We booked into this hotel as it is near Sant station and we were going off the following day to Lleida on the train. We had booked double rooms, but when we got there at around 2 pm (checkout is at 12 noon), we were told that our rooms were not ready and instead we could have twin rooms instead,... More

Far from the metro station, not same as the description in lastminute.com. Book a double bed for the staff insisted double bed = 2 single beds and there is no room with 1 big bed. Staff Poor knowledge and not willing to help. And lastly, poor english and difficult to communicate. Not recommend for tourist.

The hotel is well located right next to sants station which is why i booked a 1 night stay for the recent champions league game between Barcelona and Bayern Munich. From the outside the hotel looks lovely and modern and the reception area is air conditioned and also neatly and modernly decorated. HOWEVER, When you get into the rooms they... More

This was my second time staying at the hotel, and if I travel again to Barcelona I would stay at the same hotel because is near downtown, across the street from the metro station, nice and comfortable rooms, not problem with noise, very clean.

The hotel has as a wide mix of customers from business to independent travellers and can cope with any problems at reception. We stayed in an upgraded room here for a couple of nights after a cruise and were able to get checked in early. We found the standard room fine for one night before the cruise. For an extra... More

We booked a lastminute 'secret hotel' deal so the hotel was good value. However, when we arrived we were informed that there were only twin beds available, despite the fact that we had booked a double (and had the confirmation to prove it). The receiptionist claimed they didn’t have any doubles available and we would have to pay for an... More

Lobby nice, AMAZING location!!! Very safe area of Barcelona, more residential than the touristy areas that most guests will be visiting. The ROOFTOP is amazing!!! The view is incredible, and having a full bar available made it the perfect night. Everybody in this hotel spoke english, which surprised me. Supermarket right next door. Directly next to Industrial park and train... More

Bad service at the reception. When we arrived at 5:00 pm the room weren't ready yet. We asked for two adjacent rooms, but they were very far away each other. We asked for a twin and a double but they gave us two twin rooms. We were also asked to upgrade to the executive room for a fee. As I... More
