Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were a mix of brilliant size and cleanliness, offering very comfortable stays. However, our room with a window to an internal patio felt dark and claustrophobic, more like a broom closet than a premium stay. The service was attentive and helpful, though it could use a warmer and more welcoming touch. The location was perfect, conveniently close to tourist spots and a shuttle to the airport. The dining experience was pleasant overall, with the only downside being the need to arrive early to avoid missing out on certain items. Overall, a reasonably basic stay for the price paid but with several key positives and some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms were nice and quiet, though the size of the bed was a bit small for my liking. The service was superb, with the staff going the extra mile to assist, especially Javier. The location was excellent, centrally situated for easy access to many interesting areas. The dining was pretty good, offering a mix of cold cuts, fruits, and pastries, although the scrambled eggs were not the best. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with comfortable beds, though it can get noisy at times due to its proximity to the beach. The service is friendly and helpful but may lack some basic facilities one might expect. The location is ideal for exploring the old city, with easy access to tourist attractions and a variety of dining options. The dining experience is satisfying with a nice selection of dishes at reasonable prices.
The hotel has a lovely terrace and serves an excellent breakfast, but the room had a springy and uncomfortable bed with worn-out furniture and decor. The location is perfect, close to both the Gothic quarter and the Born district, offering easy access to various attractions. The dining options were varied, with some minor flaws noted. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond, though some interactions felt a bit lacking in warmth.
The hotel room was not ideal for two people as the bathroom door could not be locked and lacked decorations, but it provided a peaceful retreat away from road noise. The service was helpful, especially in guiding us through Barcelona adventures. The location was excellent, near important attractions and transportation options, although the dining options were lacking. Overall, the hotel offers a mixed experience with room for improvement.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with clean and very comfortable rooms despite being next to a busy street over Roman walls. The friendly service was a highlight, even with the Barcelona tourist rush. The location was fantastic, right at the heart of Gothic Quarter, offering easy access to many attractions. The dining experience, although not amazing, was still acceptable, considering the price.
