POSITIVES ok this was one of my favourite trips in Europe...what a wonderful city!i had no idea about the hotel because it was a surprise trip organised by my cute girlfriend..when i learnt about the place i thaught "...far away from the centre..."

The hotel it's ok, it's not quite a 4 stars hotel, but the check in and out are very quick and easy, the staff is very polite and helpfull.

We stayed here for 3 nights after booking on lastminute.com. As others have said, it's not near the centre of Barcelona but it's less than 5 minutes walk to the station and only 20 minutes to town. Our room was lovely and clean with lots of light coming in and great views of the hills of Barcelona. The bathroom was... more

I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. After reading mixed reviews, I wasn't too sure what we were in for. The room was most importantly clean with a nice and modern bathroom.

My wife just came came back from a fantastic week in Barcelona and stayed at this hotel after getting a good deal with BA flights on lastminute.com. We arrived late at night and the taxi from the airport was about 30 Euros, about the same as other people have paid on here. The hotel is and looks very new and... more
