Great location, staff, decor, rooms & windows! The only downside was the noise at night, but that’s to be expected in any city. Would recommend this hotel!

We loved our room and the whole experience of our stay. The room was very clean, comfortable, and the location was convenient to all the sights we planned to see. The staff was excellent and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
The online description was completely accurate and met or exceeded my expectations. Many people have noted that the hotel is located on a busy square (well Triangle) that can be quite loud in the early morning hours, but that was not an issue for me. The location is fantastic, the room and facilities are top notch and the staff is quite helpful.

The property is beautiful and well located to walk everywhere
The staff was warm and welcoming and happy to help you navigate the city. We didn’t look at the pool/terrace area (visited in Feb). The room was very clean. One minor issue was the “automatic” closet light in our room delayed clicking on by a couple seconds, then clicked off almost as quickly…so it made it a little difficult to see at times. When we needed to stay an extra day they accommodated us quickly and seamlessly. We did not eat in the hotel so cannot comment on the food. You could hear some street noise in the late night, but it wasn’t bad (but again, it was low season). The hotel is a good location…close to restaurants and shops and just a few minutes walk to the Born district (which offers even more restaurants/museums etc) and other tourist sites.

We had a great experience, family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The roomie big enough and clean. Love that the hotel is in the local area so we experienced the real Barcelona life. The hotel is pricy but we were happy with our choice.
