This a great hotel for a trip to Barcelona. Within walking distance of key areas e.g. La Rambla, Arc de Triomf and the Museum district. Surrounded by lots of shops, bars and restaurants so super convenient. It’s a modern hotel, so has a dark ambience that is cool for photos, the staff were super friendly and the rooms are spacious too. The only thing that was missing was an iron in the room but I’m sure you could request one from reception. The rooftop terrace provides 360 views of the city which was nice to see. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this to others.

The hotel itself is very clean, the staff were friendly especially the man who stands by the entrance and helps with bags etc he was very polite and always happy. The hotel location itself Within a 30 minute walk from the main shopping centre, zoo and aquarium, also directly above the metro less than a 30 second walk so easy access to transport links. Depending on which direction you head there are nice spots and not so nice spots so it is always best to research where you are heading before hand. Overall for the price you cannot complain really, good value for money.
