This hotel has a really good location: Ramblas and the metro are just in 5 minutes walk from the hotel. The man who met us the 31th of December was helpful and nice, he told us all the information we needed. The safe is free. The girls worked at the hotel reception were not helpful at all. The pressure of the water in our shower (the room № 305) was poor and it took more time to have a bath, than usually.

The hotel was quite well located, away from the busy Ramblas area, but not too far out and within walking distance. The room cleaning staff were very nice, polite and helpful. the reception staff were also very helpful, although seemed very tired and stressed. Room was adequate for a couple of days. Safe provided was easy to use, but not bolted down. It's probably not spanish, but there were no tea and coffee making facilities in the room, to me that is vital. The room was a bit tired and the metal framed bed squealed with every movement. Our room was situated at the front of the hotel, which had the sun on it all day. this made the room very hot, even in December. a/c was not working and the room was incredibly hot. There was nowhere really to sit and relax, the only sofas were in reception. I would recommend this hotel to other travellers, with conditions.

It was convenient to the port for getting on a cruise ship, but not near enough to walk from the hotel to the ship! No tea-making in the room and not as near to the port as I expected.

Friendlyness of front desk staff. Very helpful about how to get around the city and many ways of doing it.ie. Bus, metro, taxi etc Very convenient to the port for cruisers. A taxi is always available on the street outside the Hotel for the cruise terminal. Convenient to La Rambla and the Metro. There is a great little coffee shop several doors away with great cappuccino and croisants. Very friendly and informative staff as well. Overall great location and staff.was great. A 9/10. We will stay here again next year and recommend this hotel to friends. Especially cruisers

The hotel was suitably located for our needs I'm sorry to say that the room we stayed in on 25th sep was the worst room and the most expensive of our whole 4 week vacation. The room had a terrible odour was unclean and looked sraight into many living areas of apartments. When we asked for another room we were told there were non available despite booking sometime ago.. We will not be staying again and could not recommend to others.

This hotel had mixed reviews, but I wanted something close to the port for our pre-cruise stay. It was PERFECT and I would not hesitate to stay there again. We walked to the train, walked safely from the hotel to Las Ramblas - during the day and after dark, and walked - with each of us guiding 2 large pieces of rolling luggage - a very short 2 block distance to the cruise ship shuttle bus across from the Colombo monument. Hotel staff was extremely helpful in providing directions and local information.

Rooms are clean - modern design - free open wi-fi access in the rooms - location is quite close to La Rambla and city center - Ac was a disaster! It stopped working several times during our 6 nights stay. Complaints did not help solve the problem - Breakfast wasn't that good, needs real improvement -

Nothing The staff is rude. The place is very noisy. We could not sleep for several nights. This is the worst place we have stayed during our Europe trip and the rate is not cheap.

The staff were friendly and gave us good advice on where to get a taxi ( both in spanish&english)and even the best route to drive to Malaga! We were also allowed a late check out,at a modest fee and a very early entry to our room on arrival.The lady on reception remembered us from our stay 2 weeks earlier too. We could also choose the location of our room ( back of the hotel is quiet). We made 2 overnight stays here at beginning and end of a cruise we took from Barcelona. The hotel is not luxurious, but very adequate for a quick overnight stay or 2 or 3 day city break. Very convenient for Ramblas ( 5 min walk). I would stay here again.

Ideal location for people cruising from Barcelona. We stayed here the night before a cruise. Taxi for two people with two suitcases from the hotel to the port area was 10 euros. Hotel staff were polite, friendly and helpful. Security for access to the hotel was in place. The rooms were clean and comfortable and there was no noise from the busy street outside. The Ramblas was 5 minutes walk away.

The hotel was barely OK. It is well positioned, almost at the seaside, and some 5 min walk from La Rambla. The room was kept very clean. Didn't like much. It was well below what I expected, and what was 'promised' via photos and hotel description. Worst ever flors and coridors, furniture was probably supposed to be changed some 5-10 years ago, but they forgot to do it, noisy beds, viewing other rooms, leaking shower cabin causing flods on tha bathroom floor every time you take a shower, constant attempts of hotel staff to spare a shampoo/shower gel every day (getting one or no bottle at all even though there was two of us in the room), the fridge barely having any liofe in itself, etc. This hotel needs some serious redecorating.

Het hotel is klein maar goed verzorgd. We kregen eerst een kamer met uitzicht op... ramen :-s maar nadat we meteen hadden aangegeven niet blij te zijn kregen we een nieuwe met uitzicht op de straat :-). Elke ochtend stond er een lekker vers ontbijt klaar. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk. De ligging was perfect, niet ver van de Ramblas(5min lopen) en de haven (waar je overigens heerlijk kan eten bij Tapa Tapa!). Elke dag werd je kamer opgeruimd en kreeg je schone handoeken. Er is gratis WiFi maar die doet het steeds niet. T ligt niet zozeer aan het hotel maar Barcelona is een drukke lawaaiige stad waardoor je in de nacht wel een paar keer wakker wordt van ambulances, politie en scooters ook voelt de metro soms aan als een lichte aardbeving..

Die Lage zum Stadtzentrum war optimal, alles war gut zu Fuß zuerreichen, einschließlich der Vekehrsanbindungen mit Metrostationen oder Touristenbus. Die Zimmer waren gut und geräumig. Besonders abwechslungsreich war das Frühstücksbuffet im Hotel, welches wir erst vor Ort probierten und dann auch für die anderen Tage buchten. Das ist wirklich zu empfehlen.
