Great hotel and so pleased with our find. Really great location near to metro stations and approx 15 mins walk down to the marina and 20ish mins to La Rambla. All staff on reception were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast delicious with lots of choice. Room was spotlessly clean and beds made up during our stay. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of going to Barcelona.

Accommodating and Clean

Asked the receptionist about having my sister check into a room on the same floor as me, and they were able to accommodate. I would stay here again when visiting Barcelona as a solo traveler. The space was just right for one person and in a good location. Very walkable to notable sights like La Boqueria.
