We stayed here in probably the hottest month of the summer and it was so great to come back from our daily travels to this clean, modern hip hotel. Staff was helpful, the small pool refreshing and a great place to sit and relax and meet people. Breakfast a little expensive but nice to have it right there and enough... more

Best thing of the hotel is the location. You can walk around he city centre at all times. Staff was really nice and with comprehensive english. Wifi available and included on room price (this should be the standard everywhere now) Room is not big, but sufficient and with air conditioning. If I think of going back to Barcelona, would probably... more

This hotel is very clean and the staff is very helpful. It is located in the Eixample neighborhood 1 block off Rambla de Catalunya--- not Las Ramblas! Great location. Quiet, but just 1 block from Rmb de Catalunya with some great terrace resturants. Also, Passeig de Gracia is only 2 blocks for high end shopping. We didn't make it but... more
