Property is right outside the Parrell metro stop, go to the exit opposite the funicular. There was complimentary beer and wine tasting. It was only about 15 minutes walk from the waterfront. Rooftop had a great view of the city.

Professional 💯

Everything about the hotel is professional. The room was a great size. The food was better than most hotel restaurants I've been to. The breakfast bar was a great selection especially for someone who is gluten/dairy intolerant. Overall, can't wait to stay again.

The hotel staff were very pleasant, patient and friendly. We were made to feel comfortable and that all of our needs were met. The buffet breakfast was standard and the options were always refilled quickly and kept tidy. The hotel has the train and bus services right outside your door! I would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location, tube stop right outside and walking distance to port, Las Ramblas, shops and restaurants. We were greeted by a fantastic male reception team member who was so helpful. Carlos was also fantastic too. It’s a nice touch to have fresh water and coffee making facilities in the reception area. The rooftop pool is brilliant, a nice bonus to have at the hotel. We had a triple room which was a fantastic size, lots of space and storage. The bathroom was okay but the one negative I would say is the noise within the room. The windows really need to be double glazed as the street outside is very noisy, especially on a Saturday evening. The noise went on until 5 am And it felt like we had the windows open with the level of noise. Personally for me, the bed was really uncomfortable and I didn’t sleep very well as it was very hard. I do feel that it’s expensive given these negative issues and also the third bed is a sofa bed not a natural proper bed and breakfast wasn’t included in that cost.

I arrived in Barcelona very early in the morning. The hotel staff stored my luggage in a safe, locked location while I toured the city. Later when it was time to check in, the first room they put me in smelled of smoke. When I told them, they immediately relocated me to a different room that did not have any smoky odors. The staff was always pleasant and helpful for my entire stay.
