The hotel is in a great area. However the air conditioning was not working. There were many other guests complaining about he same issue. The WIFI was a joke so to h. Wry unstable connection and quite slow. I believe that for the price charged a proper air conditioning and a working internet is a must

Well situated. The "Adult only" meant Gay welcomed. For a regular couple, its a bit embarassing because all publicities and images were provocative of men half naked kissing and touching. We felt strange and didn't want to go to the pool or bar because my husband didn't feel confortable. We have many gay friends but it was really too much.

Great location - the service and the room was well below what we had expected and experienced at other locations in Barcelona. The rooms AC would not work - the front desk would not look unit. They offered fan - not even a change of room. There was mold in out shower caulking and the curtains were half fallen off in our room. The housekeepers were AMAZING and the breakfast staff were lovely! The bar staff on the 7th floor were very slow. It took 28 minutes to get one drink on a Tuesday night. Deplorable. We paid nearly $500 for a horrible experience. I would like a refund for our stay.
