Good location with great transport links

Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a good location with a metro station directly outside and a 10 minute walk from Las Ramblas and the port. Rooms were a little dated but had everything needed for the stay including an iron. The view from the rooftop is stunning, especially at sunset. Don’t be fooled by the size of the pool though it is quite small, we didn’t use it but would be OK to cool off. Would definitely return and have recommended to others since our return.

Sin agua caliente, mucho ruido exterior

No tuve agua caliente. Estuve alojado en primera planta exterior y los cerramientos no deben ser muy buenos porque me despertaron ruidos durante toda la noche. Las almohadas no me gustaron.

The minute I stepped into the reception, I knew it was going to like my stay. The front lobby was spacious and so was our room. The room was modern and had the right storage room in the bathroom and in the room. The king bed was heaven as I slept so well even with my friend sharing the same bed. We walked to La Ramblas area and other areas. Would come back if visiting again.
