We stayed there just one night because we had tickets to go see Barcelona FC play. Location for soccer is the best, but the hotel is also close to other shopping centres and all transport. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Overall very happy with the hotel.

I stayed there 2 nights for business as a speaker for an event. Very nice hotel. Great staff. The restaurant's food and breakfast is phenomenal. Well worth going back there (which I intend to).

Granted the decor is a touch old world, but all in all this is a solid hotel with a decent spa facility (pool, jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, gym with stretching area) and superb food - Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all top notch. Rooms were quiet and air conditioning very good. Building isn't much to look at, basically looks like... More

For a 5-star claim, the hotel left a lot to be desired, we booked a room with no breakfast, and that's all we got. Kettle, coffee and tea are almost standard in 4* and 5* hotels but this hotel begs to differ. The hotel is old and you can tell, the air conditioning was malfunctioning for the entire 2 days... More

It is absolutely incredible that a hotel claiming to be a 5-star hotel will operate just one restaurant offering a buffet service. Even worst, in a busy day, room service will tell you "call me back in two hours"...

Staff is very polite and professional and the front desk is very helpful. The complementary gym is accesessible 24/7 and offers good workout equipment. The Spa looks very... More

This is a pleasant hotel, a bit out of the centre of the Barcelona "action", but well connected to the tourist sights using Metro Line 3, which takes you to many of the major sights. The breakfast buffet was OK rather than great, the service was excellent and overall this is a good place to stay. The Barca Football stadium... More
