I would rate this hotel as a 2 and a half-star property. Facilities and guest amenities are definitely not 4-star. Not good value for money at €270 a night. Staff members are courteous and helpful. The breakfast buffet is good, plenty to choose from. But the breakfast room is utilitarian.

Not impressed considering the price paid
Hallway leading to our room was very dark. Bathroom shower doors had a huge gap 1/2 inch in the door causing the floor to flood. Bathtub would not drain properly. Not the cleanest bathroom. Charged for items in the minibar which we did not use. Some staff not helpful and had absolutely no personality.

Only one electricity outlet (and even that was not close to the bed!, and it only worked with European plugs, i.e., not useful for North Americans). the staff were not warm and welcoming (they weren't rude or anything; but I had expected a more chatty staff who would ask us about our day or talk to us about things happening). The room was very dark, the window was very small and it looked over no where! overall, NOT at all what we expected for the cost we were paying.

I highly recommend this hotel. It is very clean. The breakfast they offer is varied and excellent. The hotel looks simple from the outside, but it's really pretty and intimate. Courteous staff. The location is perfect, between 10 and 15 minutes walk from several place to visit. Several excellent restaurants opposite and right next door, not to be missed. I will return to Barcelona and to this hotel! It was a beautiful week at this place. Thanks to all. Sophie Panneton
