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.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We plan to return there on our future stay.
The room was amazing in so many ways but some times the sounds from the revelers in the plaza came in to the room.

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.

This is an excellent location and excellent attention to detail needed for a great stay experience.
Friendly, helpful with directions, wonderful included breakfast, great location to get to metro to go anywhere, very comfortable room and up to date bathroom.
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.

Wonderful boutique hotel in a great location
Wonderful small boutique hotel in a fabulous location if you want to be near Gotic, El Born and Beach. Quiet rooms even though you’re a stones throw from La Ramblas.
Rooftop bar, staff, room, cleanliness

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 :)

Romantic but good family time location was perfect
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!
5 July 2023
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.

Noisy neighbours on the square in the early hours

Wonderful stay!
Excellent location, big rooms, well designed, and very helpful staff. Organised airport taxi and an early breakfast for us too. Had seen some reviews saying it was a bit noisy due to overlooking Plaça Reial, but we no issues at all, the windows had great soundproofing!
