Stayed here in May. Great hotel, as per other reports the location is a bit out of Barcelona, but if you get a T10 ticket you can access the bus 111 which drop you outside the funicular this take you straight onto the metro and into Barcelona. The whole trip is 40 mins! And for 9. 80 euros! For 10... More

Combined a stunning location with a stylish and artistic renovation of 1920s architecture, very comfortable and spacious accommodation with attentive and friendly service. Divine food and drinks which ranged in price from mid to high, but offered quality and value every time. Price included a spectacular breakfast and relaxing and attractive spa. Having something of a horror of amusement parks... More

Had read many of the reviews before booking and given the overall consensus went ahead and booked. Definitely a good choice, for us, having been to Barcelona and stayed in town once before. The only significant 'negative' points from the bulk of reviews for this hotel have been the cost / atmosphere in the restaurant and the distance from town.... More

Where to start. They started to lie to us saying there was no possibility to give us a room upgrade (lhw members)because there were fully booked. In the room they gave us were 2 letters, one for us offering a bottle of wine ( who was not there) and the other offering a massage to a lady named X. The... More

We always wanted to stay and finally got the chance. Great hotel design and in the mountains over looking BCN. It feels like you are staying in a holiday home instead of a hotel!

the location of the hotel is fabulous for those looking for a getaway from the city, and the views are amazing. Our room was also pleasant enough although didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the hotel's website. What really let the hotel down for me was the miserable interior design of the shared areas, including the lobby... More

We had a wonderful time. The hotel staff were brilliant and really looked after us. If I had to be picky the restaurant was a little bit over priced. The views are amazing from the hotel which is situated high up on a hill over looking Barcelona. It was great to come back and relax after a busy day. Xx
