Everything you may need as a family. Not overly luxurious, so if that’s what you are looking for, this might not be it. Very obscure entrance but super centrally located. Forgot something? El Corte Ingles is right in front. Need a snack? Supermercat right next door. Would for sure stay again.

A great hotel in a great location

An excellent hotel with an excellent location. Very well managed and looked after. The only disappointment was the smell of "smoking" in the hall, however management did say they would look in to this. It did not spoil out stay at all as could not smell anything in our room. We would definitely stay there again when we return to Barcelona.
