8/10 Good
"Excellent location. Nice pool and terrace area to relax. Staff great. Our room had an interior window so quite dark. Ok for us but some may not like it especially as a fairly expensive hotel. Only issue is there were quite a number of broken tiles on the stairs which could be dangerous."

"The staff at the front desk were very rude and unwelcoming. They seemed bothered when asked questions and were not pleasant to conversation with. The staff at the restaurant downstairs were also very standoff oriented and seemed bothered when ordering something from them. The hotel room had an iron that burned my brand new dress! Overall the room was nice and the hotel was close to a train station which was very convenient."

"The staff was so helpful and friendly. There's a room with lockers to store your luggage until check in (or after checkout before your flight, if necessary) for only €2. The location is perfect, most things are walkable, and there are two very close metro stations to get you wherever you want. It's right on La Rambla, which normally would be excellent except they're doing construction on the entire street right now. (Not the hotel's fault) But the location was still perfect, in my opinion. The breakfast was pretty decent, we ate there every morning. I would definitely stay here again, especially after the construction on La Rambla is finished."
