The variety of choices that was offered for breakfast was great There was something you can choose from among the choices of bread, fruits, cheese ,meat, juices and all. The clean and we'll attended breakfast area was worth mentioning. The cleaning staff did a great job with the room. Overall the stall in the hotel were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location just off the Ramblas. Beautiful rooftop area and very comfortable room and large bath. Terrace was nice though other guests did drop trash into the area. Not the hotels fault and they did send bottle of champagne I think as a nice gesture.
