CanadaThe kindness and professionalism of the staff - the bed is a dream, bedroom well design. The breakfast is a blast. Perfect location; I will highly recommend this hotel. Marta at the reception is 5 starts by herself!
United States of AmericaWe liked everything and the staff who has been very accomodatiing. Thank you
SwitzerlandBy far the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. Incredibly attentive staff, beautiful rooms, and perfect location for shopping and eating out. Breakfast selection was top notch and we looked forward to it every morning!
United States of AmericaWe loved the location. We could walk to so many good restaurants, the cathedral, the Picasso Museum, the Market, the Palau de la Musica. We loved the rooftop bar and the view was lovely. We loved the restaurant lounge. We had Tapas one night and great drinks - Sadam was our server and he was great. The gentleman at the front desk check who gave us a tour of our room offered so much good information and followed up with us the next day to make sure we were on the right track. We loved the room. It was very modern, clean, great view, most comfortable bed & the bar refrigerator was replenished daily complimentary with yummy treats.
United States of AmericaDid not eat breakfast but the staff was incredible, very friendly and accommodating.
United States of AmericaGreat location for seeing the major sights on our list and we loved exploring nearby Born’s trendy shops and restaurants. Staff were most helpful with restaurant suggestions, etc.
United States of Americagreat staff and location. nice room but they could use a bidet in the bathroom and better lighting control
United States of AmericaThe staff were all so helpful and eager to please. They really wanted to ensure that you enjoy your stay. Breakfast was very sumptuous. It has a good combination of local and continental dishes. Great location too. Everything is only a walking distance away. Plenty of bars snd restaurants around. I truly appreciate the lemon water at the lobby. After shopping and walking, it is truly a welcome treat. Small treats like this one makes you feel really special. Also speaks of how management thinks of small details that could make your stay really special.
PhilippinesI am so happy about the location. There are so many good restaurants around the area. Shopping is so convenient. Artisan shops can be found around the Gothic area. All very accessible and can be reach by walking.
