This hotel was the finest we have ever stayed in! Pure class! From the lobby, the concierge thru to the breakfast area, spectacular. Dinner was wonderful as we enjoyed our wine and piano player. Excellent!

Staff was simply excellent. Friendly and available for all requests. The other highlights were the beds.... probably the most comfortable i ever tried. The location was also extremely convenient, one or two blocks away from all the major underground stations

“Full story of the worst honeymoon”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 4 nights
Ruined our honeymoon. After treatment we returned to the hotel and the staff had changed and seemed to have no idea of the accident. We said the room number and then they led us to a new room. We did not hear a word of sorry at this time. We felt so bad. So we carried the luggage ourselves. It was a very sad trip. Four days were missing during the 13-day honeymoon. On our honeymoon we had the worst experience. We have never had this experience anywhere. We ruined the rest of the stay because of the trauma. We couldn't go outside and suffer severe colds and pneumonia. My wife said she wanted to go back to Korea quickly. I was so sad that there was nothing I could do. Nobody came to our room. No one apologized. And it was a checkout day. We went to the hotel front and asked the female staff to check out. She did not seem to be aware of the accident. I asked her. Do not know about the accident that was in our room? She said. do not know. And spoke Spanish. I was really upset. At that time, There was a male staff who helped us check in. His name was Pablo Aldemira. He was the first and last person in the hotel who said sorry for the accident that had happened to us. He sincerely apologized to us. He gave me a business card to contact him about compensation issues. And we were compensated for the accident. In fact, compensation are not important. I think their actions are important. All but one employee disappointed us. It was a very sad trip. Four days were missing during the 13-day honeymoon. On our honeymoon we had the worst experience. We have never had this experience anywhere. We thank to Pablo Aldemira for helping solve the problem. And we demand reflection from all the employees who disappointed us that day. We will not visit this hotel again for life. The glass door of the shower booth can be broken by various phenomena. But trust between people should not be broken anymore.
It was the last hotel in Barcelona. We checked in and rested at the 'el palace' hotel. Around 8 pm my wife went to the glass shower booth for a shower. I accepted my wife's clothes and gently closed the glass doors of the shower booth. At that time, the glass door shattered with a popping sound just before it closed. Shattered glass fell on our bodies. Blood flowed all over my body. I checked my wife's condition and was bleeding from the ankle. My fingers were deeply smashed by torn glass and bleeding. There was a long scar on the thigh. The blood continued to bleed from various parts of our body. We decided not to panic. I put all towels on the floor and washed the glass fragments that had fallen on our body. The blood did not stop. Fortunately, no serious wounds required surgery. so I called the hotel concierge and asked for an ambulance that there was a serious accident. The staff did not understand English well. First of all, he sent housekeeping, and a female employee who did not speak English came. There is blood in our bodies. Nevertheless, the staff stared intently at the shower booth without thinking about an ambulance. I got angry and called the front desk again. Another employee came up. I asked him for an ambulance. We prepared to go to the hospital and came down to the hotel front. But the ambulance did not come after 15 minutes. We were waiting for an ambulance. Hotel staff murmured among themselves. My wife said that they were excited. No one asked us about our physical condition. Nobody tried to help us. Nobody told us sorry. No staff spoke English well. Nobody paid attention to us. This is the worst hotel, my wife and I said. We felt like strangers. It was racist. I called the Korean Embassy. We informed the hospital near the embassy, and we took a taxi ourselves and headed to the hospital. YES! The staffs did nothing. No ambulances came, no taxis. We took a taxi ourselves and went to the hospital.

No coffee maker in the room. Laundry services was wayyyy too expensive. 16 euros to wash one t-shirt is rediculous.
The hotel, staff and everything in this hotel was beyond excellent. I loved the topical rain showers in the bathroom. The sound proof windows were very comforting at nights and the hotel had a beautiful roof top bar and pool

Nothing. Everything was pretty good. We had a situation the last night with some smoke smell coming in the room through the ventilation system but i believe that was most likely a not so civil guest. I reported it to the reception and they said they would look into it
