I stayed 3 nights at this hotel, which is conveniently located within a 5-minute walk to La Rambla, a 5-minute walk to the subway station, and 15-minute walk to Barcelona Cathedral.

Reception very helpful, room very clean, nice swimming pool and terrace with amazing view of Barcelona.

This bed was fluffy, clean, soft and even the pillows were comfy.

The hotel is contemporary and very clean.

overall the hotel was clean and quiet, the only downside was the location, it was close the the cruise ferry

The room was perfect size, and everything was clean and prepared nicely.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, the staff was friendly, the helpfullness was very-very good, the breakfast tasty and rich, the traffic to and from the hotel was very comfortable, it was  also good thing, that we could left our baggage there affter check-out.

Rooms are very clean, well appointed and the beds and pillows are extremely comfortable.

The Hotel is modern, clean and the beds were really comfortable.

The room was bright, clean, and comfortable.

Friendly staff, clean and attractive no-nonsens design.

Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable.

the room is clean and the room is big and spacious.

The rooms (we had three) were stylish, comfortable and clean.

The hotel is clean and offers an expensive

Hotel and bedrooms were very clean and modern and the staff were very helpful and welcome.

Only: No mini-fridge and the windows could not be opened :/ (one we could tilt only).

I would have Liked a small fridge in the room,

Hotel furnished to high standard except for lack of fridges in rooms.

Price Quality Ratio not sufficient (namely 180 euro per night off season) : e. G. No tea/coffee in room, nor refrigerator.

The only recommendation I would have is a small fridge in the room to keep water cold.

Would say that it would have been nice to have a kettle and small Fridge in the room.

My suggestion would be to have a small refrigerator in each guest room.

Breakfast was not our cup of tea, a lot of sweet.

Only thing stopping this from being a perfect score was a lack of kettle and tea options in the room

Added to the cons, the room doesn’t have any mini refrigerator neither does it a brush for cleaning the toilet.

Also no kettle facilities in room and only shower gel provided was disappointing and I expected more.

I expected a small refrigerator and a kettle in the room.

but be mindful that they don’t include toiletries or drink making facilities & the room does not have a fridge.

The amenities of this hotel are basic and rooms don’t include things like ice buckets, a small fridge, or an iron and ironing board.

The only thing i would say it is missing is a mini fridge, it would have been good to put our bottled water in there

A few down points - no fridge or kettle in the room (though apparently you could hire a kettle from reception) and the rooftop bar was pretty crowded when we visited.

Firstly, other reviews say that the location feels a little unsafe,

Unfortunately, the hotel seemed to be the location of the homeless so lots of daily Police presence.

And you need a key to access the front door/reception area of the hotel, so it stops any non-hotel guests from just wandering in.

The location is awful and feels unsafe with children.

A homeless man was camped out directly in front.

The hotel is located in a slightly scruffy neighbourhood

The only thing that got me concerned was the location of the hotel because of the neighbourhood it was kind of strange and dangerous until 20:00 it is fine,

It’s walking distance to La Rambla, the Gothic quarter and various metro stations (Paral-lel, Drassanes), so great for sightseeing, 

Negatives:
The street where the hotel is located is quite rough, you can easily see a bunch of homeless people not too far from the hotel entrance, and I didn’t feel safe walking back to the hotel after 8pm.

Very bad location, drug addicts next to hotel, street from center to hotel is shady, dark and you may feel insecure.

We had no trouble at all with the area, there were a few homeless people sleeping near the hotel at night

For those making comments about the area being dodgy or unsafe we just don’t get that at all.

Seemed to be an area of vulnerability as there were some homeless around,

The area directly around the hotel can be a little intimidating in the evenings - it is a dodgy part of town.

however some what basic & a watch out for the neighbourhood.

There are homeless people in the area, as there are in other areas of Barcelona

The major issue with this hotel is the neighbourhood.

The floor makes a lot of noise so the neighbours downstairs can hear everything.

Located at the southern end of La Rambla, the property provides easy access to the Gothic quarter, Pl Catalunya, the Barcelona Cathedral, etc.

The room was kept clean and all hotel staff were friendly.

Rooms were clean, and breakfast was great.

The room is clean, tidy and renewed daily

However, the hotel was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the air conditioning efficient and it was in a prime position.

A clean, modern room with excellent black-out shutters, a refigerator, AC, and a room safe.

The hotel is located in a very good place and is very clean.

Room was generous in size and was absolutely spotless.

The hotel's attention to cleanliness and hygiene was evident, which gave me peace of mind during my stay.

Excellent hotel in a prime location.Very big rooms,very clean,very good breakfast,staff extremely helpful with everything you need.La Rambla is close to the main attractions,AC is working perfectly,I would definitely stay here again.

Room was very clean and house keeping did a really good job.

The hotel itself is modernist, spotlessly clean with an elevator for its four floors.

Superior staff, spotless, wonderful location and nice breakfast.

Though our room was tiny and not really conducive to doing anything

Some of the rooms are on the small side, some have a wall instead of a view,

The room was very small and noisy at night which made it hard to sleep.

Our room had one tiny window so would get very stuff and was of course always dark.

Our room was TINY with a tiny view of a wall.

Our room was on the 4th floor, small room

We stayed here at Easter for 4 nights and found that the room was very small.

The other was because I was given a smoking room and I am allergic to smoke.

She just shrugged us off and said they all knew each other and then said she will go back out and be with her ‘friends’ to really demonstrate her lack of care and actually went out to smoke another cigarette with this creep.

(Drain was smelly, blocked and shower not working).

My bottle of perfume was broken during room/ bathroom cleaning.

Arrived at the hotel late with 6 friends check in was fine arrived to our Room on the 4 th floor opened the door and there was a horrible sewage smell went straight back to reception to inform them they said they would send someone to inspect it in the morning once inspected they said there wasn’t a problem

You can hear more when they drain the sewers in the next room or higher.

Old and musty and god knows how long since they had been cleaned.

Rooms were nice and needed so touch ups like paint and mold between the shower tiles

There is absolutely no view except old buildings falling apart, there is a street right under your terrace where men gather during the night, smoke, have some kind of parties and keep you awake all night long!

The only down irritation was that the bathroom extractor fan seem to smell of tobacco smoke, i can only assume that someone was smoking in one of the other rooms and it was passing through the air ducts and out of the extractor fan.

La Rambla is loud, smelly, and dangerous at night.

Only had a shower in it and had to be extremely care not to touch the crossbar where the facets were because it was so hot you could get burned.

There are some weird smells here and there

There was a nasty smell in our room, in the corridors and sometimes in reception (an eggy drain type smell).

but don’t expect tea making facilities and there was an unpleasant smell in the corridors!

It is incredibly close to the Sants train station and walking distance to Citat Vella 
And the Barcelona Cathedral.

Very clean rooms, and there was minimal noise coming from the street outside.

Loved staying at this secure, spotless, central location in Barcelona.

A quirky Hotel - I like quirky 👍 The location to explore Barcelona is excellent  👍  The staff are super friendly and helpful 👍 The breakfast buffet is more than adequate 👍 The rooms are modern and clean 👍 The beds are conducive to a good night's sleep 👍 Have you noticed all the 👍👍👍 => 😊

Our room was very clean and comfortable, and we had a terrace with a view of the city.

The sheets, pillow, and bed were very comfortable and smelled very clean.

Clean, spacious, modern and really comfortable.

Rooms are very clean and spacious and the rooftop pool was great to relax after a day of walking around.

Clean and functional rooms with everything we needed.

Clean rooms, great staff - very helpful and friendly.

We cannot fault the hotel at all, the room was spacious and clean and the rooftop / pool was lovely.

The room was generally dark even the corridor despite having on all the lights On room.

But then you go to use the bathroom and toilet - it's very dark and suddenly the funky lighting doesn't work in your favour.

and the light of room was so dark and opened window was so narrow.

The hotel theme is modern, albeit a bit dark in places.

but light still comes through and around these so if (like me) you like a completely dark room you will notice this.

buttons, hot/warm lighting, and combinations (if you arrive tired and it’s too frustrating, remove the key card and it goes dark).

but lighting made the halls and room quite dark.

Decor was dark and corridors were unsettling as they are so dark.

Interior deco is a little dark, like a night club.

although I did find the lighting a little dark in the room.

My only complaints are the shower has a small glass partition that gets water all over the floor and the room can be a bit dark.

We booked a standard double room and it was a bit dark as the hotel is a high-rise building and there is not much natural light

The only let down was how dark the rooms were and sometimes the room smelt unpleasant.

Decor is minimalist and contemporary in neutral, dark colors.

I personally tried temporarily closing the window tightly, and I felt a significant reduction in the noise.

The sound insulation of the windows facing to the street was not good enough.

However, the front desk assigned me a room with an internal window.

Thankfully you can close the blinds on the window (if you find the

The blind in our room broke and we didn't have time to tell them in the morning, when we came back in the evening,  it was fixed.

The curtains also do not close all the way so sleeping in is difficult with the light.

but opening the window during winter was effective enough unless there are noise in the public on New Year’s Eve.

Heavy traffic makes the room a bit noisy with thin windows.

The door in the balcony did not seal well and street noise was quite loud at times.

but it had a pane of glass that extended across about 1/3 of the tub length.)

but has powered blinds that can be closed with the touch of a button.

The only thing to complain about is that you can not turn off the lights themselves in the window which are switched on and off automatically.

(-) 
- a bit niosy due to thin walls (door slamming from the neighbor rooms)
- limited view due to the post modern painted windows (schalosia style)

Your privacy is furthermore respected and noise from the streets is filtered by soundproof windows.

but bathroom should have had a shower curtain as water leaks to floor.

button near the sink that will close the blinds but there is no signage telling you and its in an odd spot.

The very cool miniblinds in the windows don't work--permanently.

Only things that would make this hotel the best would be to put blinds or a curtain on the shower glass wall, as in the bedroom you can see straight into the shower, as there is no privacy which wasn’t the best.

Also noted in other reviews, it was a bit irritating not being able to amend the blinds between the window panes.

Paid private parking on-site

The sagrada familia is also 20 minute walk and then you can walk from there to la pedrera and to barcelona cathedral from there to la rambla.

The room was clean and large enough for a family, with beautiful city views.

but it was spotlessly clean and comfortable.

Room was clean and the breakfast was wonderful.

My room was spotless and very comfortable .

The room was very clean as was the dining room.

Suits rooms are nice, clean and big enough.

Got here yesterday nice receptionist very polite offer us a free drink in rooftop bar and swimming pool the room was so modern everything you need all very clean can not find anything think I do not like metro up the road hundreds of shops across the road just come and stay you will love it still here till tomorrow 14 floor very quick lifts

Incredible views over the city, great lunch served in the room, impeccable and discreet service.

.Room is nice,clean and tid, staff was very proactive and discret.

The hotel was clean and check in was efficient.

The room was really clean and the staff were really helpful.

It’s a clean, functional and seemingly quite new hotel, with a fabulous view from the top pool/bar area.

Room was spacious, clean and well presented.

Your room key was needed to access the room floors in the lift and it could be temperamental which was annoying as I had to get the room key replaced a couple of times.

It meant you often got stuck in the elevator, stairs or even the hallway trying to gain entry to your room.

but not for kids

But please please please get the card readers in the lift fixed!

Longest checkin procedure in my whole life, no drinks or help with kids
Room is small, whole setup TV etc is very old - only local TV channels
Even toilet paper is one layer …
Elevators are noisy in the night 
Pool is small no space to sit, poorly planned/designed

as a diamond accor member we were put in the noisiest room of all (stay away from the elevators, which by the way are a complete mess).

WIth all that being said, make sure you don't get a room next to a lift.

Moreover, my room was near the elevators, so very noisy.

Has 3 lifts , one was broken on our last day ,

Only thing was we had a room next to a lift shift which did disturb us on the first night, we asked reception the following morning of we could change to a different room which was no hassle at all and done straight away.

The third experience was in the pool on the rooftop on 8 September no lifeguard was available or staff to give the towel or watch the pool safely to complete the worst experience when I try to go back to my room my key-card stop to working on the lift because automatically close my stay

but this hotel has a funny commercial policy, they charge you the room as if they were afraid that the customer who left a credit card imprint leaves at the end of the stay like a thief, and they do not sell a box of water greater than 50cl, in order to maximize the margin, there is an interminable wait to take one of the 3 elevators.

Elevators in this hotel are not easy to use.

but their insistence on formal dining and seating of patrons slowed things down massively, especially for me, as I was just looking for a yogurt and pastry),  stunningly slow elevators (they were never all working.  )

The lifts were an absolute nightmare, if they even came when you called for one.

Some upkeep needs to be done as there are elevator

Negatives: Elevators were terrible, cards didn’t work half the time nor did the left elevator.

For example: waits at reception are enormously long, there are insufficient elevators for the numbers of guests thus you must wait forever to leave the building, the rooms have a feeling of only mild cleanliness.

The shower smelled horrible, or at best due to pipe odor or fungus?

Filthy rooms , dirty carpet , air condition not working properly , terrible house cleaning .

This hotel is tired and feels dirty , the carpets in both hallways & rooms are dirty with cigarette burns in them making me feel like we always had to wear something on your feet.

It smelt very dusty, which made the entire room uncomfortable.

but the bathroom door opened directly onto the bed which is not necessarily very discreet (suffice to say the smell of someone using the loo is not going to help the other person relax).

Our room at water heat problems in the sense that the showers would nearly burn you and then would freeze you within 5 seconds without adjusting the temperature.

There was also a very bad smell in the bathroom (sewers).

For example, the joint around the shower was degraded to the point that it was cracked and moldy.

Then there is a bad smell in the hallway.

IN addition to that the drain cover consistently came off.

Horrible smell in the street and same in the room , in the bathroom .

The breakfast is terrible particularly that coffee machine is disgusting , plate and is not clean as you can spot the dirty.The door for the restaurant sometime is open , sometimes is not and it’s makes customer inconvenient.

but by day 3 smelt awful and didn’t get replaced.

however room smelt of mould as the carpet was damp and wet in areas as air conditioning leaks onto carpet.

Unfortunately the pool water is really disgusting, our young son didn’t want to put his head in the water-do so at your own risk.

Only really downturn: the public toilet at the roof top area - totally disgusting, needs to be cleaned much more frequently and trash bin emptied more often.

Even I, who am not too picky could smell that everything was not ok. We complained and asked for a new room.

Lobby suffered a severe odor across the entire week, not a very pleasant walk-in experience as well. Additionally, after upgrading our rooms to an "Executive" level, which appeared to be very basic in terms of facilities, size and overall design: room was fairly small, no special amenities, a tiny TV (what kind of hotels do that these days?)
