(Room 810) The view & Location, Very Friendly & supportive staff,Amazing shower with super strong water flow

Haitham Saudi Arabia

The staff were great and couldn’t do enough for us. Our room was upgraded, we could check in early and were left complimentary treats in our room throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Robyn Ireland

Honestly one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had, and I travel alot. From check-in, to the complimentary drink, fruit, complimentary champagne, all the extra touches were much appreciated. We got upgraded to a suite room, with a fantastic view of Placa Catalunya, large floor to ceiling windows, two TV's, hottub. Room service, food was great, fast, quick. If you have a car, this place is also great, because they have some parking alotted just below, as part of the public lot. Driving/parking in Barcelona is super difficult, so this was helpful. 60 sec walk to the beginning of La Rambla. 5-10 min taxi ride to La Sagrada Familia. Likely 10 min taxi ride to beach. La Rava a 5 min walk away. 90 sec walk from Gothic Quarter. Metro stop across the street. Just perfect.

Abdellah United Arab Emirates

Location and staff. special thanks to Mr. Emin for his contentious follow up to ensure very things is OK.

Mohammad Saudi Arabia

Everything is great as usual , in my opinion Olivia is the best 4 star hotel in Barcelona

Abdulmajeed Kuwait

Everything was perfect, the location, the amenities, and the whole staff, but a special thanks to Otman who helped us in the check in and during the whole stay. Otman is a phenomenal employee and one of the reason that made me rate the stay 10/10.

Fahad Kuwait

Location in the city centre with good connection to the airport (metro, bus), shops and famous shopping street behind the corner. Night life few steps from hotel. Top services in all aspects! Stuff was super friendly, specially team from reception will deserve extra bonus as they are top stars! we've had free upgrade to larger room, welcome drink and free champagne :) specially Emir (hope I remember correctly) was asking always whether we are satisfied and he did his best even calling us via hotel phone.

Richard Czech Republic
