Just got back from Barcelona and found the hotel to be everything the
other views have stated. The hotel was very clean and comfy. The bedroom was the same and the king-size bed was fantastic. Air conditioning was a great relief and the black out curtains were a real plus. At 10am it felt like midnight..only the traffic noise from the single glazed windows gave away the time.Bathrooms again were good but a little dated.

The breakfast was good with plenty of choice but the hot dishes were barely luke warm. The staff were reasonably friendly but you have to accept that that you are in Catalunya and most people in Barcelona are ignorant and not hospitable. Service in most restaurants and bars
I found to be poor with a couldn't care less attitude..compared to the more Southern parts of Spain. If you try speaking a little Spanish they ignore you...just stick to English as they understand every word you say. Use the tour buses..19 euros for 1 day or 23 euros for 2 days gives excellent value. Just beware that you will ripped off in the bars at Port Olympico....11 euros for 2 bottles of lager is a scandle!!

The hotel is a fair way from the main drag of Passeig de Gracia but there is still a lot of decent bars/restaurants in the area...well worth the £90 per night..!!

The location is great - a short walk to the Barri Gotic and Passage de Gracia with plenty of opportunities to stop off for coffee (or beer/wine) on the way. The room that we had was very small. Well more narrow than small, and had absolutely no view (i.e. coundn't see sky). Our travelling companion had a larger room with a really good view, so there you go! This didn't really bother us, as we only had three nights in the city so not much time was spent in the room. Overall the hotel is clean and the staff friendly. Would go again.

My husband and I were on a 14 day Mediterranean cruise that ended in Barcelona and we were staying here for 2 extra days. We now wish we would have added a few more days, because as we found out 2 days was not enough. We were a little
concerned when we started to drive to the hotel area that we were staying too far away from everything.. but there was a lot to do EVERYWHERE! We did have a bit of a walk to the main "strip" area but it was enjoyable to walk and look at all the buildings, people and everything going on there. If you did not want to walk you could easily take many means of transportation like get an all day bus pass, get a taxi or just hop on a bus. It was just a short walk to the main street to catch one.

The hotel was very clean, staff very friendly.. the room size that we had was great, very large. The bathroom was also nice and big. With coming off of a boat for 2 weeks we had a lot of suitcases and it was nice to be able to put them somewhere and not be tripping over them for the 2 days we were in the room. We had a back room so we had no view, I think its kind of hard
to have a nice view in Barcelona since its nothing but buildings all over the place one on top of another (unless you ask for something facing the front street) It was very quiet, we heard no noise at all from inside or outside. Beds seemed comfortable.. Funny thing to us was we had no idea on how to turn the lights and the air on. First time we were at a place that you had to
put your room card in a slot to make the lights work!!! We thought the power was out to the room when we first walked in.. he he

But best of all I have to say the FREE breakfast was amazing. They had such a assortment of things out it was more like a lunch buffet!! If you ate a nice size breakfast you did not have to eat lunch till late. All kinds of juices, pastries, breads and then your eggs along with ham, bacon and more.. It was worth it just for the breakfast! Our travel agent may have told us that breakfast
was included but we forgot:) So it was a nice surprise when my husband went downstairs to get me juice and found that out.. So maybe you can just get the room with out breakfast included?? Not sure on that, you might want to check at time of booking if breakfast is included for sure, trust me again its worth it.

Only took pictures of the outside... did want to take bathroom pictures since it was so impressive.. Oh yes and they do give you a basket full of things left in your bathroom; luffah sponge, nail file, soap, shampoo, conditioner, comb, tooth brush, toothpaste, shoe shine kit and that type of stuff. I took the luffa and packed
it in my suitcase the first day to give to someone at home as a joke (actually a nice size one) and the next day there was another one there!! NICE!!!

I would recommend this and stay there again.

Our stay in the hotel was fantastic and could not be faulted. The staff were extremely friendly and helped wherever possible. Although the hotel was quite full, our room was quiet and we managed to have a lay in or two after some late nights without that noise you usually get in busy hotels. This is mainly due to the good layout of the rooms. The A/C in the room was great. It is very quite and works extremely well, not like some of the noisy malfunctioning ones you get in some hotels! It would have been nice to have a pool, but we were never really there so much during the day, so we would not have used it anyway.

It is close to Diagonal Metro stop. We took the train from the airport to the hotel without a problem (a few stairs to deal with on the Metro though). The location of the hotel is also in a very good and in a safe part of town with lots of shops and places to eat down PG de Gracia and further up Av Diagonal. A lot of the Gaudi Modernist buildings are also nearby. Although not close to the Rabalas, I would rather stay in this location where it is safer and quieter.

Breakfast at the hotel was awesome and saw us through the day until a late afternoon snack. 10/10! I would definitely recommend this hotel and go back there should I visit Barcelona again.
