Excellent hotel in all ways. We stayed for a night some years ago and were eager to return for longer. So glad we finally did. Especially as, this time, we were able to spend time on the roof by the lovely pool in the Catalan sun. And the in-house restaurant, Can Bo, was new to us and extraordinarily good. Very minor thing was that bathroom was great, just always a little shower spray spillage to mop up afterwards, despite our efforts to avoid this. But that’s nothing at all really when set against four very comfortable and luxurious days and nights.

Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful interior. Super close to anything and everything you may need from food, entertainment, shopping, pharmacy. The most kind and attentive staff always available to assist. Had one day where an elevators was out of order that created congestion in the lobby. Loved the calming baths in the spa and on rooftop. Delicious food and cocktails at the rooftop restaurant

Wonderful stay. Hotel is in the centre of Barcelona in a great location. The hotel was clean, friendly staff, super comfy bed, modern and had a great terrace with a pool and good food menu. Able to book the sunbeds on the terrace in 2 hour slots which enable all guests at the hotel to use them. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is very central and has a lovely roof top bar and pool. We found the room and bathroom to be quite small but it had everything we needed and were only there for two nights. Would have booked a larger room if we stayed longer.

Public areas are lovely, especially the roof terrace and pool - very welcome after a day of tramping the streets. Staff attentive and knowledgeable
