The pool on the rooftop is small but excellent view of Barcelona. The restaurant at the hotel have excellent food and service. Starbucks, Five Guys Burger and a Japanese restaurant are next door. Central location, walkable to every where. There are road construction outside the hotel. Hotel is on a very busy street.

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.

It was a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. Our room wasn't that large but it was a comfortable bed and good bedding. The staff were very friendly and it was very easy to walk to some great restaurants in the area. The concierge was especially helpful in making reservations for us.

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. My recommendation and what I would do in the future would be take a cab from the airport, enjoy my time in Barcelona, then return and pick up the car before exploring the rest of Spain.
