It's really stylish. The room was big. It overlooks Orwell's square which is very live (and noisy). But isolation is great, once you close windows you cannot hear noise. Great location too.

Marica Singapore

The place felt very elegant. The reception was very nicely decorated and the room felt very stylish. The beds were comfortable, the room was very spacious and clean. Overall, we were very impressed with the hotel.

The staff were super helpful and friendly, they helped us with everything we needed. The hotel itself is very beautiful in the heart of Barcelona, the room was beautifully decorated and kept. I loved the balcony and the ambience of the street below. Black draped curtains were definitely a vibe.

Interior design was to die for! Huge rooms considering it’s the Gothic Quarter. Pool is really nice and refreshing for a quick splash instead of going all the way to the beach. Staff was amazing, really trained, polite people.
