plaesent hotel, nice rooms with all you need, the bathroom needs a little work but those buildings are old so is normal, they are high maintenance. Employees very nice, the little pool with terrace is a plus, the amenities at the hotel were well take off, love this hotel. Location was great, just a minute to the Arc of Triomf, many good restaurants around and also walkable to the Palau de la Musica

“What a fabulous little hotel!”

We stayed here for three nights in late September 2024 and fell in love with the place the minute we walked through the door. Reception staff are attentive (we had had a few queries prior to our departure from home which were dealt with speed and professionalism) and we were soon in the lift and on our way to our room. The accommodation was spacious, with a bathroom so large it had separate bath and shower facilities! Having taken a walk around the surrounding streets in the evening (and eaten at the wonderful Sophie Gastropub almost next door (see separate review)) we returned to the hotel bar for a nightcap. Breakfast the following morning was varied and plentiful (small amounts available on view which were replenished swiftly by the lovely attentive staff) , and left for a day of exploring content.

“Disappointed”

Room 311, from November 3 to 6: * Only two electrical outlets in the room - one by the desk and the other by the door close to the floor. One other outlet in the bathroom. * Cannot control temperature in the room. * The room’s hardwood floor feels gritty, as though there’s fine sand on the floor. … more

Room 311, from November 3 to 6: * Only two electrical outlets in the room - one by the desk and the other by the door close to the floor. One other outlet in the bathroom. * Cannot control temperature in the room. * The room’s hardwood floor feels gritty, as though there’s fine sand on the floor. * The bottom of the shower is not well sealed. Bathroom floor gets wet. * Two small elevators. One is only capable of accessing even floors. * Four lighting fixtures in the room - one on each side of the bed and two wall sconces that cannot be turned on or off separately. Both have to be on or off. * Water leak on 7th floor. * Small pool is not heated. Gym equipment is not user-friendly. * Seat cushions on chairs in courtyard are wet from previous day’s rain. * Staff members are courteous and helpful. * Breakfast buffet is very good, plenty of choices. * Grateful to be refunded for remaining nights for checking out early. In my opinion, the facilities, furnishings and amenities do not justify a 4-star rating. Not good value for €270 a night.
