Found the hotel last minute by walking through the front door. The property is clean and I found the staff helpful. My scribbled notes in my day book remind me that the bed was a real king size but very very hard. As the only other note to self is regarding 'not worth full price' and also that I didn't write anything horrible, my recollection is that it isn't a 4 star but a 3 star 'want to be'. Acceptable but not memorable. I think my window looked out onto someone else's window - fine as I didn't book in for the view. I recall that the bathroom was a decent size and that it was well lit. I didn't use the bar or restaurant.

We finished off the last three days of our tour here in Barcelona.

Room quality is a lottery; whilst ours was large and spacious and quite well-furnished, it suffered from having no natural daylight at all. Our window overlooked what seemed a prison yard - hence the heavy curtains! Also, the hallways could do with carpeting as they were quite noisy when other guests walked down them at night.

Good points: friendly staff, good breakfast buffet and excellent location.

I would stay here again.

This hotel has a very good location, close to Paseo de Gracia, Close to subway stations and close to main Gaudi attractions La Pedrera y Batllo
However is too expensive for what it offers:
- Room size Ok
- VERY noisy!!! If you are tired and want to sleep until late morning, forget it!!!! You will hear every single noise in the building specially the maids cleaning the rooms, every steps cracks the hotel.
- Beds are very uncomfortable, I got a terrible back ache at the end of my vacation

One good thing, service is great and personnel are very kind

We were so pleased w/services & room standard. While many indicated rooms were small, I was quite impressed by size especially considering price. Beds were extremely comfortable... love the pillows in Spain! The room greeted us w/nice fragrance. The bathroom was huge equipped with shampoo and such. The central location was amazing. We walked everywhere and the Gaudy apartment building was only a block away! Hop-on bus, a 5 minute walk that is also ontop of Gracias Blvd that leads to Ramblas We arrived late in the eveniing. Cab took about 1/2 hour from airport, 35 Euros for 4 w/baggage. Katerina at the desk was MOST helpful especially with free WiFI connection. Coffee bar in hotel started morning off. Preferred light breakfast outside. Safe keys always seem to be extra cost in Spain.
