Surprisingly when we arrived at the hotel we weren’t even greeted by the two receptionists. Not even a good evening let alone a smile or a welcome phrase. Even though I did check online for which I had a confirmation email the receptionist kept insisting that I did not do so and wouldn’t even take a second to look at the email confirmation which I was trying to show him. Hence the check in took very long which we really weren’t very pleased to go through because it was almost midnight and we were travelling with kids. However the breakfast was good and the staff down there was nice and polite. Another thing which we didn’t expect was the construction that was going on at the hotel’s first floor where the breakfast room was located. The location of the hotel was good having a lot of dining options around. Wouldn’t praise the cleaning at all, the bathroom needs some deep cleaning. Overall I would not go back there if ever again in Barcelona.

Great hotel and so pleased with our find. Really great location near to metro stations and approx 15 mins walk down to the marina and 20ish mins to La Rambla. All staff on reception were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast delicious with lots of choice. Room was spotlessly clean and beds made up during our stay. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of going to Barcelona.
