We (two couples) stayed a week in May 2012 in two double rooms on the top floor. The lobby & rooms are newly renovated and have an excellent modern vibe. The location was unbeatable; a block off Pg Gracia where we enjoyed daily walks "home" past the gorgeously stunning Casa Batllo. Convenient for walking to La Ramblas, Gothic District, and... More

Rooms are nicely decorated and well laid out, but a little small. The bathroom was clean and up to date. Hotel was having multiple problems with the elevators while we were there which wasn't very comforting. Location is really good. Walking distance to most areas and near lots of restaurants. Hotel bar was excellent. Made a great Cosmo and Manhattan... More

This hotel is a hidden gem. On a quiet street, but still close to most major attractions it offers clean, modern looking rooms and friendly service. The rooms are small, but this is Europe and to be expected. They look recently renovated, with new LG flat sceen TVs. WiFi is expensive, but there are two computers in the lobby that... More

Although I made a reservation one week in advance, I was given a room for disabled guests because the hotel was fully booked and no other rooms were available. I thought that a room for disabled guests should always be kept by the hotel, being fully booked or not. My room (401) had a table only with one plug, so... More

My husband and I stayed here after a cruise, and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was easy to get to by taxi, and was very centrally located to the ramblas and other shopping areas, cafes, sights etc. Free Wifi in the lobby, and they have a bartender there in the evenings, with lots of seating for a drink or...

Perfect location, just behind the main drag, we took the metro from the airport (10EUR for 10 trips) and then transfer lines to Paseig de Gracia. As soon as we came out of the Metro-Renfe, we saw Gaudi’s famous casa Batllo and the beautiful casa Amatller. The hotel is being renovated but there was no noise or disturbance. The mini-bar... More

Nice big clean rooms. Only problem was we were a couple and the king sized bed was made by pushing two doubles together. Huge bathroom, wood floors, nice big windows. A nice room to come back to after a long day exploring barcelona. A bit of a walk to old city and Las Ramblas, but this was perfect for us.... More
