The hotel was super clean and location was excellent. BUT this review is for the staff. I had the most wonderful experience with the amazing staff at the front desk. First, a blonde lady (sorry I forgot her name) greeted us when we arrived way before check in time and was incredibly nice, sweet and helpful. Then, when we came back at 3 for check-in there was a second lady that was very nice as well.
I went down to the lobby at around 11:45 pm or later to make a phone call and the young man that was at the desk approached me with a glass of water without me asking.

I am very impressed with the staff

Hotel room was OK. Room comfortable and quiet. No bar or lounge. But the big omission was NO KETTLE in the room . In 2015? Might have been OK in 1950, but not in this decade. Had to get up to all kinds of subterfuges to get hot water so we could make some tea. Christer in reception is a bit of a star - helpful and interested.

This was our third time staying at this hotel, which we chose due to its good location (just a short walk to a metro station, train station that connects to the airport, and a tram stop that served the Forum venue for the Primavera festival).

The rooms are a decent size, with a nice bathroom including a big bath and a bidet, while the bed is large and comfortable. The pool on the roof is lovely and rarely crowded, and the view is nice as you can see Torre Glories and the Sagrada Familia.

There is a nice sandwich and pizza place a few doors down called The Catalan Sandwich, and there are a number of small convenience stores and restaurants in the surrounding area.

The only drawbacks were very very minor (we struggled to work our TV remote, the bath plug seemed to leak water, and the maids could be quite noisy if you were sleeping in) but these were not big problems and did not affect our stay.

The hotel was quiet and clean. Not many people stated, the pool is much smaller than what their pictures show. The water temperature and pressure was great in the showers. The bed was comfortable.
The one thing that I would have to say is that I found it more expensive than what it should’ve been in my opinion. I think they should charge a little less given the amenities and location they offer.

Another thing to keep in mind. Is that for some reason Most taxi cabs bring you to the hotel slightly down the block rather than in front of this one. Must be something with the GPS setting, I don’t know.

The photos made this hotel look much nicer than it was in person – in reality, it was not very well maintained. The staff were friendly and the room was mostly clean and comfortable over our four night stay, but for the price, it just wasn't as nice as expected (maybe everywhere in Barcelona is expensive?). If I return to Barcelona, I will likely seek out a different hotel.

The staff were friendly but not overly helpful, though they did get us in early so that was a bonus after a long day of flying…. The rooms were clean but the bathrooms have a frosted glass door with see threw letters on it and the shower was only half enclosed by a glass that moves so fair bit got wet when we showered. Location is good walkable to the church and little cafes and shopping strips. Only main complaint is we faced the front of the hotel and it was soooooo loud at night by the people drunk walking outside, not the hotels fault but made it hard to sleep, we couldn’t get the ac working and had the window opened and assumed it was due to that but even the other half of our party had the same issue with the window closed. The breakfast was set out very nicely but for the price we were able to find something of site more suitable to our needs. The pool is very little but the views up on the room were lovely.

This hotel is mediocre at best. Please beware that the hotel is very run down and doesn’t in my opinion match the pictures on Expedia. For instance, some rooms in this hotel are updated and are what are advertised in the pictures, however we didn’t get the renovated room. Instead, our room was outdated and smelled musty and strongly of mold. There’s no fan in the bathroom so when you take a shower the bathroom fills with steam, thus the mold issue. I really wouldn’t recommend or stay here again unless this issue of mold in the room is dealt with promptly as both parties staying in the hotel became ill and exhibited common mold exposure symptoms. This is most definitely a health hazard in my opinion. Additionally, the sound proofing is non-existent so rooms are very loud all day and throughout the night. You can hear your neighbors on all sides and outside noise as well. Saying all this, I also want to highlight that the staff were EXCELLENT and very attentive and helpful during our stay. If it weren’t for the amazing staff we likely would have left due to the strong mold issues.

A Perfect Location and Great Service

The hotel is perfectly located less than a block away from a Metro station, that, via transfers, can take you almost anywhere in Barcelona extremely easily and cheap. (The subway system is very easy to use and figure out, even if you dont speak the language).
Walking from the hotel, you can get to the Sagrada Familia in less than 20 minutes, and Park Guell in about 40 (although it's a fairly uphill walk). You can get to the city center in about 40 minutes if you decide to walk.
Check out is at noon, but the hotel will safely hold on to your luggage for you after noon. This was a great service and allowed us to visit 3 more sights in the city before we left at sunset.
The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful.

Non smoking room - clearly hosted smokers

I specifically requested a non smoking room via my booking - however even if the room was 'non smoking' it smelled awful of cigarette smoke. Unfortunately as the hotel was completely booked, it was not possible to change rooms. They should have caught this from the cleaning staff - and noted this room needed to be deep cleaned. Other than that, the hotel is good and I would still recommend the hotel if they look into the requests and standard of the rooms better next time.
