Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were exactly as pictured online and had a nice, spacious, and clean feel, although they could use a refurbishment. It was a bit odd to have a wall with a TV hidden behind it. The hotel's service was excellent, with friendly and efficient staff and great positioning. The central location made it easy to access various amenities and transportation options. Dining was described as very good and varied, though the dining area was small. The hotel provides satisfactory facilities. Overall, the hotel offers a comfortable stay with friendly service and a convenient location, despite some room renovations being needed.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were conveniently located right at the front of the hotel and included nice touches like being adjacent to the stairs and lift at no extra cost, they looked quite used with holes in the carpet. Unfortunately, the thin walls made it easy to hear every noise from the neighbors, impacting my overall comfort.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, with a view of Sagrada Familia, were decent but in need of renovation soon. The service was helpful and professional, but could have been more responsive to room size issues. The location, in a vibrant older sector of the city, was excellent but a little colder atmosphere. The dining options were limited, but there are nearby cafes and restaurants. Overall, it's an okay choice with some room for improvement.
Upon arrival, I noticed a few drawbacks, like the worn and stained carpet in the rooms, along with noisy tea and coffee facilities. The initial smell due to the aged carpet was a slight turn-off. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and helpful, the location was very convenient with easy access to transportation options, and surrounded by charming eateries.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern, spacious, and overlooked the Avienda Diagonal, surrounded by quality shops. The service was helpful and cooperative, even assisting with a room change. The location was fantastic, offering plenty of dining choices, transportation access, and unique opportunities to order. The dining experience was superb with a wide variety of healthy and indulgent options. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.
When I wanted to see the room before finalizing my booking, I found it to be stuffy with the windows closed. Despite that, the room itself was large and looked wonderful. One thing that stood out was the ability to control the temperature for both heating and cooling, a feature not often found in many hotels in Spain.
The hotel is conveniently located, perfect for sightseeing, nestled between Park Guell and Eixample. The rooms are spacious and impeccably clean right after check-in. The service, especially Zoe, is incredibly helpful and friendly, though occasional oversights like missing toiletries can occur. The dining options offer a wide variety, with superb coffee but some items may not be included in the tariff. The location is excellent for exploring Barcelona, within walking distance to major attractions like Rambla and Sagrada Familia. The facilities are convenient, offering car hire, dry cleaning, and other amenities.
I had a great stay at this hotel! The room was clean and comfy, and the staff was really helpful. The location is fantastic, with excellent transport links nearby, but the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, it's a great choice for a comfortable stay.
The hotel has spacious and clean rooms, although they look a bit tired. The service was friendly and helpful, especially with accommodating a family. The location is convenient for sightseeing but lacking in atmosphere. The dining options are good with a wide variety available. Overall, a decent hotel for the price with some room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The open bathroom setup in the rooms felt odd, but the staff was welcoming and friendly. The location is convenient for sightseeing, although the soundproofing on the 15th floor was poor. Dining options varied, with some being really good while others were disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The room I stayed in was really spacious and comfortable, and the location was pretty good. However, the experience of checking out alone without assistance was a bit of a letdown.
Upon arriving at the hotel, I found the rooms to be spacious and perfectly clean, but unfortunately, it was quite noisy due to sounds from the room above. The view facing the backyard with adjacent building balconies was not ideal, but overall the room was comfortable.
