This hotel is very comfortable and well located. Rooms are not too large, but also not too small. Modern vibe, with very tranquil color scheme that is welcome after a long day of walking through the city. Service is exceptional. Front desk staff is very accommodating and friendly. It is within walking distance of many of the main sites and near La Rambla. Plenty of restaurants nearby, so it is easy to have a relaxing round of tapas and wine before moving on.

Great buffet breakfast with eggs, lots of cured meats and bacon, cheese, pastries, fresh fruit and juices for 11,90 euro (1/2 price for children).  Friendly responsive help. Free wireless or wired Internet - be sure to ask for login information at front desk.  Shower doesn't offer a lot of privacy in bathroom due to short glass partition and no shower curtain.  Lots of space in room with hard wood floors and contemporary colors and furnishings. Door opens so you can get fresh air in the room.  Was able to check in early but got a room on third floor over hotel entrance across from elevator (noisy when trying to sleep during day due to jet lag).  Safe didn't work and no one could fix because it was the weekend.  Safe area.  What is that rumbling noise every 30 minutes?  Must be the metro system...which is very close to the hotel and easy to use to get around town

The Jazz is exactly as shown in the photos on their webpage. The rooms are very comtemporary with the wow factor. They are a spacious room with every thought given to the smallest detail in design. Wardrobe space is fantastic, while the bathroom is rather spacious for a hotel. The reception staff are extremely friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We had trouble with our boarding passes for the airport before leaving and they kindly let us use the computer in reception to sort the issue. The hotel is in a great location. Just a 5 minute walk to the main square, Plaza de Catalunya, from where the tourist buses and the aerobus arrive and depart.It is also here that Ramblas begins On reading previous reviews we asked for a room on one of the upper floors and have to say that we did not hear any noise, in fact I slept very well during our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay in Barcelona.

Nice rooms, decent breakfast buffet (for an extra charge), but considering that the only other breakfast you can find at 7 in the morning in Barcelona is mostly some sort of bread and a single cup of coffee, an endless pot of coffee is a plus.

We were also doing some work that required printing several reports. I just took a USB drive to the front desk and they printed for no charge--loved that service! In-room safes were pretty roomy--we put in two 11" laptops with no problem, and I think I could have gotten in a 15" if I wanted to.

Keycards are required for the elevator, so nobody can get to any floors above the lobby without a keycard. That's good for security, but if you are meeting someone in the bar, you need to keep an eye out for them to bring them up.

But you won't be meeting many people in the bar because try finding a bar tender or even an attendant in the afternoon. We learned to tell the front desk when we were going so they could rustle up somebody.

The room often wasn't cleaned until late afternoon, even when we put out the "Please clean" sign. We would have liked it cleaned a little longer. Also, the wireless works well and is speedy, but they user an older authentication method that requires you to login every time you wake up your computer--that's just annoying. It should be set to remember your computer for 24 hours.

We didn't see the pool as we were there during the recent cold snap.

Overall, when we return to Barcelona, we will stay there again.
