The staff are all happy and friendly, it’s top class without having any airs or graces- it’s relaxed and one of our favourite places in the world.

Everyone is super helpful and friendly, and they all go out of their way towards making your stay enjoyable.

The hotel is in a fabulous location for restaurants and attractions.

Service is 5 stars, hotel is 4.5 stars, rooftop bar 5 stars, location 6 stars.

It is well located across from the harbour, it is clean, has lovely and large rooms, had a king size comfortable bed with good pillows and nice linens, and we fully recommend it.

The hotel is in a lovely position near to Port Vell and there are many good restaurants nearby.

The location is fine with a terrific roof top bar overlooking the harbor.

Everything from the wonderful location, cleanliness and above average customer service!

The hotel is in a well maintained old heritage building, in a perfect location between the gothic quarter and the water front/beaches.

The location of this hotel is great - walking distance to beach, on the edge of the Gothic district, close to Picasso museum, Barcelona cathedral, walking distance to La Sagrada (longer walk),  close to Metro trains and tons of shopping,  bars and restaurants.

Fantastic location easy walking distance to beach and city locations.

The location of the hotel was really convenviant.

Its located in Barri Gotic and close to our favourite district El Born.

Not only is this hotel in a wonderful location, it was exceptionally clean and very well run.

All that plus an excellent location, good rooms that can also accommodate a family, etc.

Great location on the port view side of the Gothic.

Reasonable prices for the quality 
Very helpful and pleasant staff 
Very comfortable and nice rooms 
Convenient location 
The children and grown ups three generations all very happy.

The room was clean, bigger than expected, there was champagne waiting for us.

The rooms are comfortable and well appointed.

The Premium room was spacious and was ideal for us .

Our room was extremely comfortable and the breakfasts were very good.

They informed us it had arrived and placed it in our room!

The room was magnificent- and perfect for the last part of our vacation.

The rooms are beautiful and I can highly recommend this.

The rooms are good, we stayed in the new part of the hotel.

The hotel was beautiful, in a lovely old building and with a very comfortable room and great service.

Large, clean room with a balcony overlooking the marina.

This place feels quite new from the lobby to the room.

Family room was very spacious- 2 proper beds for the children.

Everyone from the front desk to the restaurant to the people who cleaned the rooms were extremely polite and accommodating.

However the pools are hilariously small and any room located near the service elevator is probably pretty noisy in the morning.

But our room was small, with no view, the window overlooked an alley and had a curtain pulled shut for privacy, which made the whole room dark.

Only disappointment, was the room was a little small for the price paid - not like those pictures.

The hotel is small and only has 30 rooms.

The hotel offered a room for three adults and a fair rate (though the room was a bit small and had limited drawer/closet space.

Our room was very small and felt congested.

If you get a high room and a small tree you are set!!

The terrace in the room was too tiny to use

The rooms are small and very dark with just a small glass door for light and you can see the man in his bed opposite in the run down apartments.

The room we had was tiny and with a view straight into the neighbours flat.

As far as arriving and departing, we were able to leave our bags with the concierge when we arrived far too early to check in.

Staff was always at hand to help with luggage , hail a taxi , help with getting around the city !

The reception staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

The hotel is great particularly the staff.

We were so warmly greeted by Emilio and during our four days stay, he was a continual resource.

Breakfast was delightful- both attendants were wonderfully helpful.

The reception team are exceptional, especially Enrico, who went above and beyond to make our stay an absolute pleasure.

Immediately on arrival, we were welcomed by Ruben and Mar.

The reception team are great too and couldn’t be more helpful.

There is music late at night on the roof and noise in the street,

but we were on the first floor, which was a bit noisy from street and sidewalk traffic.

Our room was very nice even facing the busy road and could hear noise,

The only negative would be that the front rooms facing the street can be noisy, however I knew this would be the case,

There was a very narrow balcony with the only room to stand with no seeds or table there was a very narrow balcony with only room to stand with no seats or table However as I mentioned above we could not open this door at night due to the road noise.

However the double glazing blocked completely all sound from the street.

The only thing I would change is to stay on a higher floor next time (I was on the 2nd floor), as the noise from the street below me carried into my room when trying to sleep my last night.

though we overlooked a sometimes busy street we barely heard any street noise with the dual windows.

Our room was unfortunately located above that street which was very noisy at night

Although we were warned that night noise is high in Barcelona we would have wished that our room would have been more protected from street noise which never seemed to stop

We were on the second floor facing the street so it got a little noisy at times.

but the glazing meant that we couldn't hear the noise from the road at all.

If you put two suitcases on the ground then you don't have much space to walk at all. But my biggest issue was the noise from the street (Barcelona is loud everywhere!)

Lower floors I expect suffer from some street noise later as the bars stay open until the early hours

The location for us was perfect.

Ask for a sea view room as the rooms on street can be quite noisy.

.. forward facing rooms get some road noise and unless you are on the top floor, the trees obscure the views of the marina.

Nice balcony/sitting area just outside our door, overlooking the lobby and out at the moored boats.

Large clean rooms, quiet property, beautiful rooftop and wonderful views I cannot say enough good things about this Hotel and its staff.

We had drinks and dinner on the rooftop, enjoying the beautiful views of the Barcelona harbor.

The rooftop bar and dipping pools are amazing with sweeping views of the yacht harbor, ocean in distance, gondolas, etc.

The roof terrace/pool and bar area had great views over the marina definitely worth a visit.

The hotel is clean, located in a very convenient location, you have a great view to the harbor and La Rambla is just a block or two away.

Particularly the roof terrace restaurant is a must see, perfect views and very good food.

Stunning views and dj’s make the night simply perfect.

Amazing rooftop view, the pools are rather small

The location was all ready walk to the sea and Gothic quarter!Quarter!!

The hotel staff were excellent, the hotel food was excellent, the hotel itself was excellent and very nice and clean, the hotel rooftop bar was an excellent touch with a great view.

This time we got room no 11 with a nice view to the harbour,

Our waterfront facing room had double pane windows so very quiet at night, even with fun loving groups walking by at all hours.

Nice rooftop bar with view over the harbour.

It is located right in the middle of Barrio Gotico, so you are about 5 minute walk from Las Ramblas, and to the Arc de Triomf, Parc de la Citadella and Placa Catalunya where you can get transportation to anywhere, be it tourist buses or airport bus.

From there, it’s a short walk (5 mins, if that) to the Arc de Triomf Metro station.

The bar on premises is closed on Sunday's and Monday's which is a bit of a bummer

Travelers tip 2: when planning your activities in Barcelona, keep in mind that many places are closed on Sunday.

The elevators, halls and rooms feel closed.

We had the drapes closed for privacy most of the time so the room had a cave-like feel to it.

but be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The area is then closed for an hour, allowing the staff to remove breakfast and ready the area for the rest of the day.

We had the "city suite," and it was huge when the sofa bed was closed.

We didn't make use of the downstairs area as it was closed during our stay -

At 11:30, breakfast closed and an extensive choice of snacks, salad, soup, and drinks were available - all at no extra cost.

but once the doors to the balconies were closed, you could not hear a thing.

Because it was a holiday, many sites and restaurants were closed.

The kids did not like the fact that the sliding door separating the bathroom and bedroom did not close fully due to the design of the hanging rail around the wall which meant the door had no lock and a very small gap was left when closed.

however our adapter kept falling out when we closed the safe door.

Unfortunately, the restaurant next door was closed 2 of the 3 nights I was there and  I did not have a reservation for the first night.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed while we were there,

The bedroom was dead quiet and so dark that it became too easy to sleep too long.

A bit concerned because the photos showed what appeared to be a dark (red walls) & smallish room.

I would recommend an upper floor as the 1st floor is a bit dark (and I was on the 'city view' side) and noisy if you have your windows open.

Everything was dark red and black not very inviting in my own personal view.

The only thing to note about the room is that it’s a bit dark and faces the street.

If I had one nit-pick it's that the room was rather dark, and there was an area of the room that wasn't lit at all.

My husband was able to sit up and watch tv while I went off to sleep in a dark room.

but to get to hotel you had to walk about 3 blocks  down a very dark narrow street/alley.

You can make the room as bright or dark as you want with the roll down blinds.

Perhaps the most important is that there is no clock that can be read in the dark so it is impossible to know the time with the shades drawn unless you turn on your cell phone.

but very dark due to red and black decor and lack of enough natural light.

Lighting could have been better as the bedroom was a little dark.

Rooms in the A part comprise 2 parts: a bedroom with bath facing the vertical gardens (very quiet,but a bit on the dark side) and across the floor a small living area with a hammock (this side faces a small road well frequented also in the night).

At first the bedroom feels a bit dark as there are no windows,

although this view and red colour of bedroom make this place rather dark.

The main reason I could not give it 5 stars was because the room was so dark with harsh lighting and it got very little natural daylight which kind of spoilt the experience.

First of all the staff are super friendly and welcoming and the hotel is super calm and quiet.

Casa Happy Camper- the staff is extremely friendly and they go out of their way to help.

Friendly attentive staff who speak English well.

Staff were all always friendly and helpful.

The rooftop terrace offers stunning views and the friendly staff ensures a memorable stay.

The staff at the front reception were warm, friendly, and very helpful!!

Perfect location in the old city, close to Plaça Catalonia and Rambla

The hotel is close to restaurants , market and many shopping stores…

The personnel are extremely friendly and helpful.

The service was excellent – friendly and professional.

Extremely convenient location, very quiet room, and very friendly and helpful staff.

The front desk and restaurant staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The (complimentary!)

Very friendly & helpful staff and quiet accommodations.

First of all, the front desk staff was amazing - they were very friendly and helpful.

The rooms are great, the front desk always had suggestions (and they are unbelievable friendly), while the breakfast was simple, it was nice having fresh made omelettes every morning.

-Staff: Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

The staff were so friendly an helpful with restaurants,  sites an any questions we had.

Great location just a few blocks from La Rambla and the market.

The location three blocks off La Rambla, very convenient.

Location, location, location just minutes away from La Rambla with easy access to shops, restaurants and transportation nearby.

Short walk to La Rambla and Plaza Cataluna.

It is conveniently located near La Rambla and other attractions.

The location of the hotel is perfect - on a quaint side street just off  La Rambla a stones throw from Plaza de Catalunya which is a main hub.

Location is perfect too—-just close enough to La Rambla

The hotel’s location was very convenient, with the Plaça de Catalunya, La Rambla, and Passeig de Gràcia all within walking distance.

Reasons to stay here:
-Location: You're a mere 5 minutes away from La Rambla, La Boqueria, and the metro.

This hotel is in a quiet street in El Raval, a two block walk to La Rambla.

Centrally located, you can walk to most major sites (La Rambla was only two blocks away), with local cafes and wonderful restaurants nearby.

The hotel is in an excellent location - just steps from La Rambla with lots of nearby restaurants, cafes and shops.

but this one was exceptional, and we enjoyed the short walk to La Rambla and all of the nearby restaurants, shops and cafes.

This hotel is in the perfect area on a very quaint, small picturesque block, near La Rambla - I can’t say enough about the staff - Milos Vlad Angelica Daniel - so helpful !!!

Perfect location, just a few minutes off La Rambla, 10 minutes walk to the Aerobus airport transfer and a perfect spot to explore all around Barcelona.

); the rooftop bar (with complimentary soft drinks, of course) is a good place to unwind after a day on the go; the location - very near to La Rambla,

It was just a few minutes walk to La Rambla so the location was good too.

Rooms are comfortable, beds large and will ensure a good nights sleep.

The morning shift woman who checked us in (sorry I can’t recall her name) was so helpful in helping us determine what to do while we are waiting for our room to be ready.

Check in both times was really good and the second time we got our room at 10am as there happened to be a room ready.

Rooftop honor bar is awesome and I love the fact that the separate some of their hotel rooms from sitting areas so that a family can have one person napping and another watching tv

They also brought our luggage to the room despite us mentioning that we can do this on our own.

BUT what makes it an EXCEPTIONAL hotel is the level of service, professionalism, hospitality and friendliness of ALL the staff (front desk, breakfast room, etc.).

The room felt like an apartment with plenty of space.

The shower is also incredible and the room was very spacious and pleasant.

I loved that we had 2 separate rooms - 1 for sleeping with washroom and 1 across the hall for relaxing with seating area, tv and hammock !!!

New, modern, lots of amenities - plus little fun quirk (hammocks in some rooms, key card on lanyard, loooong row of hooks for hanging things on in the room, "honest bar" on the roof top where you serve yourself and just make a note to be charged).

Rooms are quiet, spacious and well maintained and stocked.

The separate sitting room allowed my insomnia-prone wife a place to watch TV and relax without bothering me.

We had a king room and it was large and well planned.

The hotel, room, and staff were all excellent.

The room we were in was much larger than many European hotels.

A unique hotel to host us where we actually experienced generosity and sincere hospitality.

The front desk staff was both helpful and gracious.

The staff are all excellent and always able to assist with any request.

The staff is very helpful, and English is not an issue.

The staff make your visit to Barcelona easy.

Just everything about the place is great - Terrific location - the front desk staff is so professional and helpful in every way.

Great intro tour from the hotel receptionist to show us all the facilities.

Staff is extremely pleasant and efficient.

Incredible service by the professional and attentive staff.

The hotel staff are incredibly nice and eager to help you with anything.

but they always had a smile for us and nothing was too much trouble.

The team behind the desk are really helpful and go above and beyond to make your stay as good as it can be.

There are soft drinks and snacks available all day I think and there’s a really lovely roof terrace with an honesty bar.
