My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a nice view of the main street, but the amenities were quite basic. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond with their helpfulness. The location was perfect for exploring Barcelona, right in the heart of the action. The dining options were decent but could use more variety. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of my stay.

The hotel is situated in an excellent Barcelona location, perfect for exploring the Gothic quarter and being within walking distance to the beach and Las Ramblas. The rooms were a bit uncomfortable due to the air vent noise and the lack of proper cooling which made it hard to sleep, despite being supernice enough to quickly arrange an extra blanket when informed about the cold. however, the location compensates for the dining experience. Overall, a good value for the unbeatable location with some room for improvement in room amenities and dining offerings.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and considerably large compared to others in the area, featuring queen beds. However, there was a strong smell of someone smoking weed, and the response from the reception about it being a non-smoking hotel was not ideal. The location was excellent in the Gothic quarter, close to La Rambla and the harbor, perfect for exploring the area.

I could see the beautiful view from my French doors and walkout balcony, and the room was reasonably quiet with a big bathroom and comfortable beds. The pillows were slightly uncomfortable, but there was plenty of storage space, a safe, and pretty good wifi. The room did get a bit stuffy after being out all day due to the room key requirements for running it. The availability of single beds that could be joined was a nice option, although they were not very close together because the floor was MDF parquet and a bit slippery.
