This is an absolutely wonderful hotel; delightful and friendly service, beautiful rooms with sauna/ steam/ jacuzzi on the 7th floor and fantastic roof terrace. We come to Barca a lot and ALWAYS stay here! Within walking distance or short tube ride of everything; I never need to use public transport when I am in Barca it is the best city... more

Great hotel, on a great location with very friendly staff.

Third visit to Barcelona but first time I stayed in that part of town. Everything is walking distance. Loved the staff, rooms were modern and clean, be it sparsely furnished but that's fine with me.
