Staff was friendly and helpful. Good coffee with more-than-adequate breakfast buffet. The room was surprisingly quiet. We loved the neighborhood. It's close to the most touristy areas, but just enough removed to feel like you're among the locals. Lots of restaurants and public transportation options nearby.

Daniel

United States of America

The hotel is placed right at the center of the Gay Eixample, around many gay bar and businesses. In the hotel you will find a very active bar, with wonderful activities. The members of the hotels are mostly LGBTQ, which makes the environment a little more friendly. Staff is very nice and welcoming.

The bed was too hard for me to sleep (very common issue in Spain) and while most of the staff were friendly and helpful, some had an attitude problem. I think the place isn’t living up to its full potential yet though. It would be nice if the pool was temperature-controlled, for example. I believe the experience could be more lively with some more enhancements.
The hotel was clean, most of the staff were friendly and the rooftop gives you something to do on quiet days.

I didnt have much interaction apart from with the receptionists .The seating at lobby area was sparse and decor was Bkack / white which gave it a cold feel on entering. Rood top bar looked enticing but bear in mind this particular area is predominately a gay community. So if your travelling alone and straight it may not be the hotel for you.. The roof top bar is very trans and gay and great for one nights entertainment .Opened late eve only and usually for Lip sync shows. The show was great with very talented Transsexuals. However it is not your typical bar to chill out ,read or have a coffee or glass of wine.
Location was perfect within walking distance of the main centre and 10 minutes walk from the Gothic area with many bars and restaurants.

The bathroom (which was nice otherwise) had very little counter or shelf space, and no hooks. I'm baffled when hotels don't provide a place to put toiletries. Public areas had a bleachy smell. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Positives outweighed any negatives.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Good coffee with more-than-adequate breakfast buffet. The room was surprisingly quiet. We loved the neighborhood.
