We stayed for 3 nights in April 08. The room was small but well thought out in terms of storage. Very modern interior. We also had a small balcony which provided a little extra to the room. The "mood" lighting was extremely difficult to manage though! I am still not sure how it is supposed to work! ONly problem I had was that upon checkout I was charged local tax on top of the price I had paid through Late Rooms which was supposed to be included. To date I have still not had a response from either Late rooms or the Hotel whom I have contacted several times to repay this money (£35). Despite this it was a pleasant hotel in a good location for most places.

Good location in Eixample, clean rooms but very small even by European standards. CNN and BBC only English Channels. Staff friendly but not very knowledgable about the local area. When we asked for a gym nearby they advised they had "Passes" for a Health Club, 5 minutes walk. When I asked if their were any other "gyms" in the area they said no. So we got a "Pass" each day although the Health Club was not what we really wanted. On our last day we found a "gym" 10mins walk which was part of a very large Spainish chain. When we checked out the bill included Euro 10. for every "Pass" to the Health Club, we had assumed the Passes were free as at no time were we told we would be charged. The charges were eventually credited after we complained. The "Rooftop Pool" is a lap pool with two sunbeds. The glass bathroom door is two thirds frosted the rest clear, and does not "seal", not very effective in insulating noises or odours. Although the stay was OK, I would look to stay somewhere else next time.

The room was small, but very modern and clean. The location was great...walking distance to many great restaurants and to all of the sites.

The website is certainly better than the hotel. This really is a very standard hotel with a a thin veneer of "boutique" applied to it. The rooms were tiny for the money (€194 per night). The concept of having lighting so low throughout the hotel that you can't read anything, is not really what constitutes a boutique hotel. The TV system repeatedly didn't work and I had to get front desk to reboot it a few times and when I woke in the morning for a shower, I found that the whole hotel had no running water. This took a good forty minutes to get fixed and meant I was late for the meeting I was there for. I certainly wouldn't stay there again. At that price, there are far better in BCN. Style over substance!
