    great location
    breakfast variety
    noisy rooms

    All my thoughts, no sugarcoating

    Great experience from start to finish! And their attention to detail. Location was excellent, just a short walk to La Rambla. The rooftop pool was a fabulous spot to unwind after exploring. Breakfast offered tasty options, although I wished for more variety.

    infinity pool
    sun terrace
    welcome treats
    quirky washroom

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially the infinity pool with views and the cozy sun terrace that made for perfect relaxation spots. One funny little thing was that the washroom layout was a bit quirky, but it didn't spoil my time at all. Definitely check out the complimentary welcome treats. they were a sweet surprise! 😊

    The hotel is clean, updated. Location is perfect, central but quiet. The service at the front desk was excellent. They were able to accommodate elderly lady and moved her to another room for accessibility.

    The bathroom lighting was. minimal felt dark. Other than that the experience was great!

    helpful staff
    great pool
    confusing reception

    Loved the comfy vibes!

    This place was awesome! Super clean, modern, and the staff were just the best, super helpful. The room was huge and had a nice balcony which I really enjoyed. I also liked the pool area, perfect for chillin' after a day out. Just kinda hard to find the reception at first. All in all, a fab experience!

    Booked a nice size and very well decorated room that was kept super clean. The breakfast of the hotel restaurant was above average and complimentary with good variation.
