Very Good
Staff was great and the space is beautiful.
Room was very small leaving almost no storage space for clothes or bags which made it feel pretty cramped for two people. There’s also lot of construction outside the room and it’s in a part of town that makes it hard to get to the rest of the city. While you technically can use the pool without a reservation, all the sunbeds and cabanas require pre-booking and take up all the space around the pool making it hard to enjoy spontaneously.

Very Poor
The building is beautiful and the bar and front-desk staff are genuinely kind they’re the only reason this isn’t a one-word review. Everything good here is despite management, not because of it.
Almost everything about how this hotel treats the guests who actually pay to stay here. The rooftop pool is the whole reason you book and it’s the one thing you can’t count on using. Guests get ZERO priority for sun beds; you compete with the public and with private events, and none of this is disclosed when you book. Over four nights the rooftop was blocked or closed for private events again and again. For the World Cup final we were told no reservations were needed, then walked up to find it suddenly “reservation-only” and full locked out of our own hotel’s rooftop. This isn’t bad luck, it’s the business model: they sell the rooftop to events and crowds, and paying guests get whatever’s left over. It gets pettier. We had a 4am checkout for an early flight. They arranged a breakfast bag and an airport taxi then charged us for both. Not a single gesture for guests leaving before dawn. Even the one “comp” (a cabana, after I complained in writing) came only because I pushed, and the same rooftop problems happened again afterward. The apology was PR, not change. Stylish photos, real Barcelona views, and a management team that treats its own guests as an afterthought behind event revenue. Book it for the rooftop and you’ll spend your stay fighting for access to it.

Bed was so comfortable, got a few really good sleeps which is rare.
You have to book for a place to use the pool - ok, small pool, maybe this is essential. But making paying guests commit to a minimum spend of €40 pp each day is ridiculous. Could have stayed in other hotels with pools without having this extra cost. Completely unreasonable to charge hotel guests to use the pool.

The facilities were clean, the room nicely decorated and the bed comfortable. The rooftop with the bar gives a nice view on Barcelona and seems to be liked by hotel guests and other people alike. The staff was very friendly and helpful when another guest arrived late for the same room.
The elevators came to a capacity limit and signals which one to take to go to the rooftop was missing.

The staff were so lovely, they surprised us for our anniversary and the room was nice. Rooftop pool / bar was very cool. And the neighbourhood is great. Heaps of cafes and bars and a nice stroll to the beach.
Ordering a taxi was annoying. Storage if you’re staying a long time was tight. But we just asked for extra hangers. Nothing major though.

The hotel is stylish and clearly positioned as an upscale property, great pool terrace and view of the Sagrada Família with thoughtful details throughout. Its modern design, including real flooring instead of carpet, creates a clean and refined atmosphere. Music in the room added a welcoming touch. Bathroom amenities were high quality, featuring generously sized bottles of soap, lotion, conditioner, and shampoo. The towels were of good quality, and the beds were comfortable with well-appointed pillows. The staff were friendly and approachable.
The hotel is stylish and clearly positioned as a higher-end property, but the overall experience lacked the level of thoughtfulness you would expect at this price point. Parking was unnecessarily confusing. There are two lots beneath the hotel, yet no one at check-in mentioned that one is a paid public lot. This resulted in an avoidable extra charge that could have easily been prevented with clearer communication during reservation booking and check-in. All entrances except the main door were locked. In 100°F heat, having to walk all the way around the building with luggage and children felt unreasonable and poorly considered. It’s hard to understand the rationale behind limiting access in this way. The most disruptive issue was the construction directly in front of the hotel. Loud hammering began around 7:30 am and continued throughout, making it difficult to rest or enjoy the room. There was no prior warning, no acknowledgment at check-in, and no effort to mitigate the impact, such as offering earplugs. Additionally, despite booking for four guests, the room was not properly prepared. The sofa bed was not made, and there were not enough towels, requiring us to follow up with housekeeping after arrival. Overall, while the hotel looks polished, the lack of attention to guest experience and basic communication made the stay feel below expectations for the price.
