    Great location, 10 minutes walk to the Ramblas. Room was nice, spacious, clean and very quiet - big plus for being in a city that does not sleep at all! Excellent bathroom! Nice touch - plenty of useful info on Barcelona available in the room. We didn't take the breakfast, as there were coffee-shops just next door to the hotel. We'll definitely stay there again next time in Barcelona!

    Man was this place nice. We were greeted at the curb by a bellhop before the cab even stopped. The rooms are fantastic. The restaurant is exceptional. Really nice place. Only off La Rambla by a couple of blocks. Would definitely stay again.

    An clean, modern and comforatble hotel close to the Metro (just at the door) and within walking distance (5 minutes) of La ramblas area. Did not eat there, the coice outside of the hotel doors is so great why would you. Free internet connection a big advantage if you travel for business or have your own laptop along. All hotels should offer this. Well worth the extra money.

    This is a very clean hotel. The staff was very helpful and gave us good suggestions for meals.

    Very nice, brand new hotel. Very modern facilities and interior design. On the expensive side, but well worth it. Our only disappointment -- a big one -- was that in spite of our confirmed reservation they did not have a room for us when we arrived (because a group had decided to prolong their stay another day), so we had to spend our first night in another hotel across the street! They were most apologetic, helpful in making the arrangement and gave us a little break on the rate, but still, this should not have happened. Also, one should be aware that the hotel is not in the best area of town (it is surrounded by rather unsafe little streets). But the avenue on which it is located is fine and public transportation (bus and subway) is right at the door and very convenient.
