Bed super comfortable and huge, in the compless everything was really nice.
It felt like “bunker” if you don’t get the rooms with the view.

Location in central Barcelona.
Amenities and complementaries. No tissue in the room other than for toilet paper. No water in the room, water/coffee/tea was only said to be available in the “common room” yet whenever we went they weren’t available except for coffee. The cleaning services was not the best, the floor was still grainy and dirty after the cleaning team passed by. Sound proofing was also horrible. You could hear everything. And the metro passed under the hotel so the whole room would shake aggressively every 15 minutes. Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bad hotel, but when you around 200$ a night you expect better.

My final day in Barcelona and Spain it was a luxurious and comfortable stay with very helpful staff
the room was spacious and the decor elegant. The bed was so comfortable and cosy. The only downfall was the room was located on the street front and the traffic was quite noisy until late in the night.
The noise of traffic until late at night.

Good location but needs a bit of improvements
In a central location. the hotel is in a central location and it is easy to get around because it is next to bus stops, near hop on and hop off bus stop and subway station. coffee machine and biscuits in common area is handy. air-condition works well and there was no bed bugs. we were able to store our bags with the reception and the staff was very friendly.
They have hot water/tea/coffee available in the common area but no cold water. The room was clean but there is dust on the picture frames, bed heads. there is no tea or coffee facilities in the room, no iron or cupboards in the room. The hotel front door glass is broken which makes the place look run down. during our stay the alarm went off the first day and could not be turned off for a long time. and the next night there was no water in the rooms as the cold water was broken.

Location was PERFECT! Room was clean and comfortable.
Unfortunately could hear the metro rumble, luckily our travel sound machine covered it. Room was also VERY TINY, but we were only there one night so it was fine.

Great location!
The location was great, just around the corner from Casa Batllo. The bed was comfortable and shower pressure was good.
The room was a bit difficult to lay down 2 large suitcases.

An amazing long weekend in a gorgeous hotel!
The property is beautiful! The room was stylish and we were surprised to find we had a private little terrace. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and accommodating!

Comfortable short stay
Clean and comfortable. Great location. Friendly staff. Delicious coffee machine available in lounge. Things to note- if you’re a light sleeper you can hear the humming of the underground train and the glass door to the bathroom doesn’t provide much privacy (there is a toilet in the lobby if you need), and no space between twin bed. All not an issue to us but just to note for your booking.

Beautiful boutique hotel in a great location that’s central but not over run by tourists
Nothing! It is a bit noisy with the train underneath if you are a light sleeper

Very nice hotel at the heart of the city center!
Loved the location, very kind and helpful stuff, super clean room and comfortable bed! Extra bonus the great shower supply post a long walking day!
As many buildings in the town, we struggled a bit with the smell that comes of the bathroom tubes especially if you don’t open the room’s window. Also, there is not super free space for your luggage if you are staying for multiple days. Both points I consider minor bs the full offered package. Still, what I consider important is the price. This is an area where overall Barcelona accommodation owners need to revisit as it is highly overrated compared to other cities in Spain.

Very good
The room was lovely and spacious - we loved the terrace! Location was absolutely amazing! We recommend anyone to stay here!
The only issue was the bathroom did have a slightly damp/strange smell at times but was not a massive problem.

Great location for train to airport
Fantastic for being so close (1min walk) to Passeig de Gracia station for the train to the airport early in the morning and being in an area with nice shops and restaurants with a feel like the Ramblas, but not as busy. Just around the corner from the beautiful Casa Batlló.
Penalty is that there is a quiet rumble heard in the room (front facing) from the trains running underground nearby. Didn't bother me, but if a poor sleeper, may want to consider.

Very good location, most of the major sights can be reached on foot. Beautiful old, restored building, Comfortable beds & nice shower.
Extremely inefficient check-in process - we had to wait approx. 30 minutes, eventhough there were only 4 parties before us, and sign 3 paper forms before we got the key card. In our 1st floor room, we could hear a rumbling sound whenever a train was passing below the building. Coffe was for free, but only decaf available. I booked two separate beds, but we got a double instead.

Great place to stay in a great location.
Location was very good. Near public transportation and places of interests. Friendly staff.

Not bad. Would stay again if I could find something else of comparable price.
The rooms were very clean.
There was a terrible smell of sewage in the main foyer of the hotel, plus the last two nights of our stay, the horrific smell somehow ended up in our room, as it seemed to come through the drain in the bathroom. I also think that the main entrance of the hotel could be made much more appealing. I will also say that our room was minuscule. Other than a queen sized bed and tiny desk, there was about 2 feet of walking space around the bed. That’s literally it.

No community outdoor space. No in room coffee machine although there is a very nice one near the reception desk. You can hear the rumbling from the subway. If you are a light sleeper, this could be an issue.

Great location near public transport to airport and train station and right in the Passeig De Gracia area where restaurants are plentiful.
Couple more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels would be nice, otherwise perfect and would definitely return again.

Beautiful, modern, comfortable
Perfect location in the heart of Barcelona right around the corner from Casa Batllo. Beautifully designed rooms with ultra comfy beds, high ceilings, and lots of storage space. Staff were friendly. Great having an elevator for the higher floors.
Missing a few non-essential things (clothing iron, trash can in main room). Mini fridge items were extra. They're not cleaning the walls, which is normally fine, but there quite a few water/fluid marks.

Nice hotel
We recently stayed at this hotel and had a pleasant experience. The bed was extremely comfortable, which made for restful nights. Although the room was on the smaller side, it was perfectly adequate for our needs. Despite being situated on a busy avenue, the noise was never an issue thanks to the well-insulated windows. The location is fantastic, just 200 meters from Casa Batlló and Rambla de Catalunya, where there are numerous restaurants to choose from. It's also conveniently close to La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya.

Wonderful hotel, I would stay here again.
Great location. Casa Batllo and metro station is just around the corner. Can walk to Las Ramblas and good restaurants nearby. The room was spacious with a good sized closet and plenty of shelf space. Bathroom is also spacious, it has a walk in shower with full shower door and both a rain and hand held shower head. Excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. Beds were comfortable and very quiet at night. There is a free beverage station just off the reception.
More hooks in bathroom to hang towels/clothes would be nice. The reception desk is on the first floor, there’s stairs and an elevator to take you to ground floor entrance. The lighting in the stairwell however is dimly lit so be careful going down as I missed a step and fell.
