given a better room

On our arrival we asked for a big bed so our kid can sleep with us and they changed our room to a better one with balcony. The receptionist offered a coloring book to my daughter it was so nice. They were very helpful all this time. The hotel is 10m away from the metro but actually we walked to the aquarium, the sea etc. It is near to lots of restaurants. The roof is perfect for chill and pictures
Only the hot water needed 2-3minutes to arrive but everything else was perfect
