    clean accommodations

    would definitely book here again

    We had a fantastic time! The superior double room had air conditioning, a minibar, and comfy beds. The rooftop bar was amazing for cocktails, and we enjoyed stunning city views. Breakfast was abundant with scrambled eggs, fresh fruits, and pastries. Daily housekeeping kept everything spotless. The metro was super close, making it easy to explore Barcelona.

    great location
    low water pressure

    Had a great time with friends! We visited the port, which was perfect for a lively evening out, and enjoyed a theater show nearby. The staff were super friendly, and the location made it easy to get around. Rooms were clean, and we felt very safe with key access to the elevator.

    Unfortunately, the water pressure in the shower was really low, making it a bit frustrating when getting ready in the morning.

    breathtaking rooftop view
    noisy street

    A sunrise to remember

    Waking up each morning to a delightful breakfast spread was a highlight! The rooftop terrace view was breathtaking, making every moment feel special.

    However, the noise from the nearby street was quite noticeable at night, disrupting my restful sleep on a few occasions.

    accessible bathroom

    It was just a solid selection for a city break in Barcelona with good value considering the price charged. The accessible bathroom had ample maneuvering space, which was a relief after a long trip. Make sure to confirm any specific needs with the staff before arrival.

    The location was perfect for getting around the city, with a metro station just outside. The rooftop bar was cozy and a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring. I appreciated the variety at breakfast and found the staff keen to help make my stay enjoyable.

    great location
    spacious room
    uninspiring view
    cocktail service absence
    small pool

    Great location with easy walking access to attractions. The rooftop terrace with a small pool was a delightful surprise, and the room was spacious and impeccably clean. Service was commendable, particularly at breakfast, where the staff was attentive and friendly. However, the view from our room was uninspiring, facing another building, and there was no cocktail service at the rooftop bar during our stay.

    luxurious room

    Couples looking for luxury and relaxation

    We were lucky to have a huge room with a fine view of the skyline and the service was great like nothing we had experienced before

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain but definitely worth the splurge
