Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel is truly a hidden gem! The rooms are spacious and modern, offering both double and king beds to suit your needs. The kitchenette was a fantastic addition for convenience. The location was superb, being right near all the attractions in Barcelona. However, the noise in the neighborhood can be a downside for light sleepers. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with delicious Asian dishes offered. Overall, the facilities were top-notch and truly catered to all my needs.
My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The room was spacious and offered a great view of the city. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout my visit. However, the dining experience was somewhat lacking with limited options available. The facilities, particularly the pool, were well-maintained and added to the overall comfort of the stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was superb, close to everything in Barcelona. The rooms were cozy, and the staff provided excellent service. The dining experience was delightful, especially the tandoori dishes. However, the facilities could use some improvement.
