I loved everything about this hotel, except that there was so much noise, we couldn't sleep for the 2 nights we were there. Otherwise, it's in the perfect location, right across the street from the beautiful Parc de la Ciutadella, within walking distance to Gaudi's Pedrera, etc. Fabulous restaurant downstairs, great staff, fast wifi, comfy beds, pillows & shower. Unfortunately, our room's window opened onto the back of the bldg., with a water tank and pipes that started working every time someone in the bldg. used any water at all. This never stopped. There was construction noise until 10:30 on the Thursday nite, and at 4:22 am, two neighbours got home and started throwing bricks at the wall, from the sound of it. No construction noise the following night, but the ever present water flushing sound never stopped, and the same neighbours got home at 4:20 am and talked really loudly for hours. What a shame. If you go, do NOT take room #212; if so, bring earplugs. No elevator, but it only has 2 floors, so not a big deal. Make reservations at the desk for lunch on Thursdays, as their restaurant and terrasse are packed for their weekly paella menu del dia.
