My wife and I recently stayed in this hotel over the holiday season. I think the hotel had recently been renovated. The rooms were reasonably sized by European standards with a separate bathroom. Overall the room and bathroom were clean and the room was made up every day. Fresh towels were provided each day but the bath was never cleaned. Plenty of hot water and a very good shower in the bath. No real complaints here. The staff were very friendly and cooperative and most spoke good English. Probably the highlight was the breakfast service, which was outstanding with a huge variety of hot and cold breakfast items offered. However, don't eat dinner at the restaurant. The menu it very limited and the food isn't very good. The hotel isn't really situated very close to most of the tourist places, e.g., La Ramble, La Familia, or the beaches, but the metro system is great and close to the hotel (station Clot) and taxis are cheap and numerous. Overall, this probably isn't truly a four-star hotel but quite adaquate and clean.

I booked a room for 8 nights on recommendation of an event organiser for a forum I was attending in Barcelona.
The first room I had was a cubicle and that was quickly changed to a decent sized double-room when I remonstrated.

It is close to Clot metro and that makes it easy to get around town, it has a room-top view on the 11th floor with a swimming pool, though it was too cold to use.

The housekeeping was bad, at one time the housekeeper literally went in from of me at 19:30 to clean a room I had vacated since 7:30 in the morning.

The Do Not Disturb sign seem to mean nothing to the staff, twice my room was walked into and twice also, someone had remove the signs from all our doors on a Sunday morning.

If you are not in a group, think of using restaurants in town rather than the hotel. As business traveller, this hotel is more 2* than 4*.

I would definitely not return to this hotel or any in the hotel group - it was definitely not home away from home.

Stayed here for 4 days over Easter 2007 (myself, husband & 12 year old son). Rooms functional rather than overly comfortable, but staff friendly & helpful, breakfast plentiful and great location for exploring. Opposite metro station (Clot) and couple of minutes walk to mainline station (El Clot Arago) - we took the train back to the airport which was much more fun (and loads cheaper) than a taxi! Once we had purchased a metro "travelcard" there was no stopping us, and it was quite good to get away from the centre after a busy day/evening out. Also walkable to Sagrada Familia and we walked back from Arc de Triomf once. Hotel was busy because of Easter (bit chaotic couple of mornings at breakfast) but relatively quiet the rest of the time. Only problem was the weather which was appalling! Suggest you take jeans and jumpers even in April! Would definitely recommend if you want to save some money on city centre hotels, and yes would stay there again.

me and my boyfriend stayed here in march 2007, it was ok but wouldnt stay again,full of noisy students,our room was tiny although we were moved to another room the next day after complaining,staff were very nice, but this is definetely not a 4 star hotel, breakfast was good, dinner was not, i wouldnt recomend this, definetely not.
