Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had well-set out rooms with a lovely large shower and a balcony that was a great place to sit after a day of sightseeing, but they overlooked a busy road. The service was incredible, especially Barbara at breakfast, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was perfect, close to the beach and nightlife, but a bit far from the best parts of Barcelona. The dining experience was very comfortable, with the rooftop pool and bar standing out. The facilities were top-notch, offering a range of amenities for a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms really need an update and were located right next to each other, which wasn't ideal. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating. The location was romantic and close to the beach, but some issues were unresolved. The dining experience was amazing with a wide selection available until late hours. Facilities were perfect with homemade products, but there were minor inconveniences with the Wi-Fi.
The hotel has a great location near the beach and nightlife, perfect for young friends or couples. The rooms are cozy and nice, although the soundproofing could be better. The service is friendly and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable. The dining options offer a variety of delicious dishes. Overall, a good choice for a Barcelona getaway.
The hotel's location is simply fantastic, placing you right at the heart of the city center. The rooms are spacious, clean, and offer a comfortable bed along with lovely balcony views. However, the central location also means some noise at night. The service was a mixed bag, with helpful assistance but occasional rudeness. The hotel excels in its exceptional location, being in the Olympic village near the sea and metro station, making it easy to find. The dining experience was good with a variety of options, although the pricing was a bit steep. Overall, a great stay with minor drawbacks worth noting.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, making it easy for us to shower and get ready for our flight. However, the noise level was quite high, and the view from the balcony wasn't great with just a view of another building.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were amazing, spacious, and had a bathtub with a whirlpool, though they had a few issues and didn't meet a 5-star standard. The unique door system in the large bathroom was quite curious. The service made our stay incredible, though there was a hiccup with inaccurate information regarding a city tour on our first morning. The location was perfect for beach lovers and nightlife enthusiasts, just a few hundred meters from Port Olimpic and the beach. The dining experience was really good, especially for cured meats. Overall, a great stay with some minor hiccups.
The hotel has some room for improvement in terms of room updates, but it was spotless and nicely laid out. The beds and pillows are exceptionally comfortable, perhaps the best we've ever slept in. The service was a mix—exceptional at the front desk with super friendly staff but lacking interest in some instances. The location is perfect near the beach and easy access to transportation. The dining experience may have room for improvement and could be dependent on timing. Overall, a decent value for the money.
