Good hotel but a bit out of the way perhaps

Reviewed Apr 23, 2023
Only downside for us was that it felt quite out of the way - it was about a 15-20 min walk into the main areas of Barcelona - we don’t mind a walk so not too much of a problem for us. A metro station is close by so you could make use of this.

Hotel itself is perfect - clean, staff are friendly, has a rooftop pool and bar area and we had a huge bed! (Not two beds pushed together for once which seems to be a common European thing!)

Fabulous stay. Clean and stylish hotel
with friendly staff and tasty food. Our room
also had a balcony which was a nice surprise! Well situated close to lots of bars and dining options and also main bus routes but still walkable to the beach and harbour area (20 minutes to the end of the harbour)
Highly recommended.
Fismuler restaurant which is on the ground floor underneath the hotel is exceptional and also highly recommended.

Room tip: Hop on and off bus from Plaça de Catalunya excellent to get around and see different attractions.

I have booked REC Life XL 216 with breakfast. everything is fine room is big with a comfy bed. breakfast is ok. The view from the rooftop is fantastic.

Room is very noisy with the bar nearby and pedestrians walk by talking so loud until 1 or 2 am. noise isolation from the outside is very bad.

If you like quiet place don't book this of type room. if you sleep after 2 am yes you will enjoy this hotel.

Room tip: don't accept the rooms at the front side of hotel except you love noise till 2 am.

We stayed here 3 nights
The rooms are a bit small, and the green in the room was an acquired taste but for the hotel itself those are the only mild negatives.
The bed was comfy with lots of pillows, the staff were pleasant, the ammenities are good and lots of TV channels if you are spending time in your room.
The location in terms of access to the Gothix Quarter and water is awesome, the only negative about the location is the touristy nature of the arc next door means it is a hotspot for pick pockets.
We came back to the hotel at 12.30am after a football match and we’re dropped a block or two away. We were followed by a male who we believe was trying to suss us out. We were also warned by staff members to not leave our phones on tables at the restaurants ect as people will grab them.
If you have your witts about you, you will be fine. just be vigilant.
We would defiantly stay again!

No traffic noise at night, Niche Restaurant at a separate entrance. Breakfast on the roof with terrace and pool. Good place to start to discover this colourful and vibrant city. Would certainly check in there next time.

We had a pleasant time in BCN. Hotel is very central, we could explore the city and most of the sights by foot. Breakfast was good, especially the fresh orange juice. The room was good: big, comfort bed, a good shower.
