The location, they had great answers to tourist questions like .... "can you inform us about a flaminco night, have you a list of tapas bars for youngsters, what is the rate for taxi's etc..

Moniek, Belgium

Very nice hotel. Staff super friendly especially Dave who we dealt with at reception. It’s a hotel catering predominantly for the gay market but very hetro friendly. We got a free room upgrade and the room was great. Bed super comfy, shower superb. The Peru/Japonés restaurant in the hotel is also fantastic.

Francisco, Spain

Awesome Staff ... helpful ... knowledgable about Barcelona

눇You can't beat the location, and the suites on the 7th floor are spacious with lovely terraces, but unfortunately the rooftop was under renovation during my trip. That meant that the SkyBar was closed, the pool was closed, AND there was loud drilling right above my head every morning starting at 0900, since I was in the sub penthouse. I called hotel staff several times about it and they initially said they would look into it, but, after several conversations, they finally told me "You'll just have to deal with it. We are renovating". Given the late nights one tends to have in a Barcelona vacation in E'ixample, this was unacceptable. For anyone considering this property, call ahead to ensure there is no construction going on, and that the rooftop facilities are fully operational for the duration of your stay. If that is the case, it is a good hotel. If not, stay elsewhere, as they won't work with you to ensure you are able to get a good night's sleep.

“Not all facilities available. Uncomfortable room. Very noisy. Air-condition is not functioning well.”

- • Stayed 3 nights
눉THE HOTEL - we were disappointed to realized that the bar and the pool were not available at the time we were there. Unfortunately this was not mentioned in the confirmed reservation form. I believe that this type of information should be in bold rather than hidden place in the website - this is misleading! they should at least reduce the price or offer us another compensation - breakfast for instance? we were offered to go to another hotel which was more than 2 Km away. THE ROOM - premium room was very uncomfortable. There are 3 stairs inside the room. A friend of mine fell from these stairs, luckily he didn't need any medical help. The glass door in the shower was broken and the floor was full with water all the time. The air-condition didn't function very well, although set to 19 degrees it was very hot in the room and we had to open the window to cool the room a little. The room is very close to the road and VERY noisy!
눇The stuff were very nice and willing to help. The location is great.

눉The 'sky bar & rooftop' was closed for maintenance but I wasn't pre-warned about it (a guest I spoke to was pre-warned). I asked for a quiet room but was placed in a room at the front of the hotel where there's quite a lot of street noise, when I asked to be moved, it wasn't possible. The elevators use a key card system which sometimes didn't work, both for myself and other guests.
눇Fantastic location. Well maintained. Staff are friendly.

눉I am not a fan of negative comments but I unfortunately did not like the hotel. There was a huge sewage smell at the room, especially at the last night I could not even sleep. There is no wardrobe. There is no shelters for luggage. I have been additionally charged for taxes around 10 euros (for 3 night) which is not written at booking.com. It is written a hetero-friendly hotel at the definition but there are naked-men-couple photos literally everywhere. By the time we started to feel uncomfortable with my girlfriend.
