Very friendly and helpfull staff - Very clean hotel.

We loved everything

Staff attention

modern, stylish, well located, friendly

breakfast is a little bit expensive

Location.

Excellent location. very comfortable.

For a hotel this size there should be more than one computer. With Ryan Air and other airlines offering online check in, printing should be available.

Locatie

Dirty room, many insects, damaged ceiling badly reparated, definately dot recommend this room, especially looking at the alternatives available

The hotel was fantastic value and in a brilliant location. very close to two of Gaudis masterpieces (casa battlo and la padera) and short walk (15 min and all down hill!) to main square of placa catalunya and Las ramblas. no more than €4/5 for taxi from most parts of the city back to the hotel, very centrally located. lots of nice restaurants around and felt very safe area. free access to Egyptian museum was a nice touch and the pool and jacuzzi area of the hotel are great place to relax. Staff were very friendly and really helped us with getting directions to places.

I spent a long time looking on loads of sites at different hotels and reading loads of different reviews but picking this one really helped us enjoy the holiday. i will definitely be returning to this hotel when i come back to Barcelona.

Basic room and hotel services.

The room is very basic, small for single occupant. The window open to a wall and can hear the music and talk of other rooms. The air condition is not cool, takes a while to cool the room. If I put the air condition on max it will make a noise like a bus engine and medium abit quiter but takes ages to cool the room. The room service keep forgeting to put shampoo and body wash and I have to borrow from my frien or ask the reception, however, I ended up buying mine.

Hotel is in an excellent position for sights,restaurants and shops. Rooms were quiet,clean and comfortable.Good value hotel.

The restaurant is not open in the evening.

The only positive thing was the location of the hotel, near the center.

It just was totally different from what i saw in the net. The room was very bad, and the view from the window was a wall. I didn´t mind pay a little more and have better view. It was too hot in the room, and this problem wasn´t solved. They were not very nice.

The room is quite nice, but it small. The bath room is spacious with the bath. Hotel is in a chain (Derby hotels) then it has a standard, I guess. We book with weekend for 75euro, week days 55euro, with that price this hotel is quite acceptable.

Hotel staff is not friendly, location is good, but a little bit far from metro (4 blocks). Breakfast is expensive, then we eat at a cafe on the right of the hotel, at the next block. Note that all the room is twin room, if you want a double bed, they will combine the beds.

Great location, we were offered a cheap upgrade to an executive room with view on the garden

the rooms are soundproof from external sounds, but not from internal apparently: you can hear all pipes noises of other bathrooms. It's ok if you use earplughs though!
