BEWARE!!!! We were robbed in the lobby restaurant.

Reviewed Apr 8, 2024
First of all, we loved this hotel. The staff was great and the rooms were lovely. However....we were robbed in the lobby restaurant during the day at a corner table. We had checked in the day before and had dinner at the SAME table. Our kids had flown in the second morning and had rested in our room since their rooms were not available. In the early afternoon the adults came down and we were playing cards. A female employee brought us chips without us asking. Later she brought olives. Again without a request for them. I recognized her as the hostess from the upstairs restaurant where we had lunch that day. A man wearing a Michigan shirt came and sat directly next to my daughter. There wasn't another person in the restaurant. I said "GO BLUE". He just looked at me. I repeated myself and my son in law said in Spanish, "your t-shirt" and pointed to his shirt. Coincidence that he walked in off the street? Perhaps... I looked up to see him walking away rapidly and my son in law realized that his phone and wallet that he had sat on the shelf behind my daughter were gone. In Spain you must report your crime and then the police look at the security video. We went to report and the police said we don't speak English...they couldn't have cared less. The hotel wouldn't allow us to view the security tapes. A very unhappy start to our vacation.

Dear Susan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Your words paint a vivid picture of the experiences that make our hotel special, and we're tickled pink that you found our staff delightful and the hotel's beauty to be noteworthy. We're thrilled that your dinner at our terrace restaurant offered a taste of the good life under the Barcelona sky, and that our location served as the perfect backdrop to your explorations. However, it seems there was a moment that dimmed the sparkle of your stay. While we pride ourselves on security, it's disheartening to hear of your experience in the lobby restaurant. Rest assured, we take every incident seriously, and although we wish we could turn back time and right the wrongs, we're here to support our guests through any unexpected twists. Althoug the restaurant is a public arean and as in any other restaurant pleaople have to take care of their belongings not leaving them behind them in a shelf, we're grateful that you've brought this to our attention and would like to extend our sincerest sympathies for the inconvenience you encountered. In regards to your not very polite comments towards our female employee, in this hotel we have the kindness of taking something to bite while peolple are drinking, it´s a custom in most of spain. In the spirit of curiosity and discovery, we hope the rest of your stay was filled with magical moments and enchanting encounters that only Barcelona can offer.

We hope we may have the chance to welcome you back in the future.

Kindest regards,

Belén Sánchez, Guest Relations Manager

My son booked this stay for us to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday, and we checked in yesterday under his name. My son specifically requested a birthday card or some sort of acknowledgment for my wife since it's her milestone birthday, but unfortunately, that request was completely ignored. Needless to say, it's left us quite disappointed to start. We're set to check out on Tuesday, April 9th, and we'll certainly be providing a more thorough review then.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback.

We're thrilled you're enjoying the pristine conditions of our rooms and the prime spot we've nestled into right in the heart of Barcelona's vibrant scene. It's an absolute bummer that the birthday card for your mom's special day slipped through the cracks - we aim to make every celebration unforgettable, and it´s a shame that it didn´t reach her room, as the do not disturb sign was on and therefore we couldn´t enter her room and leave the note and cava we had for her to celebrate. On a brighter note, our team is always eager to share the local gems and festivities that make Barcelona buzz with energy. We're delighted you're soaking up the culture and hope you'll continue to discover all the delightful surprises our city has in store. Stay Curious!

We hope to welcome you back.
Best wishes,


Belén Sánchez, Guest Relations Manager

Excellent hotel, modern, great location within walking distance to La Rambla and the coast. The service is outstanding. Would like to thank Jorge at the front desk and Gabriel at the luggage station for going above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! Other amazing feature is free mini bar with local beverages, yoga mat, plenty of power sockets, incl USB and wireless. Breakfast buffet also very good, variety of foods incl. gluten free and vegan. Welcoming and helpful staff at the buffet. Last but not least, the housekeeping keep the rooms very clean and are very helpful! Also, right in front of the hotel is the metro station which you can use to go around in Barcelona. Highly recommend this hotel!

This is a must place to stay if visiting Barcelona.
The location is fantastic and the staff cannot do enough to help you and go above and beyond.
Will definitely be recommending this hotel to friends and family .
It’s a 20 minute walk to Los Ramblas and a mile and a half to the beach .
It’s approximately 30 euros in a taxi from the airport .

Hey Mandy!
Your kind words are music to our ears. Thanks for the rave review.

We're absolutely thrilled that you found our location fantastic and that our staff made such a memorable impression during your stay. It's wonderful to hear that you'd recommend us to friends and family—nothing beats word of mouth! We take pride in being nestled in the heart of Barcelona's cultural epicenter, a stone's throw from the vibrant Las Ramblas and the refreshing sea breeze of the beaches. It's music to our ears that you've experienced the artful embrace of our city, and that our hotel served as your urban retreat.
While we're all about smooth landings and takeoffs, we're glad to hear that the taxi fare from the airport didn't take the shine off your journey. Remember, our team is always on hand to share the secret local spots so you can dive deeper into the Barcelona vibe next time you visit.

See you again soon.
Take care,

Very nice hotel overall. Super clean. The housekeeping does a great job here. There is a mini fridge that gets restocked daily with free drinks, water and juice. The hotel is located in a city, which comes with some outside noise. When I checked in, I requested a quieter room. I was told, the room should be good because they have double panel windows to help w the noise. Yeah, those don’t work too well. Every night, I could hear outside traffic, people talking, until about 6am, when people would finally give it a rest. And this was with the windows closed. I didn’t sleep too well over my 4 night stay. I would recommend this hotel but not for people who are looking for a quiet sleep experience. I am sure that may be hard to find in a big city like Barcelona.

Dear Kelli,
Thank you for taking the time to share your comments.

We're absolutely delighted to hear that our housekeeping team's dedication to cleanliness shone through during your stay - sparkling just like the stars above our beautiful city! And isn't it refreshing to find complimentary drinks waiting for you each day? We love to keep you hydrated with our 'no need to ask. no need to go thirsty' policy. However, it seems that the vibrant city pulse of Barcelona reached your ears more than we would have liked. While our double glazed windows and quieter room selections usually do the trick, it's clear that the city's symphony played a tad too loudly for your liking. For your next visit, remember to whisper a request for our interior quiet rooms or make use of the earplugs we provide - they're like a lullaby for the city buzz!

We hope to welcome you back in the future.
All the best,


Belén Sánchez, Guest Relations Manager
