If you get a good proce for the room, get it, but ask for a room on a higher floor. We stayed below street level for 7 nights, we couldn't open the windows because you could see people passing by, glass was frosted so light was only artificial, hard to wake up in the morning! You can also feel vibrations... more

We stayed here in probably the hottest month of the summer and it was so great to come back from our daily travels to this clean, modern hip hotel.

The location, near the paseo de gracia metro, restaurants and shopping was convenient. The hotel also... more

The hotel was good value for money but was a 20 minute walk to the main Ramblas area. The rooms we occupied (3) all looked straight out onto a brick wall! The rooms them selves were well appointed and were of duplex style and modern. The pool area was 95% shaded due to its location therefore the pool was very... more
