Nice for a weekend stay but not luxury
Pros:

Very well located hotel in the centre of Barcelona. The rooftop bar was really excellent and the barman was extremely nice. The Airconditioning was really great in the room.

Cons:

Rooms need an update, they are a bit tired and need redecorating. Checkin was chaotic.
