This hotel may be the place you want to stay with each visit to Barcelona. It's not cheap but it is lovely. It's also popular with business travellers but the Spanish do like to beep their horns so staying at the front of the hotel could be noisy and disturbing and leave you disappointed. Being within close proximity of the metro line and only a short walk from Gaudi's Casa Batllo, la Pedrera, and even not far from Sagrada Familia, the location of this hotel is great. It is very centralised with many shops nearby as well. Overall, a fantastic location. The hotel rooms are an adequate size with a decent night's sleep to be had from the bed itself. The bathrooms are a little outdated and could do with a deep clean. The staff at the hotel were incredibly helpful. The hotel had a lovely pillow menu but breakfast was not worth the price paid. The front of the hotel can be loud so it is worth requesting a room facing the courtyard at the back and you may want to consider one of the lower floors to avoid having to take one of the two lifts. They are small and irregular in their arrival causing sometimes long wait times.
I have stayed here three times -all on business trips where the hotel was booked for me. In fact, there are many meetings held here, and so you might find yourself surrounded by a large group of businessmen - not necessarily a bad thing -but just be aware. The two lifts are small and infrequent, and so you may have to wait a long time - which is annoying if you are on the top floors. The location is great for seeing Barcelona -you can reach most of the central sights by foot -including the Gaudi cathedral. Very near to a metro line , which is also a bonus. Rooms are fine -just try to get one facing the courtyard at the back -the ones to the front can be noisy. Biggest disappointment was the breakfast -17 for a very poor selection - definitely not worth it. I didn`t bother after the first morning.

We got a really good deal on the rooms at this hotel and, therefore, it was worth what we paid for it. However, I would have been dissapointed if we had payed full price for this. We went in january which I know is not in season however, the terraces were closed and the pools were not open. They were also doing refurbishment works to one of the terraces, none of this was really communicated until you checked in. The room was a reasonable size as we had one at the end of a corridor and the bed was comfy. The bathrooms however, need some updating, they were tired and not in the best condition. Also be warned if you stay on the front of the hotel, the spanish like to beep their horns and this can be disturbing.

Second time in this hotel and kinda disappointed. Rooms are ok and it is a good value for money mainly due to the great location on Paseig de Gracia, but the service does not seem to care so much about their customers. They are physically present behind the desk, but it stops here. It seems that they are breathing boredom. If you go to Barcelona for a short weekend and do not plan to spend too much time at the hotel, it'll be alright. If not, i'm sure you can pick a better place where the service will show you a more positive and customer focused attitude.

The hotel staff was very helpful, rooms very modern with everything that we could think of. It is a short walk away from Gaudi's Casa Batllo, la Pedrera and a bit longer to la Sagrada Familia, the location couldn't be better! Within a couple of blocks it has many restaurants to chose from and can't forget to mention that it's in a great shopping area. From now on the place where we'll stay when visiting Barcelona.

Great hotel! i can only think of a few things wrong with our stay, for one, breakfast was not worth the price paid and room service was a bit overpriced as well, but with such a wide variety of other places to eat in barcelona, it didn{t really mattter much. The standard room was small but then again the bed was huge! and the location. it can't get eny better!

This hotel is located in a great location however is very expensive. If your looking for a place near Gaudi's buildings and shopping areas, then stay here.
