Wouldnt bother.

Inaccessible, no where near the metro. All local shops are closed or about to close.

Joke of a pool. You could probably get 4 and a half people in there comfortably. When its open.

Poor wifi.

Get something closer to the center of town. Unfair representation of barcelona, dont let it ruin your visit

Booked via Booking.com. Got a taxi from the airport to the hotel which cost us 40 euros. Reception staff friendly and speak English. Room was on the 7th floor (which was apparently a new floor) and it was stunning. absolutely beautiful, spacious, well equipped, comfiest beds, fluffy pillows. absolutely beautiful and immaculately maintained. Shower gel, shampoo and conditioner provided, plus toothbrushes and paste for if you have forgotten yours! Towels provided and robes and slippers too.
Pool area was great. Pool towels are provided free of charge from reception. The pool was small and cold, however, this really was not a problem. It was a perfect area for some chill time. We never had a problem getting a sun lounger and there were cabanna bed things for a more shaded area, which our children loved sitting under.
The hotel is slightly out of town, in a quieter, more upmarket place. The first day we walked into Barcelona, which did take about an hour but there were loads of shops and cafes o the way so we had a nice walk. A taxi back cost us 10 euro, so not bad at all. The second day we jumped on a bus from a bus stop directly outside, it was the V13 bus and cost 2.55 per person. It took us all the way down to the marina, but you can also stop at La Ramblas on the same bus. We ended up getting this bus several times while we were there. Although we could not work out how to get back on the bus! so we walked or got a taxi for around 10 euro.
Breakfast each day was fantastic!
We also ordered room service on the first night as we arrived late and the food was really nice and reasonably priced. Large pizza was 17 Euros.
The hotel is fantastic and although slightly further out of the main area of barcelona, there are plenty of options for getting around. Would highly recommend.

What a lovely hotel this is! We booked it as a last minute trip (4 days prior to travel) through a travel agent and Jet2 and so had no time to thoroughly investigate the hotel (as is our usual way of holiday planning). Hence we were a little apprehensive as to what to expect.

We needn't have worried...although a way out of the city centre, the location was perfect for us. It was near to a variety of travel links (bus and metro) but was also in a vibrant area of its own with a good choice of bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance.

The hotel itself was excellent and well worth the price. Our room (a basic twin) was clean and modern. We loved the rooftop pool...very classy poolside furniture.

We had breakfast each day, there was a very wide choice of delicious good and drink options.

The hotel staff were invariably friendly and polite.

I would highly recommend thd hotel and would defo stay again.

Was allowed to check in early even though check in was 2pm. Hotel has nearby shops and bakery shops if you want anything extra. Room was clean and well maintained. Check out was also easy without any issues. Hardly had any waiting time.
