This hotel was clean and comfortable but would not say its a good value. Its up there in price with a great location to walk to much of the Gothic District bars and restaurants as well as easy walk to the Rambala and familia cathedral as well as the Gaudi museums. The roof top bar is nice. Closes at 2300 but pool closes at 1900. WiFi was good. The AC is OK. It will not cool below 21c so the room was a bit warm at night. Its busy location so keeping window open is too loud to sleep. Overall, we felt that it was not a great value for the money

The hotel was clean & the room was decently sized with comfortable bedding and plenty of clean towels/robes. There was never a shortage of staff around and everyone that we encountered was super helpful and friendly. There did seem to be some confusion with the organization system for the pool bed reservations. I'd recommend reserving the day before if there is a time you are thinking you may want to go. It's definitely worth spending some time up there if you're looking for a mid-day break to your activities. Great views and plenty of sun up there.

They start your stay with a complimentary champagne. The rooftop bar/restaurant with the infinity pool over looking downtown Barcelona was worth a visit. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of Cava wine to enjoy with our dinner along with the room upgrade. One of the best breakfast buffet in all of Europe hotels I have stayed in. The staff we're all awesome. Loved the turn down service specially the little treats they leave for the guests.
