    The hotel is super central and in a beautiful old building where the rooms have been sensitively converted, and my room was so comfortable it was a wrench to leave each day.

    From the first warm welcome from the staff as i arrived - this was just a peek at how helpful and professional they were throughout my stay. One of the most friendly hotels I have ever stayed in.

    Because the hotel was close to everything this brought a lot of noise through the night. This certainly my wasn’t the staff’s fault and they did provide ear plugs and white noise machine

    Staff were amazing. Very helpful. Great location close to everything.

    I put the do not disturb button on but at 09:15 housekeeping were tapping away at my door. Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish she was waving a room key but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Aside from that, no complaints. Loved it, wouldn’t hesitate for a return visit.

    The location was fabulous, the hotel was stunning, I don’t think the marketing photos I saw do it justice. Beautiful high ceilings, very clean and stylish. Lots of great attention to detail, e.g. personalised welcome note, chocolates and a helpful card to help you out with the lighting which was tricky to get right. Comfy bed, great view of Plaça Reial. I stayed on a Saturday night and could hear the lively goings on of the square with its restaurants and clubs which I didn’t mind at all. On Sunday morning I woke up to a very different view of the same, now subdued square, a quaint little market setting-up and unfolding. Reception staff were very pleasant.

    The electrical in the room was strange and the wifi did not work various moments. Even though you feel safe, the homeless people sleeping/ staying near the entrance of the hotel is not pleasant.

    Location was great. Staff was friendly and helpful providing tips and helping with arrangements.

    Unfortunately our room phone was not working, nor the safe. Mentioned this twice, but during our 4 day stay neither were fixed.

    Staff were excellent, friendly and extremely helpful. We had a great terrace with plunge pool,, sun loungers and a seating area. just a bit cold in February to make use of it. Just off the Ramblas in a square full of restaurants and of course a 1min walk into the Ramblas. Breakfast was self service, nicely set out . You were able to order eggs and bacon, plenty of croissant, bread, cheeses, ham etc.,

    We could not access the rooftop bar for the entire stay. The restaurant outside, part of the property has good food - unfortunately not the same for the service.

    Wonderful service in the hotel and concierge - did not have the same experience at the restaurant- Every detail is super cured and the staff is available for any request.

    It was noisy at about 6am. This noise was from outside. I assume some clubs may have finished up at this time. They do provide ear plugs but they don’t block it out.

    It was very well located, stylish, very clean and with a lovely breakfast.

    Bar tenders were below average in drink quality It is noisy on the plaza but earplugs solve that problem (included in the room).

    Friendly, helpful with directions, wonderful included breakfast, great location to get to metro to go anywhere, very comfortable room and up to date bathroom.

    Be warned the square is busy until the wee small hours, if you can't sleep through the noise this might be a deal breaker for you, but I loved it. The pool on the roof is also more of a bird bath, you won't be spending your days up there.

    Stayed here in September 2023. Fantastic location, and fantastic staff. Barcelona is a beautiful city and this is a great spot to explore it from. Very clean hotel and vibrant area of city.

    The hotel lobby is very small with the bar area, & very warm with little or no air conditioning judt s large fan to keep you cool. The rooms & bathrooms are tired & need to be refitted. The pool is really just a foot bath for the pigeons and very unwelcoming, as is the roof top bar, very poor,not a place you would want to sit, poor facilities & not pleasant.

    Location was great in the middle of lots of action, breakfast choice was reasonable,better if you were not a resident!! Hotel is a bit tired it needs a bit of a revamp, expected more of a five star hotel.The outside terrace is its saving grace,nice place to sit and have drinks & watch the world go by,although for the 5 days we are there they did not have tonic!!

    We felt that some of the facilities were a little bare minimum given the 5* status of the hotel. Only two coffee pods were provided each day. The rooftop pool was a nice touch but didn't look very clean due to the pigeons - although this would be hard to prevent! The bar drinks were lovely but very expensive compared to the surrounding options. We paid 35 euros for a double G&T and Whiskey which seems extortionate! Overall this didn't spoil the experience though!

    The staff were absolutely amazing, super helpful and very accomodating. Special thanks to Henry & Beatrice who were extremely professional, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Hotel was in a brilliant location with good metro links to visit the rest of the city. The hotel was clean and comfortable, the food we had for breakfast was very nice.
