Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite good, with an extra bed for the child making it spacious and clean, although slightly dated. The service was nice and friendly. The location is convenient, close to many attractions and with useful facilities. The dining experience was mixed with good options but also room for improvement.
The hotel offers a free upgrade into a junior suite, which was a nice surprise. However, the room overlooked the interior backyard, which wasn't very exciting. It was a bit noisy at times, affecting our overall relaxation. The service was kind and helpful at the reception, with a nice touch of the staff wearing hats. The location is superb, close to La Rambla and public transportation, great for sightseeing and dining. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide-ranging buffet and high-quality coffee service. The facilities were well-kept, especially the dining area. Pricing was reasonable considering the overall experience.
The hotel has a spacious room with direct access to the rooftop bar and pool, but it lacks air conditioning. The location is perfect for exploring major attractions, but the dining options are limited and expensive.
The hotel has magnificent rooms with a fantastic spread of food and friendly staff, but sometimes you can feel and hear a subway under your bed. Between kids screaming on their way up to the pool and the constant banging of the pool door, the experience can be a bit disrupted. The rooms are a bit dated.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and spacious, but the twin beds pushed together instead of a queen size bed could be improved. The service was friendly and helpful, with a mix of old-style charm. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and convenient for transportation. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a good variety but lacking options for specific dietary needs. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms turned out to be quite unattractive, with a large balcony offering sun beds, a coffee table, and an extendable blind when it got too sunny; however, the dining experience was extremely disappointing. The service was accommodating to small details, and the location was fantastic, making it a favorite spot for my stay in Barcelona.
This hotel is a gem in the heart of Barcelona, offering a comfortable stay in a fantastic location with top-notch service. While there may be some limitations in dining options, the overall experience is delightful, and the value for money is exceptional.
The rooms provide ample space with a separate sitting room, bedroom, and en-suite bathroom, although the smell of cigarettes may bother non-smokers. Sleeping with the window open could lead to noise disturbances.
The hotel has a convenient location near the center of Barcelona, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms have an outdated style with some maintenance issues, but the modern bathrooms offer a mix of positives and negatives. The service provided was a mixed bag, with some misleading information received. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with limited options for vegetarians. The rooftop pool and views were highlights of the location. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel offers decent value for the price.
The hotel is located on the Main Street in a quadrangle within the city, offering a convenient setting for the price point. The rooms could benefit from some refurnishing. The service is exceptional with a great staff that is friendly and helpful, making the stay pleasant. The location is excellent, easily accessible by the Aerobus from the airport and near major attractions. The dining experience is satisfactory but basic. Overall, a decent choice for a stay.
The hotel's rooms are very outdated, with a problem in one of the window frames being stuck from fabrication, emitting a strong smell of raw sewage and lacking the option of having the beds apart. However, the service was exceptional, immediately upgrading me to a new room with a smile and offering city maps upon arrival. The location is outstanding, being great for access to key sights in the city and having wonderful views of the city. The dining experience was perfect for those wanting an omelet, and the breakfast offered good value for money.
The hotel was a nice stay with comfortable rooms and friendly, helpful service. The location was excellent, with easy access to major attractions, but the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel was delightful overall. The room was spacious and lovely with a comfortable bed and a nice view. The location was great within walking distance to La Rambla, the old area, the harbor, and beaches. However, the ongoing construction outside the front site of the hotel was a bit inconvenient.
The hotel offers very good rooms with old but very clean decor and an excellent bathroom. However, the soundproofing is not the best, as you can hear and feel the metro underground directly beneath the hotel.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic with clean, comfortable rooms and super friendly staff. The location is perfect, although the dining experience could be a bit better. Overall, it's great value for money.
