Exceptional”

Stayed for 4 nights - the Location was fabulous as the Aerobus from Airport is a 4 min walk from Hotel. We got the bus easily as early as 3.50 AM for a 6.00 AM International flight out of Barcelona. The Hotel has every facility a traveler would need and the rooms are pleasant and spick and span. The 24 hr reception staff were extremely helpful- helped in printing our Health Documents for Airport control , were also helpful in suggesting restaurant choices based on our food preferences- They keep your luggage if you have to travel. If the weather is good - a balcony room is great(we did one night with it) as you can watch the people and night life on the La Ramblas . The 24 hour buffet is convenient as you will never go hungry- however they have the same menu daily - so wasn’t appetizing but they have a good selection of fruits and beverages including beer . Will definitely stay here again !

Safe and Central Location, Great staff!”

Viviane helped upgrade our booking to a balcony. It was exactly what you would expect from a Barcelona hotel. Overlooking a main strip, with the bus, taxi stand, and subway system right outside the doors. Secure well light entrance, on the Main Street. That’s key as several area hotels are down alleyways that don’t look very safe. Our room was large (for spain standards) and the balcony view was just stunning. Food, beer, wine and drinks were all free and abundant. Definitely worth every penny! The elevator can take awhile, but this is a cute boutique hotel. You can take stairs if you want. Don’t forget to tip staff as they are very helpful with luggage, tours, directions and ordering transportation. I would definitely stay here again.

From the super helpful staff, to the great amenities in the rooms - motorized shades, A/C, ceiling fan, refrigerator + 24-7 lite buffet with beer and soft-serve ice cream ALL INCLUDED. The location on La Rombla was amazing - we walked everywhere and the AeroBus to the airport is only a few blocks away —- I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

location was the best, 3 minutes from placa Catalunya; the staff was very helpful; room was clean with comfortable beds and modern bathroom, good shower! The unlimited beer, wine, snacks, foods 24/7 saved time and $$ . I have stayed at the sister property twice and that was good, but this is better for the location. The balcony room allowed us to people watch above las Ramblas. I will be back again.

Watch out for elevator over load. It only good for 6 persons.

Lucky my group did not died in there. It would be a disaster. Walk to your room!
