Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful interior. Super close to anything and everything you may need from food, entertainment, shopping, pharmacy. The most kind and attentive staff always available to assist. Had one day where an elevators was out of order that created congestion in the lobby. Loved the calming baths in the spa and on rooftop. Delicious food and cocktails at the rooftop restaurant

Great location in the gothic quarter, a stone’s throw from lots of the sights and the waterfront. Room was small but very well equipped. Great blackout blinds. Well designed space for storage. Public areas are lovely, especially the roof terrace and pool - very welcome after a day of tramping the streets. Staff attentive and knowledgeable

They start your stay with a complimentary champagne. The rooftop bar/restaurant with the infinity pool over looking downtown Barcelona was worth a visit. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of Cava wine to enjoy with our dinner along with the room upgrade. One of the best breakfast buffet in all of Europe hotels I have stayed in. The staff we're all awesome. Loved the turn down service specially the little treats they leave for the guests.
