We were upgraded to this hotel by the tourist information office in Barcelona. Although a 20 min walk or so down to La Ramblas, the area around the hotel is far more spacious, less noisy and less crowded. The hotel service was excellent. Room perfect, and maid service second to none. The staff were very friendly, helpful and courteous. The roof top terrace and pool is excellent for simply relaxing, above it all. Spectacular views from the top of the hotel. Breakfast amazing.. What a selection. We would strongly recommend this hotel. to anyone coming to Barcelona.

The Hotel is not a 5-min. walk from Catalunya Sq.--more like 20 mins. The room was miniscule--certainly NOT worth the price. For the amount I pre-paid, breakfast was not included--not even coffee and bread! All of the Hotel desk clerks were excellent EXCEPT for a young woman who was on Sun., June 7 in the afternoon and evening; she was very abrupt and not friendly--the antithesis of everyone else I interacted with during my 4-night stay.

The hotel is situated up in Gracia on a very nice tree lined street only one over from the main shopping street in town. There are plenty of outdoor cafes and tapas bars right in the area and the rooms are some of the biggest we have stayed in while in Europe. We could see the top Sagrada Familia from our room, were around the corner from the Casa Battlo and down the street from two of his other buildings so if you like Gaudi - this is a great spot to be in. Oh and while the pool was small the roofdeck was still a great perk!

Booked through Lastminute.com as one of their secret hotel deals. Not a bad location, away from the hustle and bustle of the Ramblas, but within walking distance of all of the key sites. Based in the area of the designer shops (Burberry, Diesel, Massimo Dutti etc...), very cool but very expensive. Hotel itself decent although nothing special. The roof terrace sets it apart from the average hotel - great for chilling out in the sun with a cool beer. Surprisingly sparsely populated too. Room pretty basic, but no problems with it. Slightly disappointed having read other reviews that we didnt get an exercise bike! Staff helpful, particularly Eric - who managed to perform an excellent Manuel impression with very little effort... Bonus is that when you ask for one tuna sandwich, you end up with two....
