4/5 Good

  • Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Really helpful staff on reception, couldn’t do enough to help or give advice on what to do in Barcelona. Unfortunately the roof terrace was closed for the duration of our 5 night stay even though we were advised that the bar would be available. Hotel was in a good location very close to the metro which we used frequently and found a great way to travel around and see the sights.

I wouldn’t mind staying here again. Metro right in front of entrance. Very convenient. Room and bathroom very clean and I loved the shower! No English subtitles on the TV.
