Really lovely hotel, run by a superb team of efficient, smiley and professional staff. Excellent location, within a few minutes walking distance of La Pedrera, the independent cafes, restaurants and shops of charming and bohemian Vila de Gràcia, or the big luxury shops of Passeig de Gràcia. In fact, almost every site we wished to visit (with the exception of the Mirò Foundation for which we needed the metro & teleférico) was within walking distance. Even if it took a bit longer, it was a privilege to take our time to explore and discover for ourselves the beauty of this exciting city.
The hotel decor throughout the public areas and rooms was very chic, carefully thought, comfortable and functional. There were a few surprising touches I have not come across before that were very welcome: a good hair straightener, a safe that had an interior socket so that your devices charge in the room while you are out and about, as well as a motion-activated toilette seat that illuminates, especially useful at night!
The breakfast was tasty, lovely to have fresh orange juice on tap but the coffee could be improved and a bit more variety would have been welcome after five mornings of the same selection.
I am not sure why people complain about the gym; it may be small but it is very well equipped. One had to pre-book it, but helpful Ivan at reception managed to keep everyone happy. The dry sauna is kept at a fantastic temperature. We also used the steam room but the little spa swimming pool was closed due to a ban imposed by the local authorities (due to draught). We enjoyed our deep tissue and sports massages (special mention to Mauricio) and the organic products (“Sçens”) they use a smelled divine.
Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel and would very happily return at a slightly warmer time of the year, when we can enjoy breakfast at the beautiful patio and the fabulous outdoors pool. Thank you Seventy Barcelona staff, you have been amazing.
