Un molt bon hotel al centre de Barcelona
Pros:

A destacar especialment el personal, amb una molt bona predisposició en tot moment, penso que un des punts forts d'aquest hotel.
Pel que fa a les habitacions molt funcionals, i alhora acolidores.

Cons:

No sabem si és per l'època de l'any, però a l'arribada es te certa sensació de fresc a l'habitació, però no és res rellevant.

Wonderful comfortable stay perfect for gothic quarter
Pros:

The hotel was older than expected but renovated very well in a modern style . We booked an “exterior” room which we didn’t really understand what this was as no explanation on this site. It means a street facing room and the hotel overlooks a very busy main road. Luckily we were given a top floor room which was quiet. The room was very well appointed with very comfortable beds, a lovely balcony and an incredible rain fall shower. It also had a fridge but this wasn’t very cold. We slept very well but the aircon system even on 16c blew out hot air?! The breakfast buffet was amazing quality & variety.
Great location on edge of gothic quarter and stroll from marina
Staff excellent helpful & friendly
Lovely towels & tea coffee facilities

Cons:

No milk provided with tea or coffee in room
Used cups and glasses not replaced by housekeeping
Poor air con
