8.2(2668)4/10 Extremely disappointed
Arrived last night after a long ferry journey from Italy. When we arrived at the port we couldn’t find a taxi so my husband rang the hotel to ask if they would help. A very rude man told him no and to find our own way. We don’t speak the language and were very lost and distressed. A long time later we eventually arrived.
The room was clean I had a bath. I’m a small person and the bath towel was like a thin large hand towel, too small to cover me. I’m disabled and there are no handrails so very dangerous for me.
The lift to the room is tiny and today a man working here forced my motorised wheelchair, without my consent, into the lift making it very difficult to get out the other side. Getting into the room is also extremely tight. If there is a fire here I would not be able to escape!!!
We paid €1500 for 6 nights. “Breakfast” 2 small crossants and a cup of coffee was “complimentary” this morning. But not any of the other mornings.
We wanted dinner last night but only room service was available and the hotel would ring OUT for it!
The room was too cold with air conditioning last night. There are no instructions on how to use so we turned it off. So instead the room became too hot.
After breakfast we came back to our room to shower. ALL the towels were gone. The room wasn’t made up but someone came in and took our towels.
I’m in my room right now so upset because I’m so distressed as to how I can get out of the hotel in my wheelchair via the lift.
Also we were told there is free coffee in the machine any time we like. My husband tried to get some and the machine asked for money.

7/10 Convenient stopover after a cruise to enjoy all that Barcelona has to offer.
Great location for shops, restaurants and sightseeing. Also close to Plaça Catalunya for transport links and airport bus. It is close to the Carrefour on the Rambla and a couple of places for breakfast. There is a lift to the upper floors and a water dispenser in the lobby. There was a plug on each side of the bed for charging electrical items

10/10 Such a beautiful hotel and great staff, very helpful
The location was excellent - so much to do just outside the door. The bed was very comfortable and my husband and I both had a great night's sleep. The hotel decor was exceptional and very high quality. Only issue was I was running late for pickup and didn't get pictures for my photo book. Would loved to have gotten photos of hotel as well as the plaque outside the door on the sidewalk.

7/10 Nice hotel near the heart of the action.
Venue is located in a quiet side street just off a main thoroughfare. Location is great as you can walk to restaurants, markets, shopping and sights. Room size was great with a big double and single in room.

7/10 Rooms not as shown on Booking.com
The room we were given was nothing like what is shown in the photos. 1/3 of the size, it was like sleeping in a shoe box. The room shown on Booking.com is actually a Junior Suite so it was very misleading.
The shower was excellent, as was the location. Bed was comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional
The lobby has beautiful architecture and the location is so great to walk everywhere. It’s close to the metro with plenty of food and shopping options nearby. The staff was very helpful in arranging taxis for us. It’s very reasonably priced. The rooms were comfortable and clean.

1/10 stay away!
The staff member overshadows the entire experience. unprofessional, rude, and not knowing how to deal with people. The room furniture is very old. The bathroom and room service are very comfortable. location excellent.

8/10 Great Hotel
We really liked this hotel. The situation is perfect, just off la rambla in a quiet street. A couple of really good restaurants beside the hotel meant we could stay off the busy streets.
The hotel is historic and elegant. Spotlessly clean. Quiet at all times. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. We had a lovely welcome from Enrique. I think the lady in the back office may be a bit stern but I think is a nice person and perhaps draws a few poor reviews but I think is a sincere person. We didn't have breakfast because of the booking system but not a problem because cafes so close by. We would recommend this hotel and we hope to come back to Barcelona again and would definitely stay here.The situation is unbeatable and was good value for money. Winter will be better than summer in Barcelona and in January temps were 18°C.

8/10 A good option
The hotel is very well maintained, located in a side street a short walk from the La Rambla and a 10 minute walk to the nearest Metro. Our room on the third floor, accessible by lift, had a comfortable bed, a view over a little laneway, adequate storage space with a safe and a modern bathroom. Breakfast is not included in the tariff although a modest continental breakfast is available, subject to filling in a form the night before. A variety of tapas are also available in the bar. There are also several small cafes opposite and a few doors down from the hotel. Staff are helpful and friendly - Enrique was happy to assist with reservations, etc. All in all a very good choice.

This was my second visit to this hotel. Both times have been great. Rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. We arrived early and they were happy to store our luggage whilst we explored the city. They had everything we needed and I wouldn't hesitate to return again.

10/10 Excellent
The location is top of the top - near the main street, very close to busses, metro, bikes, whatever you need for transportation around the city.
The room was more than enough for two people - very clean and tidy. The beds are good enough, although they were a little soft for my taste.
