Great stay in Barcelona

Wonderful stay. Hotel is in the centre of Barcelona in a great location. The hotel was clean, friendly staff, super comfy bed, modern and had a great terrace with a pool and good food menu.

Lovely hotel in central location

We enjoyed our stay here. The hotel is very central and has a lovely roof top bar and pool. We found the room and bathroom to be quite small but it had everything we needed and were only there for two nights. Would have booked a larger room if we stayed longer.

Great location in the gothic quarter, a stone’s throw from lots of the sights and the waterfront. Room was small but very well equipped. Great blackout blinds. Well designed space for storage. Public areas are lovely, especially the roof terrace and pool - very welcome after a day of tramping the streets. Staff attentive and knowledgeable
