Wonderful boutique hotel with so much to do all around the hotel.

Reviewed Jul 9, 2023
I selected this hotel based on Trip Advisor reviews and I was not disappointed. Check in was easy. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. Martin and Adam were the most memorable because they just seemed to always be there to help. I had forgot what I researched when booking this hotel and was very impressed when we checked in. They have displays of original rock from the Roman aqueduct in the lobby. There is a small bar in the lobby when you are waiting for check in. The basement level has a buffet breakfast that includes cook to order items and a nice selection of prepared foods. The roof top has a small bar and a very small pool if you want to enjoy some sun during your stay.

I booked a lower priced room which meant that it was smaller but it was very functional. There was no wasted space in the room but it had plenty of space for a couple. The bathroom was roomy with a large shower, hair dryer and a towel warmer.

Keep in mind that this is Europe and the power outlets are 220VAC.

The location of this hotel is walking distance to so many things including shopping, food and so much more. I was really amazed with my time in Barcelona because I never thought about needing a cab to go somewhere. We actually walked everywhere and had a great time.

This hotel will be on my list of options for my next visit to Barcelona.

Nicely located hotel with rooftop pool and Roman ruins inside. Fyi - the bathroom doors in the rooms offer very little privacy. Spent some time at the pool and Marco and David were great - very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast spread too. Very happy with our stay.

An amazing hotel located in the gothic area close to everything. Stylish rooms and general areas, roof top pool with sun loungers and an excellent bar- special mention to Marco who was fantastically friendly and made our time there special. The hotel is spotless and as well as Marco all of the staff were helpful and friendly

We greatly enjoyed a 4 night stay recently in this excellent hotel. The staff were warm, welcoming and very helpful with making local arrangements. The property is in a very good location, an easy walk to much that Barcelona has to offer, and less than ten minute walk to the metro/trains/bus routes. The hotel is newer with good sized rooms. The breakfast is expansive with plenty of options for everyone.

Room tip: We had a double room that had two twin beds about a foot apart, they could be easily pushed together.

We highly recommend this boutique hotel located in the Barrio Gothic of Barcelona because its location is convenient to all that you'd like to see in the city. It is on a side street and therefore quiet. It is very clean, furnished in a contemporary manner, the staff is young, enthusiastic and helpful, the breakfast is plentiful and tasty. The AC works wellwhich is certainly a plus when the weather is warm.The hotel has a commitment to the environment.
Although there is a rooftop pool, don't expect to swim because it is postage sized.

We just absolutely loved everything about this hotel. In the heart of the Gothic quarter, and perfect walking distance to everything, you may be fooled into thinking that it’s an old hotel from the outside, but it is completely contemporary and hip inside. We loved the rooms, the location, but most of all, the employees. All of them were wonderful and helpful during our stay, and I am sorry I didn’t write all of the names down (but everyone who worked from June 22-24, THANK YOU!). Huge shout out to Simo and Munia, especially!
