You know you’re in a good hotel when you walk into the lobby and it smells good. Not only that, but the staff were so friendly and the building is beautiful!

The location was fabulous! Close to everything and extremely walkable. The hotel is lovely. The staff was very helpful. My room was very small, but clean and comfortable. The only negative was that my shower water temperature was barely warm in the morning. However, I'd stay again.
Water wasn't hot in the morning for my shower.

Location, size of the room and the charm of this older hotel which prefer because it has character. Breakfast was lovely at the restaurant and also enjoyed the food for lunch. Enchanting overall. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Would happily return
No in room coffee or tea, shower needed upgrade as hard to step into the tub as my knee hurts (smile)

My wife and I stayed in the hotel for 6 days (from June 6 to June 12), and we found that one of male staff in the front desk was very rude with guests and he should be fired based on the norm of industrial standard. In addition, the hotel does not provide a kettle for guests to boil water for tea in each room. During these 6 days, the hotel's hot and cold water dispenser was out of order for last 4 days of our stay. (The only dispenser in the hotel was not repaired at the time when we checked-out in the morning of June 12). We reported this problem to the male staff at the front desk and this male staff was rude in dealing with us for this issue.
Each room should have a kettle for guests to make teas. The hotel should provide two bottles of drinking waters in each room each day.

Nice hotel, enjoyed the front sitting room for gathering with friends. Liked the connected restaurant, made it convenient for meals, especially the breakfast buffet offered. It was nice with good selection/variety of foods. We had lunch there which was nice also. Enjoyed the large spacious bathroom area and liked the ledge which held a lot of toiletries/makeup.
Didn't want or need the bidet, just took up space in the large bathroom.

Loved the location close to La Rambla. The breakfast was very good with great selection of food.
The elevator is small and slow. There is nobody available to assist with baggage or explain room services. I would have like a little more service in explains the services available.

The hotel itself is really nice, with little balconies and a great location. Amenities are pretty standard, i.e. wifi and breakfast for a small charge. Beds were very comfortable, and A/C was appreciated during our mini heat wave.
The staff were not very friendly, and rude at times. The process of creating the reservation on booking.com was also very difficult--Nouvel requires that you verify a credit card outside of the booking.com system (which already has a verified credit card on file!), and Nouvel sends emails every day, threatening to cancel your reservation if you don't comply. Even when their system was broken, the would not reply in a helpful way, and would just send additional threats. So--if you can get past this, and just ignore the front desk treatment, the hotel and location are lovely.

The shower head points outward so the entire bathroom floor was completely soaked. Really couldn't shower properly. We were in room 506.

The staff was very friendly, helpful and courteous. Breakfast was enjoyable and the location was perfect.
I was there for 4 nights and there was a lot of noise while trying to sleep. The next-door building was loud and I could hear shouting up until midnight. It could have been where my room was located on the first floor.

Good location and good breakfast (if you pay extra for it)
Way too much money for the rooms that were small and outdated decor. Pedestrian only area , so be prepared to walk with your luggage. Staff was rude and just ignored multiple customers standing waiting to check in.

We had a small group and wanted to use the roof area for a group meeting but they refused because we were 5 minutes late.

Enjoyed this very stately hotel with its high ceilings, wood paneling, and rich detailing throughout the lobby and public areas. Arrived early in the morning and appreciated being able to store bags until check-in later in the afternoon. Room was small, but typical for an urban hotel. Buffet beakfast was extra but pretty decent. Look for a bronze plaque in the sidewalk with the hotel name marking the entrance!
The room is paid upon arrival but they requested you verify a credit card through their 3rd party app. The credit card I had on file with Booking.com was valid but I keep getting messages that there was a problem with my card and corresponding threats to cancel the reservation if my card wasn't updated. In fairness, the fine print in the booking details says the property will seek verification of a credit card through a third-party site, but this goes against almost everything Booking.com preaches about web safety.

Location although taxis and Ubers rarely pick you up in the narrow front street. Walking from Plaza Catalunya is most likely.
It isn’t much sound proof.

Location, accessible to metro, shops, and restaurants.
Staff was not overly friendly or accommodating. Needed to head out early one morning before 8 am and breakfast team would not even give me a croissant even though I prepaid for breakfast.
