Hotel is a few steps away from the Centre of the small and quiet suburban town of Sant Cugat just 10 minutes away from the centre of Barcelona by car or 30 mins if you use the cheap and conveneient provincial light rail network (also known as the FGC) which runs fabout every 15 mins from early morning till midnight in both directions. The hotel is very sleek and modern 4 to 3 star hotel. Check in was swift, but no bell serivce so you need to move your own luggage (no big deal). Rooms are clean and comfortable with a modern, sleek and minimalist design and they are centrally aircondtioned. however they can be a bit small and closet space is limited. My only complaint is that the lobby music and lobby noises can be heard very well in the rooms and even though music is nice and loungey it is does play till midnight and that was very uncomfortable. Also street noises can be heard (at one point there was a concert in the monastery across the street that went on till 3 AM and we were unable to sleep because of the noise). Also walls are thin and at one point we were able to hear the snoring from the room next door! Its worth noting how helpful the night shift fornt desk staff were despite their limited english when my trvael partner got seriously sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. They called the paramedics and followed up with us upon our return from the hospital he next day. The hotel staff are generally very helpful although for guests who dont speak spanish like myself there were times when communicating with them in English got a bit tricky. The hotel has free wirless internet access and a reading area in the lobby with internet connected PC's as well. The hotel resturant offers 3 meals aday and their food is EXCELLENT, quite possibly the best food you can get in St. Cugat ! I suspect they change their menus regualrly but while i was there the Chicken maincourse and Salmon maincourse were the best I ever had anywhere! Finally its worth noting that the hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from the FGC station so its not exactly across the street. All in all, very nice hotel desite its very few downsides.
