Great hotel. Central location. Lovely staff.

Got given some free brownies when we came in, nice bathroom and room has aircon. We stayed for 3 nights and it was wonderful, in a great place for seeing Barcelona....

The hotel offers a rooftop bar but this should be avoided, it is dirty, shabby and in nee...

Every single person we met was very friendly.
Comfortable room. Plenty of space. Very nice mattress and pillows. We stayed on the 5th floor, and it was nice and quiet.
The breakfast was AMAZING! Freshly baked bread, freshly squeezed fresh fruit juice, everything so fresh and tasty.
We loved our stay here, especially coming from rainy UK. The little swimming pool on the roof is a lovely way to relax, though we walk...
