    Disappointed not to be able to use the pools but there was drought across the region so understandable.

    Stunning building, well maintained and it smelled amazing. Fabulous rooftop bar with views right across the city and really friendly staff. An excellent spa too. Great breakfasts.

    I could not manage to turn one reading lamp off independently of the other one - I’m sure this was my incompetence!

    Everything! Our room was extremely clean and comfortable. The location was superb, right in the heart of the city. Breakfast was glorious, we could not have asked for anything more.

    Pools were closed due to drought Evening menu was limited and my various allergies exacerbated that fact. Room was small by UK standards but Barcelona is a magnet from tourists so room will be at a premium.

    Position of hotel on Les Rambles Quality of building , size and age was just smart Rooftop garden and bar was a great feature Staff were helpful and friendly Restaurant staff did respond to allergy issues.

    Corner hotel rooms are larger and have showers in bathtubs. The shower head is not located in a central safe position rather close to bath angled side

    Design of public areas (use of timber), excellent roof top bar and pool area, dining room good space options.

    To ve honest, there wasn't anything that was a problem.

    This was our second stay at the hotel in the past 2 weeks. Our stay this time was just as wonderful. The staff were amazing always friendly and helpful. You always felt welcomed. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We will stay here again when we return to Barcelona.

    The pools are still mandatorily closed which is such a shame. The lobby would welcome a new refreshed makeover in lighter colours. It is dark and heavily perfumed so didn’t invite chilling there or drinking at the bar.

    We love the location and our room was really comfy and quiet so we slept really well. The rooftop bar and chill out area is totally wonderful after a busy sightseeing day

    The shower was a little hit and miss with pressure but didn't take anything away from our stay

    Oh we had the most amazing time!! The hotel is perfectly situated and is just lovely. The bed we super comfortable and we slept very well. The room was gorgeous and the staff friendly. The breakfast each day was fabulous with lots of options. The view from the roof top bar was superb and the staff in the downstairs made excellent cocktails. We were thier for my husbands 40th and on his birthday there was a bottle of cava, balloons and cake!! I cannot cannot thank you all enough for that. We had the greatest time thank you

    The front reception lady with blond hair couldn't smile and was unfriendly. It was not pleasant dealing with her.

    I can mention very few, but when necessary, the price, which I find a bit high even with a discount, and the mechanical and unkind way the receptionists treat the guests was surprising.

    Nice hotel with spacious rooms and an unlikely central location. The bathrooms are comfortable, the hotel has a feeling of luxury from the reception through the corridors to the beautifully decorated rooms. The hotel even provided a nice surprise, which we thank them for!
