Good Hotel, Good Location.
The hotel has great city location with a short walk getting you to many restaurants, bars and Las Ramblas.
We primarily used the hotel, not because we had stayed before, but this time for its location to The Apolo music venue over the road.
The hotel was clean, comfortable and seemed to be well maintained. The staff for check in and departure very efficient and friendly and approachable throughout the duration of our stay.
The only downside was the noise for us. The machinery for the lifts seemed to be on the other side of the bathroom wall and when the lift was in use it was noticeable in the room. So come 5 am when the lifts started to be used more frequently it woke us up even with the bathroom door closed.
That said, we’d stay there again but knowledgeable in what room to avoid!!

The hotel is well located and clean. Staff is excellent but surrounding street noise makes it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
