Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff, perfect location. Rooms facing the street tend to be noisy at night, ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper.

Had a lovely stay. Reception saw I was disappointed the rooftop bar was closed so gave us two complimentary drinks to have at a sister hotel. We went to hotel 1898 for the drinks and it was lovely. Bwrg pleased with our room. The hotel is lovely. Bed very comfortable. No plug for the bath but I dare say this would have been sorted if I’d have asked for one. We were able to leave our baggage securely with concierge. Highly recommend

The hotel is at the ultimate spot for transportation. The train station is right outside the hotel's front door and it could not get more convenient than that! It is also very close to the port, Las Ramblas, Gothic Quarter and other sites! The breakfast took us by surprise because based on our previous stays in different countries in Europe, we did not expect the buffet to have so many options and the food was delightful! On our first night, there was loud commotion on our floor and we are not sure what exactly happened since we do not speak Spanish well, but eventually the police arrived to settle the situation. It would've been great if the situation was taken care of a bit quicker since it felt like it went on for at least 30 minutes, but these types of things can't quite be predicted so it's understandable. Overall, a great hotel at a great location!

We have stayed at this property previously, and the room was awesome, with plenty of room, very quiet and comfortable. Unfortunately, this time the room we had (on the same floor but in different area) was not good. We heard every noise from neighboring rooms at all hours of the night so that was disappointing and disruptive, but it won't stop us from staying there again in the future if the opportunity arises.

Great hotel, run by people who are passionate about treating their guests the right way! Great at answering all your questions and concerns. The only negative has nothing to do with the hotel but just the location. Close to transit but very sketchy at night.
