Amazing location. This was the perfect hotel for our home base on our trip to Barcelona. Very walkable, infinite dining and shopping options around. Very easy for bus or taxi transportation in front of the hotel. Our family will stay here again on our next visit to Barcelona.

I doubt if there is a better buffet breakfast in Barcelona. It was absolutely superb! The hotel itself is ideally located between the Marina and the Gothic quarter. There are bus / tube links nearby that serve the rest of the city. I found the staff to be extremely friendly and helpful with any enquiry I might have. Highly recommended!

This hotel was the perfect location! Overlooking the marina providing beautiful water views while in walking distance to las ramblas, Cathedral, market, shopping and everything the gothic quarter has to offer! The staff were even better—every person provided and friendly and warm welcome from the front desk receptionists, so the rooftop waitstaff helping me practice me Spanish, and my favorite staff member, Rubin, who was the bellman. He helped me with my luggage and taxis, but more importantly he was so friendly and kind and truly went above and beyond—even remembered my name each time I walked through the lobby. Highly recommend to stay here!

We really liked this hotel. Very friendly staff the concierge was really on top of things. The location was just about perfect. Right down by the water, and right behind us was the Gothic section of Barcelona. Surrounded by great restaurants with tremendous choices of food. The hotel rooms were typically European, rather tiny, but very well designed and kept immaculately clean. If we were back in Barcelona, we come back here in the New York minute.

“Stark” is the word that comes to mind. There was one person at the check-in desk. There were no Bellman or anyone to help with our luggage. No one to meet us from the taxi. The bar was not tended. The room was very large with tiled floors and seemed very clean. The bathroom was very nice with a great shower and an incredible soaking tub. The sink area was large. The bed was a mattress on what seemed to be a wire frame underneath. The duvet was not in a cover. Just a quilted white comforter. I was not sure if it had been laundered and so I turned it so that the top sheet covering the duvet was actually next to my skin. It served for a one night stay, but I would not want to be there more than an overnight, I was looking for a luxury five star, and this is not what I expect.

We stayed at the hotel 3 days and 4 nights from the US. It was set right in the gothic quarter, which made exploring really easy. Walking distance to La Rambla and the pier/beach. We had noisy nights because we were on the first floor. Wont do that next time. The design of the toilet right next to the shower had our toilet paper wet or falling on the floor always. Poor design. Other than that, a nice stay. Front desk staff really wonderful. We added breakfast, which was nice each day. Gym was small but got the job done. Rooftop bar had a nice view, and the pool is a nice touch if you have kids.

Very friendly staff, I was gifted a voucher for Cava upon arrival. The pool and rooftop area are very nice. Room was clean and well maintained daily - only issue I had was the shower in the main bathtub didn't really fit in the holder so you couldn't use it unless you wanted to hold the shower the whole time. However, there was a separate standalone shower in the bathroom too so, not a real problem. Wifi worked well so good for business guests. Overall I would definitely recommend and would stay again.

We stayed for six nights, and unfortunately, our experience was disappointing.
The air conditioning in our room was broken for the first three nights, which was uncomfortable, especially in the heat. On the fourth night, things got even worse, several of our valuable items were stolen from our room. This included my husband’s expensive watch, which he had hidden in his suitcase, a designer purse and wallet, and a brand new pair of designer sunglasses.
We later found out that multiple staff members had been in our room that day to check the air conditioning. Had we been informed about this in advance, we absolutely would have taken extra precautions.
When we reported the theft, we were told that the hotel trusts their staff,which may be true, but that didn’t change the fact that our belongings were gone. We had let our guard down, thinking we were staying in a safe, reputable hotel.
What really added to our frustration was how the situation was handled. It felt like the staff were more concerned with keeping the incident quiet than actually helping us or taking responsibility. There was no real apology or sense of accountability for the fact that so many people had been in our room without our knowledge.
One of the managers told me to go out and enjoy the day and that “it’s only stuff, a few weeks you’ll forget about it.” That response was incredibly dismissive and left us feeling unsupported.
They did offer us a free dinner, which we appreciated, but it didn’t come close to m

The location of the hotel is super unique, however, it shouldn't be considered a 4 star hotel. The room wasn't clean, the furniture and bed mattress are very outdated and uncomfortable, the staff isn't the friendliest and the front desk rarely picks up phone calls from the room.

The breakfast and dining area on the main level was beautiful with wonderful selections. Loved the self-service coffee! Food on the rooftop restaurant could be a little better. My chicken caesar salad lacked flavor and interest. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. Our friends' room had some plumbing issues. There is a missing stair in the stairwell at about the third stair from the lobby, which is dark, that seems dangerous. Overall, however, we loved the hotel and would happily return.

Ideally placed on the Gothic Quarter. Lots of lovely restaurants within easy walking distance. Rooftop terrace was a bonus.

The room was very clean and had everything we needed for the four nights we stayed. My only criticism would be that the wardrobe was too 'short' so hanging space for dresses was limited. We had to hang items on the outside of the wardrobe. A hook inside the shower, for your towel, would also be helpful.
