Stayed there twice now, 4 years apart and it is still good. the surprise is the street its in compared with the interior of the hotel. a massive contrast and one that is a pleasant shock. breakfasts are good and the service excelent. hot and cold selections, including a fruit salad. its also a very quiet hotel in a very quiet area. 
Nothing really negative. its a bit of a walk to la ramblas, but an intersting one through the narrow streets. would not put it down on this.Sabawi

The location was excellent and within easy walking distance of all the city sights.Because of other feedback i had asked not to be in a room near the lift. when we got to the hotel they did not appear to have a room for us and started to ring around for other accommodation! however after about 20 minutes the hotel receptionist said that they did have enough room and we were directed to a room which was by the lift!! however it was on the 6th floor and was not noisy at all.Anonymous

Good location walking distance from bus station and close to other attractions. very nice reception staff and helpful. it was very clean and felt safe.Hotel room was just a enough, but didnt linger there as not spacious. that didnt encourage me to stay in the hotel, but was on a sightseeing holiday anyway. so suited me fine.Anonymous

The location was perfect for our visit and the staff was helpful. the hotel was clean and relatively quiet. seemed also to have good security, the staff questioned even my visiting daughter.The size of the beds. a "double" is really not much bigger than a twin. we didn't use the breakfast as it seemed comparitively expensive.A E Lucas

Good locationNothing overly negative, it was pretty basic accommodation for the price i paid. when looking for the hotels on the website the prices said one thing and then when you went into book that hotel the prices increased which was very inconvenient. why doesn't it just show the actually price instead of showing a lower price and then changing it to a higher one?Mr N T Pilsbury

They prepared a baby crib for our 1year old son althought we didn t ask for it, and it was free of charge / that impressed meThe bathroom could be more clean and they could clean the floor more often. we had a room opposite the elevator and in the evening we could hear every guest and opening of doorsAnonymous

We thought that this was an excellent hotel for the price in relation to location and overall quality of hotel. room was modern and stylish, staff were really friendly and helpful, and the bathroom was gorgeous - all impressively modern and comfortable and fab location- would recommend to all in your categories below even though the site wont let me select them all!Nothing to dislike - all was greatAnonymous
