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

Great Hotel In Barcelona

This was an amazing hotel in Barcelona situated off the main street. Staff was very friendly and a solution oriented. If I had an issue, they took care of right away. I will stay here again in the future with my partner.
