Facilities

Rooftop bar and infinity pool with panoramic views are a standout; the pool is small and unheated, and sunbeds may require reservations. Spa is appreciated though sauna temperature and towel replenishment drew a couple of complaints, and the gym feels small to some.

They start your stay with a complimentary champagne. The rooftop bar/restaurant with the infinity pool over looking downtown Barcelona was worth a visit. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of Cava wine to enjoy with our dinner along with the room upgrade. One of the best breakfast buffet in all of Europe hotels I have stayed in. The staff we're all awesome. Loved the turn down service specially the little treats they leave for the guests.

The hotel does not deserve a 5-star rating. To start with, the carpet outside our room was stained. It wasn’t dust or it would have been hoovered. Upon entering, the entire room was shrouded in dark: dark walls, one small window in the corner, terrible lighting and a window blind that didn’t allow us to open the window as it was in the way. The bathroom had black walls and terrible lighting with a vertical light smack in the middle of the mirror above the basin so you were unable to see yourself! The loo lid came off every day, the basins didn’t drain, the shower didn’t drain either, the plastic bath overflow came off every day and the towels were frayed. Two of the three lifts did not reach the breakfast room and all the walls had massive scuff marks throughout. The staff however were very friendly and helpful, apart from the monosyllabic robot girl at breakfast who barked orders, without a single smile in 4 days. And breakfast was mediocre. To pay nearly a thousand pounds for a room allows me to expect far better than this sadly and I would therefore never go back or ever recommend this place to anyone. ☹️

It is not 5 star hotel. 4 stars Max. Nice hotel but limited with amenities.. we had to ask for toothbrushes twice and received none. Limited option to cosmetic kits (almost none). Hotel does not replenish supplies.. so if you used shower cap once, it will be gone next day and good luck having a replacement ( remember no toothbrushes, no extra shower cap… hold on to what you got). Hide them. Limited amount of towels as well- 2 only. My face towel for second night was gone as well, no replacement from housekeeping. Also rooms are small.. I am gold with hotels.com but good luck with upgrades.. none will be given.

Hotel has had a recent major refurbishment. I have stayed here a few times, location is perfect! We found our room was modern and comfortable but dark, especially in the shower. No mirror in the room, Only mirror was in the bathroom. We had to ask for an extra bathrobe and teabags, only one of each left for two of us. Staff however were incredibly helpful, just feel the design of the hotel overall is far too dark for such a beautiful building, not an improvement I feel. Roof bar is a lovely improvement. Major roadworks going on outside of the hotel so taxis found it difficult to drop off. We only like coffee and pastries for breakfast, so went to great coffee shop next door…Great stay otherwise

This hotel was clean and comfortable but would not say its a good value. Its up there in price with a great location to walk to much of the Gothic District bars and restaurants as well as easy walk to the Rambala and familia cathedral as well as the Gaudi museums. The roof top bar is nice. Closes at 2300 but pool closes at 1900. WiFi was good. The AC is OK. It will not cool below 21c so the room was a bit warm at night. Its busy location so keeping window open is too loud to sleep. Overall, we felt that it was not a great value for the money

Beautiful hotel , comfortable rooms , professional and helpful staff . Good location but Noisy , which is normal because of the mail street . Roof top nice but small so you have to wait for a place at the pool or sitting table. Advantages of gold member not granted , no upgrade which i can understand because it’s upon availability , but when asked late checkout I had to push to get 2 pm. Otherwise I was asked to pay 150euros . Too strict for a 5 stars at this price . And they weren’t full as I checked online they had availability. The biggest downside is internet , which is unacceptable for any hotel in a European country . Even in third word countries i didn’t see such a connection . Wifi doesn’t work and too slow So if you intend to work , donc count on the internet

I can’t say enough good things about this wonderful boutique hotel! I think first and foremost, the staff here is beyond exceptional. They all are so very kind. I arrived quite early, (along with many others coming from a cruise), and the front desk staff did everything they could to get us into our rooms ASAP. They were professional, polite, kind, and so helpful. I booked a superior room and it was perfect. I believe the hotel has very recently been remodeled because as lovely as the pictures are, the decor is modern, fresh, and updated. The hotel smells so good,, and clean…as though it’s brand new and every square inch is absolutely SPOTLESS. The breakfast buffet is delightful! Room service was also perfect and reasonably priced. They have turn-down service, and leave the most delicious chocolates on your pillow! I inquired about the chocolatier and Paul, at reception went out of his way to help me find the shop to purchase a box. I think what will stick out the most when I look back on this hotel will be how beautiful the rooftop bar/restaurant, and pool was. On my arrival day, I spent some time having lunch there. Sergio was the bartender and I really can’t say enough nice things about him. He recommended places I should see, took time recommending wines they offered that I absolutely loved, and really just was a very kind young man. And it was a genuine kindness, not the fake type. I really appreciated this. It was so nice not to feel invisible. I am grateful for that.

Everything was great, but there is construction on the road in front of the hotel making access with a car a bit difficult. You then need to circle back around to get to the parking garage.
