This hotel was located just off La Ramblas near the food markets and a 5-10 minute walk from Placa de Catalunya. Our room (twin) was quiet at night and the single beds were comfortable. The room was small but actually quite large for European standards - especially the bathroom - and all fittings and fixtures were clean and modern. The... More

Hotel was beautiful although room was a little small. Cocktail bar was very nice in evening. Room lacked tea making facilities which seemed common in Europe but will make sure next time I stay this is important to me. Ideal location close to all the shows we went to.

The hotel is, in itself, an attraction because of its exquisite beauty and design - several times while in the lobby, I noted that people pop in with a guide just to view the interior of the hotel. We had a second floor room - there was never an issue with too much noise. The room was huge (considering European... More

A few steps to La Rambla and metro station. Nice rooms, friendly staff, historic hotel, and a good dinner in the restaurant. Short walk to several top rated restaurants. We had a suite that was very modern. Only complaint was no light in the shower to see the panel that had the light button and other controls on it.

The hotel is just off the Ramblas and a minute from a metro station. Most rooms look into internal courtyards, but these are at least attractive! There is a good roof terrace and bar with a pool and gacuzzibut - although the pool is really only a plunge pool. Bar and restaurant are fine. Interesting architecturally. Well apppionted rooms.

Go for higher floors rooms on lower floors noisy and small, staff very friendly and welcoming, the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed in, perfect location. Roof terrace amazing to soak up the sun or for a evening cocktail.

We chose the hotel because of its location, just a step or three from La Rambla. It was simply wonderful in every respect. No woner hundreds of people organise tours of the Hotel, it is a gem of Art Nouveau, not to everyone's taste as it is 'over the top' in many respects, but beautifully preserved and band-box clean and...

This hotel was a complete surprise! We needed just one night for our pre-cruise visit to Barcelona. We were told to stay near Las Ramblas. We were a few feet from Las Ramblas and could walk everywhere. The hotel staff were fabulous and the room was great. Had all the amenities and was clean and contemporary. Would definitely stay here... More

We were only at this hotel for one night prior to flying back to Australia but we could have stayed longer. Very nice hotel and the front desk staff were great too. Just off Las Ramblas so it was close to the action.
