We are just back from a 3 night stay at this hotel and can highly recommend it. This was our first visit to Barcelona and were delighted with the location, close to all the major sights with great shopping on the doorstep. The reception is small but very smart and the staff very polite and welcoming. We stayed in room 501 which had a large split level private terrace with great views across Passeig de Gracia (did have double glazed doors that shut out any street noise so was also very peaceful). The room itself was simply decorated with huge, very comfy bed, flat screen tv and quite nice bathroom. I would have given this 5 stars and they are obviously trying really hard but there were a few shabby edges that let it down when you looked closely, such as wardrobe doors that kept jamming, towel rail/glass shelving unit that hung precariously so you kept thinking it was going to collapse every time you grabbed a towel and a bit of a mad paint job in the bathroom - looks like they have painted over nice slate tiles with jet black paint and perhaps the only important thing - a not very good shower. Having said that, we would go back and even ask for he same room. We booked direct on the hotel's website and got a great rate (500 euros in total). This included a free mini bar every day of water, juices, sodas, a couple of beers and some chocolate plus buffet breakfast which was very nice. The Ask Me concierge service was wonderful - really knowlegable staff with honest recommendations for sightseeing and eating out. All in all great value and location and nice enough room - the terrace won us over!! Also highly recommend a close-by tapas restaurant Cerveceria Catalana on Calle de Mallorca - we had some good food in Barcelona but this was the tastiest!
