Quit room on 'garden' side. helpful staff. very clean. all the usual little extras. small quiet bar area. nice little pool to refresh you after sight seeing. would reccomend to all groups of travellers.
The only negative i could find is that the coridors are marble type tiles which can be noisy when guests come in late at night. fortunately the hotel was not so busy when we stayed and we only heard other guests come in once. Holmes

Excellent location,just near zone specially for mature travellers. best zone for nice shops, nice cheap and also expensive places to eat. one block from famous rambla catalunia and cervecería catalunya.two blocks from paseo de gracia, near la pedrera, and near carago street where you take the train and metroFrom easy to book you couldn`t define for a matrimonial bed or 2 beds. the bedrooms are a bit small but very comfortable with very good services.ALDAGHARI

My friends and i were quite satisfied with our stay but i must say we found the rooms rather pricey. we stayed 5 nights and the prices varied per night from 95euros for 2 nights 145 euros for 2 nights and one night wepaid 155euros.this did not include any breakfast which we felt was over the top price wise. we were also told if we wanted a room at the back of the hotel were it was quieter it was another 20 euros per night per room. too expensive for what we got.

Great location if you are wanting a quieter location but close enough to walk to centre. lovely outdoor area with patio and pool area.Unfortunately our room was not totaly soundproofed. the website states that all rooms are soundproofed, this is incorrect. when we arrived we were offered a room at the back of the hotel for an extra 20 euros per night. we did not take up this offer!Adrian

Buen trato del personal del hotel. disponer de la habitación antes de las 14 horas. la consigna de equipajes.La publicidad engañosa del servicio de piscina. el espacio no es suficiente para el uso de la misma por los clientes.Anonymous
