Nice hotel but the pool is not actually a nice amenity at this property

Nice room. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very nice. The staff were excellent, very helpful in arranging a taxi and lunch recommendation

I think guests should know the pool is not a private pool for guests. Any person can buy a drink at the bar and go up to the rooftop deck which made the pool very uninviting. It was surrounded by young people smoking and putting their feet in the water. Very annoying

For a 5 star hotel the entrance was horrible. The lobby very small. Too expensive for what they offer. Some of the room were dirty and stingy with toilet paper. Load location.

Fantastic place to stay, in the heart of Barcelona!

Staff were amazing! Fantastic location! The room was designed nicely and very comfortable. Was great having some outdoor space.

Unfortunately we had some problems with the electrics meaning some of the plug sockets were not working.

Central, classy and super comfortable.

Lovely room, mega high ceiling, so nice bathroom. Superb location, in the middle of it all. Vibrant and always things happening outside, love that they put earplugs in the room. 😅 Great roof terrace🙌🏻 Friendly staff.

The pool was a bit shallow😅 Otherwise comfortable.

Beautiful central hotel, with friendly staff and fantastic comfortable, spacious room.

From the first warm welcome from the staff as i arrived - this was just a peek at how helpful and professional they were throughout my stay. One of the most friendly hotels I have ever stayed in.

The hotel is super central and in a beautiful old building where the rooms have been sensitively converted, and my room was so comfortable it was a wrench to leave each day.

Brilliant. Great breakfast.

Staff were amazing. Very helpful. Great location close to everything.

Because the hotel was close to everything this brought a lot of noise through the night. This certainly my wasn’t the staff’s fault and they did provide ear plugs and white noise machine

Loved it, expectations were exceeded.

The location was fabulous, the hotel was stunning, I don’t think the marketing photos I saw do it justice. Beautiful high ceilings, very clean and stylish. Lots of great attention to detail, e.g. personalised welcome note, chocolates and a helpful card to help you out with the lighting which was tricky to get right. Comfy bed, great view of Plaça Reial. I stayed on a Saturday night and could hear the lively goings on of the square with its restaurants and clubs which I didn’t mind at all. On Sunday morning I woke up to a very different view of the same, now subdued square, a quaint little market setting-up and unfolding. Reception staff were very pleasant.

I put the do not disturb button on but at 09:15 housekeeping were tapping away at my door. Unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish she was waving a room key but I couldn’t understand what she was saying. Aside from that, no complaints. Loved it, wouldn’t hesitate for a return visit.

Location was great. Staff was friendly and helpful providing tips and helping with arrangements.

The electrical in the room was strange and the wifi did not work various moments. Even though you feel safe, the homeless people sleeping/ staying near the entrance of the hotel is not pleasant.

Great Short Stay

Staff were excellent, friendly and extremely helpful. We had a great terrace with plunge pool,, sun loungers and a seating area. just a bit cold in February to make use of it. Just off the Ramblas in a square full of restaurants and of course a 1min walk into the Ramblas. Breakfast was self service, nicely set out . You were able to order eggs and bacon, plenty of croissant, bread, cheeses, ham etc.,

Unfortunately our room phone was not working, nor the safe. Mentioned this twice, but during our 4 day stay neither were fixed.

I would definitely recommend this stay, in terms of confort, location and attention to details. I would not recommend th

Wonderful service in the hotel and concierge - did not have the same experience at the restaurant- Every detail is super cured and the staff is available for any request.

We could not access the rooftop bar for the entire stay. The restaurant outside, part of the property has good food - unfortunately not the same for the service.

A very nice, well located option on Placa Reial

It was very well located, stylish, very clean and with a lovely breakfast.

It was noisy at about 6am. This noise was from outside. I assume some clubs may have finished up at this time. They do provide ear plugs but they don’t block it out.

Bar tenders were below average in drink quality It is noisy on the plaza but earplugs solve that problem (included in the room).

Stayed here in September 2023. Fantastic location, and fantastic staff. Barcelona is a beautiful city and this is a great spot to explore it from. Very clean hotel and vibrant area of city.

Be warned the square is busy until the wee small hours, if you can't sleep through the noise this might be a deal breaker for you, but I loved it. The pool on the roof is also more of a bird bath, you won't be spending your days up there.

Exploring Barcelona with friends

Location was great in the middle of lots of action, breakfast choice was reasonable,better if you were not a resident!! Hotel is a bit tired it needs a bit of a revamp, expected more of a five star hotel.The outside terrace is its saving grace,nice place to sit and have drinks & watch the world go by,although for the 5 days we are there they did not have tonic!!

The hotel lobby is very small with the bar area, & very warm with little or no air conditioning judt s large fan to keep you cool. The rooms & bathrooms are tired & need to be refitted. The pool is really just a foot bath for the pigeons and very unwelcoming, as is the roof top bar, very poor,not a place you would want to sit, poor facilities & not pleasant.

Brilliant hotel in a fantastic location, thoughful and professional staff, however quite expensive

The staff were absolutely amazing, super helpful and very accomodating. Special thanks to Henry & Beatrice who were extremely professional, friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Hotel was in a brilliant location with good metro links to visit the rest of the city. The hotel was clean and comfortable, the food we had for breakfast was very nice.

We felt that some of the facilities were a little bare minimum given the 5* status of the hotel. Only two coffee pods were provided each day. The rooftop pool was a nice touch but didn't look very clean due to the pigeons - although this would be hard to prevent! The bar drinks were lovely but very expensive compared to the surrounding options. We paid 35 euros for a double G&T and Whiskey which seems extortionate! Overall this didn't spoil the experience though!

Great location, friendly staff 24/7, spacious rooms.

The location was fabulous! Very central to everything! Room and bathroom were spacious. Desk staff were very friendly & helpful. Good soundproofing from noise in the communal square beneath.

Our bathroom lights weren’t working properly. They organised a repairman but he was unable to fix it. The cooked breakfast was nice but unfortunately by the time we got given it, it was cold. We did ask could they make it hotter but it never really came out hot! I drink black tea but the only tea available was flavoured tea.

Perfect Location, Comfortable Room, Great Facilities!

Location was perfect, breakfast was delicious and a nice choice, staff super friendly and happy to help with tours, taxis etc Roof top bar was nice for an early evening drink and nice pool for a dip! Love that they are trying to put back to the environment by planting trees when they collect days where guests bypass a days cleaning :)

The property is romantically looking overlooking the square. The staff were generous and welcoming. Very central location.

The noise in the square at night especially early morning. There is no avoiding it anywhere we just enjoyed the week!

Perfect location,

Loved the private pool, it needed a little tlc, but we asked for it to be cleaned and it was!! It probably should be covered when not in use and the pigeons use it as thier private toilet!

Only one minor complaint, and that was that I ordered a bottle of Prosecco as a surprise to the room on arrival… and we didn’t get it. The honeymoon moment was kind of mute after that… no point getting it as it was meant to be a surprise when we arrived.

Room was beautiful, good bed, clean room, good location. Very nice and helpful employees, they help you everything. We asks to have room longer to stay on last day, and they gave as discount (only if room is not booked and avaliable).

Breakfast was poor. only 4 options, no swedes table, and no barrier which divided area where guest eating, from other people how are passing by. Rooftop café could be renovated and make it elegant, swimming pool small, not good to use.

brilliant short getaway in the centre of Barcelona with great facilities and location.

the location, the rooftop terrace, the room was very private with pool, the atmosphere, brilliant staff, great breakfast

unfortunately too many pigeons on the roof made the private pool unpleasant as it was full of poo. I suppose that’s very difficult to avoid in the centre of a city.

Good but not great.

Location near the gothic quarter and the port. They arranged early check in which was appreciated. Upstairs terrace is a nice outside option. Air con.

Had to walk lots each day to see things. Probably better for us had we stayed near Placa Catalunya. Shower not clean and bathroom sinks with broken plugs. Reception person different everyday and we never heard back about a room question we asked one of them. We felt it was expensive for what it was. City tax or $6 a day each because the accomodation is '5 star' although I'm not sure I agree. In my experience this would be more 3.5/4 star experience. Noisy outside at night. With little way to reduce.
