This is a great place to stay to explore the city. It is easy to reach from the airport and has easy access to the main attractions. It is right by one exit of the Paral,lel metro station. The rooms were modern and stylish, with a sliding separator. The bathtub was wonderful. The beds were a bit soft but still comfortable. We had to adjust the air conditioning fan because it was either too hot or too cold and in the end we turned it off at night. The Wolf Tavern was great, the rooftop pool/bar could use some shade but was still good. Breakfast was decent, although the same everyday. The staff were helpful, some had difficulty speaking English but were always ready to help. Taking the Aerobus is easy but if you have luggage it's easier to take the metro from Espanya. A cab was much appreciated when leaving.
This is a wonderful spot to stay! The room was very clean and all of the staff were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the location is ideal - just a few moments away from the metro. There's even a coffee machine in the reception area that's free to use 24/7. The surrounding area is full of great restaurants and shops to explore. Plus, the view from the top of the building is incredible. On the roof, there's a swimming pool and a bar to enjoy. All in all, this is a great option for a stay in the area and highly recommended.
This property had a really great location, with many fantastic facilities available. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Someone had previously mentioned there were issues with hot water, but if you were the first one in the shower it was fine. Breakfast each morning was such a great start to the day. All of the amenities were within walking distance, plus the metro station was right outside. We really loved the rooftop pool and bar, which made for a lovely end to our hot days. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we had such a good sleep each night. The housekeeping staff were second to none and we would certainly stay here again.
We had a wonderful 4-day stay at this hotel. The room was spotless and had all the necessary amenities. We also appreciated the marvelous pool and sun deck, which offered beautiful views of the city. The restaurant was very cozy and the food was delicious, especially the breakfast. The staff, AnargyRos, Josephin, Dani, and Alex, were all incredibly helpful each morning. All the hotel staff were so kind and welcoming. Thanks to this hotel, our Barcelona city break was an even more incredible experience. Its location was perfect for all the attractions we visited.
We found staying at this property to be a great experience. The rooms were pleasant and cozy, and the rooftop Terrace Bar was exceptional. Our favorite part was the service from Cherry - she made us feel very at home, so please pass on our appreciation and good wishes from Carolyn and Murray (the two Australians ??) who have just left Barcelona for Dubai.
