The hotel is centrally located, just a few blocks from the main metro station and Plaça de Catalunya, making it convenient for exploring the city. The rooms are a decent size, but some maintenance is needed. The staff is a mix of nice and rude, with some being very helpful and others not so welcoming. The dining experience could use improvement, with some options not meeting expectations.

I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The room I got was close to where the cleaning staff were working but I was surprised with a free Pepsi from the mini-bar. However, the room itself felt a bit tired with a flaky ceiling, a broken bathtub, and peeling mastic in the bathroom, which I didn't even ask for.

Staying in a penthouse room with a huge balcony was amazing, but the lack of sunlight due to a small window with a backyard view made it feel dark. The rooms overall were big, airy, and comfortable, with a nice power shower and bath, though being claustrophobic made me feel a bit confined.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were smaller than expected and had a couple of broken light bulbs, but the huge balcony was a nice touch. The service was rushed and there seemed to be a lack of staff, impacting overall satisfaction. However, the location was superb, being steps away from Passeig de Gracia and Rambla de la Catalunya. The dining fell short with cold food and mishaps with the orders, but the proximity to Casa Mila and Casa Batllo was a plus.

The hotel has a superb location, just a short walk from the most famous streets Placa de Catalunya and Pg de Gracia. The rooms, while a bit small for a double, were clean but needed maintenance. The staff are very friendly and even offered to fetch items for me, but could have been more helpful. The dining options were fair but nothing extraordinary. The noise levels and room facilities fell short of expectations. The location is ideal for exploring the city and conveniently close to major attractions.

The hotel had small rooms that weren't very comfortable for couples. However, I was pleasantly surprised with a free Pepsi from the mini-bar. The first room had a card-power slot issue. The service was helpful but pointed out that our room only accommodated two people. The location was situated between Passeig de Gracia and Rambla de Catalunya, close to everything in the city. The dining experience was complete and delicious but lacked attentiveness to basic requests. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom. However, there was a one-inch gap under the adjoining door and a constant dripping noise from the toilet. The service was fantastic, with very friendly and helpful staff who were accommodating. The location was fantastic, just a few steps away from the old Barcelona, Placa da Catalunya, and Las Ramblas. The dining experience was really good overall, although I would have liked to see more hot food options. The hotel facilities were top-notch.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were fair-sized, very comfortable, and clean, offering every desired comfort. However, some maintenance issues like non-working bathroom plugs were noticeable. The service was a mix; while friendly and open throughout the night, it lacked amenities like in-room coffee makers. The location was excellent, central and close to major attractions, yet surprisingly quiet at night. The dining options varied from poor to acceptable, lacking variety but offering some acceptable choices for the price. The facilities were decent, with some room for improvement.
