Efrain United States of America

The location in La Rambla was really good. It was easily within walking distance of main attractions. More importantly, the beds were super comfy and the pressure in the shower was fantastic! Also, the taxi stop was right there in front of the hotel, which was perfect for our 6am flight.

Absolutely stunning hotel! The view from rooftop was amazing! Turkish bath/spa was a great bonus! Rooms were large, clean, and had a walk out balcony. Definitely would recommend and stay again!
