Excellent stay in a great location in Barcelona. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and close to many attractions, restaurants, and public transport. The staff were outstanding — always friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout my stay. I also really enjoyed the evening show, and there were many fun and friendly people at the party. Highly recommended!

I stayed for two nights, was very impressed with hotel. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, especially Joquin on reception, I asked him if he could point me in the direction for breakfast, he personally took me to the restaurant, and carried my suitcase for me when I checked out. As I only stayed for two nights I put the do not disturb sign on the door as the room was fine, the cleaning lady was so nice, she came and asked if I needed any fresh towels. I would definitely stay here again.
