I'm not sure why it took me so long to write this review - My friend and I stayed at Hotel Cram in September last year for a three night city break and had an absolute ball.

As creative professionals, we fancy ourselves quite picky about where we stay, and only booked the Cram because we got a fantastic deal on Tablet Hotels (it had only just opened). When we got there we were delighted - The glass entrance leads into the lobby where every surface seems to be shiny and brilliant. The bar is something else - a myriad of textures and shapes, not to mention the FABULOUS mojitos!

The tantalising of the senses continues into the bedrooms. Ok, they aren't huge, but we found our room more than adquate for our needs. The bathroom was excellent, the shower ran the full length of the wall and there were plenty of lighting options meaning optimum make-up appliance. The only downside I would mention was that the bathroom door is see-through (ok, frosted but you can see everything that's going on) and without a lock. And the loo is beside it. We found it quite funny but I don't think I'd feel the same if my boyfriend had been there and not my best friend!

A highlight was the roof terrace where we enjoyed a midnight swim on our last night and wished we'd thought of it sooner. Although at the time we stayed there the decking was not completely finished, and there were several workmen during the day who's oggling cost the Cram it's full 5 points.

I would love to go back again to experience the Cram in all it's completed glory, if only to see The Most Beautiful Man In The World TM again at reception.

Just returned from a four night stay at the Cram. Location is not great - 3 blocks from nearest metro - 5 blocks from the Passeig de Gracia. The service is very efficient, meaning brusque. The bed was a futon mattress on a homemade platform, and the room would be considered a closet at most "4-star" hotels. As this was my first stay in Barcelona, I do not have a frame of reference for other supposed "4-star" hotels in town, however in comparison to other boutiques that I have stayed in around the world, this would qualify as boutique cliche in every way. Basically nothing unique stood out about this hotel.

Hotel Cram was in a marvelous location and was a lot of fun! The staff was very attentive and extremely helpful and I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

This hotel - will not refund a dime if booked through Tablet. Please note is not Tablet that charges you but in fact the Hotel.

I am unable to travel to Spain b/c the Spanish Embassy here in the US can not give my Cuban friend a Visa appointment for over 3 mos.

When I spoke to Silvia at Hotel Cram she informed me that they will not refund my room. (they will sell it though to someone else since they know I canceled the reservation)

The entire rate will be charged to me 1 month from now. Plenty of time to sell the room.

They will not refund me any money.

We are talking hundreds of Euros!

Do not stay here! They are not reasonable or honest people.
