5 min walk from metro and Arc de Triomf on a walkable street. Great location. The staff were very friendly - let us check in ahead of time and we were able to store our luggage until our evening departure. Rooms clean and nicely appointed (we were on 1st floor, I heard they are redoing rooms on upper floors). Did not try breakfast - not much of a morning person. You can get espresso at the bar. Overall a very good experience.

I’m the kind of person that looks at most things with a glass half full. But have to say something about this hotel. The first night we were given a room were the air quality was so poor (lack of it) that I didn’t sleep. It was on the ground floor overlooking an alley so couldn’t open the windows. Next two nights moved to a room where the sewage smell was so strong from the bathroom we had to keep the windows permanently. Very overpriced hotel for the quality. (Coffee in the room consistent of instant packs and a kettle). Location is amazing but there are plenty of hotels around the area.
