Short cab ride from cruise terminal and we were at this wonderful, historic hotel in the Ramblas area. We arrived really early so the front desk staff took our luggage to stow , and told us to come back around 2pm. Back to the hotel at 2pm our room was ready and we had an upgrade!

We enjoyed the rooftop terrace, restaurant and in room dining. Our room had a terrace with a lovely city view - we used it frequently. We would love to return... More

Hotel in a good location if you want to be near Rambles. Rooms were clean with modern decor, great terrace on top of hotel. Rooms were a little small and not much English speaking channels on the television but that was to be expected. Excellent staff!

Great Location, rooms good standard. staff not always friendly or accommodating, bar not always open at advertised times or at all in some occasions. Breakfast okayish, but difficult to understand why they only offered tinned fruit when they are situated only metres away from a fabulous market!

We spent 4 nights at this 4-star hotel next to the opera in Barcelona, a block off La Ramblas and the Metro. It is newly renovted and the interior is done in a very modern style (see photos).

I have no qualms about recomending this hotel. I't location is perfect for walking Los Ramblas and seeing attractions like the market. Loved the decor and the staff was outstanding. The room was a bit small but I didn't care, I didn't go to Barecelona to stay in the room.

Superb and stylish modern conversion of an old building. All done exceptionally well. Literally just off La Rambla and close to a metro stop. The road outside the hotel is fine but as it gets further way from La Rambla it does get a little dubious. It was not a problem at all between the hotel, La Rambla and the... More
