Great location in the gothic quarter, a stone’s throw from lots of the sights and the waterfront. Room was small but very well equipped. Great blackout blinds. Well designed space for storage. Public areas are lovely, especially the roof terrace and pool - very welcome after a day of tramping the streets. Staff attentive and knowledgeable

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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
