Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and a great deal for being so close to central Barcelona, but mine was a bit lacking in natural light and felt stuffy due to the internal air shaft. The service was top-notch, with incredibly helpful staff who even let us store our luggage after check-out. The location couldn't have been better, surrounded by cozy tapas bars and within walking distance of key city spots. Dining was a hit and miss with nice food but a noisy dining area near the lift. Overall, a good value stay with some minor inconveniences.

The hotel is located in a great neighborhood near all the important historical sites, offering a convenient base for exploring Barcelona. The rooms are a decent size, equipped with air conditioning and boast good-sized bathrooms with great showers; however, they lack soundproofing and thick curtains. The two small balconies provide a nice touch. The service was impressive, with attentive staff making my stay comfortable and accommodating my room change requests efficiently. The location is perfect, close to many bars and restaurants, with easy access to the airport. However, it's a bit of a walk to the beach and city center. The dining options were a bit limited, and some items were overpriced, but the traditional bread was a nice touch. Despite being a bit expensive, the facilities offered at the hotel were satisfactory.

The hotel is located along a quiet small street in the old center of the city, offering two lovely Spanish terraces. The rooms are nice and comfortable, although a bit stuffy due to the internal air shaft view and a non-functional fan for cooling. The personnel is very helpful, making the stay enjoyable overall.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel. The room was really comfortable with a great bed and a lovely bathroom, though the one at the back was small, dark, and dingy with no windows. The service was top-notch, with polite and extremely helpful staff. The location couldn't have been better, close to all the attractions in the city. The dining options were somewhat limited, but the freshly made sandwiches were a nice touch.

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were clean, quiet, and spacious, providing a comfortable atmosphere for our family. The service, particularly in the restaurant and housekeeping, was overall helpful, though there were some instances of borderline rudeness. The location was excellent, close to both the beach and the city center, making it convenient to explore the area. The dining experience next door was satisfactory and reasonably priced.

The service was excellent, professional, and friendly throughout my stay. The location was perfect for exploring the charming old part of the city, though a little noisy due to the balcony overlooking the street. The dining experience was good, offering extended serving hours, but with limited options. Overall, a great value for money stay.

The hotel had a nice location for walking into the main area and not far from the metro. However, I wouldn't feel comfortable walking alone in the narrow streets around the hotel after dark. The service was a mix; the staff were great with lots of local recommendations but didn't want to unlock the fridge in the main breakfast room. The location was excellent for exploring the city's charming old parts and attractions but was a bit pricey for dining. The dining experience was decent with enough local cold cuts and cheese, but the breakfast was pretty typical. The facilities seemed well-kept but were a bit noisy along the corridor.

Rooms

The shower in the room was good, and the king bed was nice, but the room was overlooked, so I had to keep the curtains closed, making it quite dark. The temperature control was a challenge, swinging between stifling hot and freezing, which unfortunately led to me catching a cold at the start of our trip.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The peaceful room at the rear provided a good night's sleep, but it was small and dark for two guests.

The location was ideal, close to many attractions but slightly away from the busy center. The dining experience had its flaws with minimal offerings, while the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is fab, in the hustle and bustle of the busy side streets, allowing quick access to top sights like the Picasso Museum. The rooms are lovely, lacking only a mini refrigerator.
