This was the nicest hotel we have ever stayed at. We had a terrace room which was incredible and the terrace was massive. The spa was beautiful and the breakfast was yummy. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
This is one of the finest hotels we have stayed at. We stayed in a terrace room, it was amazing and so nice to be able to relax in our own private space. Will definitely stay here again when we go to Barcelona again.
I stayed here for 3 days and this hotel is amazing. It has everything, excellent breakfast, excellent location and staff is very helpful. Rooms are spotless. I definitely recommend this hotel in Barcelona

This Is a very Good hotel , Just the smell when you Walk in is espectacular .location is the best
Must visit
Breakfast was great. Staff amazing. Absolutely love the spa. Loved the room with the beautiful terrace. I would have preferred a larger gym, there were 3 people in the gym and it was packed. Nevertheless, I’ll be staying there again. Centrally located:
Been here for the 3rd time and will be back again the next time!! Such a nice hotel with great staff, spacious rooms, gorgeous roof top and excellent wellness area!
This is a lovely hotel with great common spaces, live music and snacks! There is a wonderful spa as well - just make a reservation - it fills up and they limit capacity. Our room was comfortable, well appointed and the complimentary bottle of water each day was useful.

Lovely staff and a fantastic location. Couldn’t fault the room. It was a birthday and they were very kind.
Excellent experience. We were able to check-in at 9:00 a.m., given a room upgrade and the room was available. Room was large by European Standards and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast offered so many choices. Location very convenient.
Perfect location for access to La Rambla, the Gothic quarter and central Barcelona. Hotel smelt wonderful every time we stepped inside and was great to be welcomed with bottled water at check-in. Staff were friendly and we were able to check our bags in early, so we could start sightseeing straight away. Clean room, large bathroom/shower & a very comfortable bed. We were so close to local restaurants & cafes we didn't try the breakfast. There was a vegetarian place, 'Honest Greens', right on the corner which was a great place to start the day. The reception area was full of comfortable seating and there was a well-stocked bar for after dinner drinks.
This hotel saved my trip. Getting off my cruise going around Europe would have been hard and expensive with all my luggage. I inquired about since this was my last stop if we could leave some luggage to be stored until we returned. The answered yes without any issues. On our return rhe hotel was absolutely beautiful. So rich in color and decor. The staff was extremely pleasant. The food at breakfast was perfect. We ate dinner and it was very good. The location was the perfect spot.
