The hotel has great location. Right off the center plaza in Gothic Quarter. Convenient to shops and attractions. The hotel is small, but clean and tastefully decorated. We booked the Premium Triple Room,City View. The room, is a bit tight with the sofa bed folded out tbat left very little room for fridge and desk access. We didn't get City View but view of the back of some old historic building which was rather interesting. The staff was courteous and attentive. Hotel didn't have a pool but offered access to a health club 8 minute walk away. We didn't take advantage of this. An on-premise pool would have been nice. The restaurant looks nice, but it was a bit upscale for our taste (hubby and son prefers pastas and pizzas :).
The biggest gripe we had was the design of the bathroom. It was an open-style bathroom with frosted glass panels that did not provide much privacy. It may have been ok for single person or a couple, but it was rather awkward for a family with a teenage boy. We were offered to upgrade to a suite room which has private bathroom for additional $50 a night. But we already unpacked and spend one night, it was not worth it moving. I felt since they had the suite available, it would have been better if they offered a free upgrade. After all we were already paying $400/night. I guess for the money, I was expecting a bit more. But overall, we enjoyed our stay. Barcelona is beautiful and the hotel location was very convenient.
