Pros:

Super personale. Perfekt beliggenhed. Perfekt værelse(nr 48) med skøn udsigt over torvet. Meget komfortabel seng. Dejligt med køleskab og kaffemaskine . Poolen var skøn og dejlig terassen.

Cons:

Jeg havde fået forståelse af at det var et "adult only" hotel,, men det var det desværre ikke. Det ville have gjort det til et endnu mere fantastisk ophold, især med tanke på at poolen er lille og hvis der er to børn i der leger er der ikke særlig roligt på terrassen.

It was absolutely perfect in every way
Pros:

Everything it was the perfect place to spend our first few days in Barcelona, the staff was so kind, I felt like family.

The neighborhood is filled with delicious restaurants
And it’s walking distance to all of the best places.

Would not hesitate to book this historic hotel again.

Gorgeous hotel in a fab location.
Pros:

The location is great, lots of interesting shops and cafes etc. The decor of the hotel in general is really nice and it was good to be able to order a 'breakfast box' with fresh croissants, fruit and a sandwich. Comfy beds and street noise not too bad.

Cons:

Leaving!!!

Amazing Boutique Hotel!
Pros:

Great location! Everything you would need is a short walk away. Rooms had a little kitchenette which was very helpful when travelling with a small child. The hotel even had the sofa bed set up already when we arrived. Would definitely stay again!

Cons:

Wish the pool hours were extended during the summer when there is more daylight hours. Didn't get much pool time in because they closed promptly.

It was a beautiful hotel in the perfect location. Staff were so attentive, could not fault their service.

Pros:

Great location. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Very comfy beds. Very clean all round. Didnt use the pool but looked great. Aircon was an asset. Double glazed windows kept the space quiet (more noise from above)

Cons:

A little noisy from above (we on 4th of 5 floors)
