Arrived at this hotel before the stated check-in time, however the gentleman on the reception desk checked us in a professional and friendly manner and gave us options for alternative rooms which were ready right away.

Our room was spotless and completely functional. The room was bright, modern and airy with a complimentary minibar stocked with waters and juices which is a nice touch. The bathroom is practical and had a large shower.

The breakfast area felt small, however there were always table available. There was a great selection of food available and the presentation was appealing.

The location of the property is pretty good, walking distance to La Rambla, cafe's on your doorstep and a Metro station just outside the hotel.

The overall feel of the property is lovely and I'd be more than happy to return here and most definitely recommend this hotel.

We invite you to embrace the vibrant culture on your next visit, as our hotel enriches every stay with local music, art, and literature, aiming to unwind and be inspired. Stay Curious!

We hope we can welcome you back in the future.

It is an elegant welcoming hotel, with a stylish modern lobby and spacious slick rooms, with a nicely fit retro touch. I stayed three days on a business trip, through my company's booking, for an event at Fira de Barcelona. The location was convenient, as it is close to the venue, but also a short walking distance to the touristic part of the city -and Paral-lel metro is just outside the hotel. Mind though, given the proximity to Apollo Centre, street noise in the night might be annoying -especially if one stays in a front side low floor room.
Other than that, everything was smooth, and the service was attentive and effective in all aspects; lastly the breakfast was above average, comprising both the standard options, but also a local touch.
It is an option I would reconsider, when back in the city, maybe opting for a backside room this time.

Room tip: It can be noisy in the nightdue to the proximity to Apollo Centre.

Dear Tassos,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay.

We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you found our hotel elegantly welcoming and our rooms spacious with a slick retro touch. It's wonderful to know that our location served you well for both business and leisure, nestled right in the cultural heartbeat of Barcelona. Your kind words about our attentive service and breakfast that adds a local flavor to the morning spread bring smiles all around! Now, about that street noise, we'd like to say that our higher floors are the secret hideaways from the urban lullaby, plus with double glazing and earplugs at the ready, we aim for your next stay to be as serene as a Picasso masterpiece. If the hustle and bustle of the city crept into your night, rest assured that our backside and interior quiet rooms are like hidden alcoves of tranquility. Stay Curious, and let us whisk you away to a quieter retreat next time!

We are looking forward to welcoming you again.
All the best!

I hate writing reviews like this one but sometimes there are no options but to let other travelers know. This was our 2nd time staying here because we loved it so much first time. Came for Christmas time. Good things first, location is excellent, parking (paid) available, clean , modern, comfortable and large enough rooms.
Negative: on Christmas Day, my husband’s gold wedding band disappeared from the room during cleaning. We were exploring and forgot to take it and forgot to put it in safe box. He realized that he forgot it when we were in parking garage but decided not to come back since we trust the security in the hotel. Big mistake on our part, since ring was gone when we got back. Contacted front desk right away, asked for a manager who was not in of course, next day we filed police report as instructed, contacted manager again who took forever to reply to my emails. Nothing was done to make us feel confident or valuable as guests. We were leaving back to US in few days and all this time no one checked in with us, my emails were only answered when I was inquiring. It was a wedding band and it was important, not just the fact it was expensive.
Moving forward few month, after countless emails, their insurance declined the claim and I didn’t even get “we are sorry” email from anyone in the hotel/ management. It is unacceptable!!!!! Very very disappointed! Christmas was ruined and so was our trust in this hotel.

Room tip: Lock your things up!

Dear Henka,
Thank you for taking the time to share your review.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and it's wonderful to hear that our prime location and modern comforts continue to impress. It's the little luxuries like our large, clean rooms that make a big difference, right? Now, onto a less joyful note, the incident you described is truly concerning. Although our policy on personal items is clear, we feel your disappointment deeply. Rest assured, we continuously strive to ensure our guests' stays are nothing short of delightful, including the safety and security of their belongings.

We hope to be able to welcome you back for an improved stay.
Kind regards,

We spent 2 nights in this hotel and were pleased by it. The location is good, facing a metro station and within walking distance to the Ramblas and the Montjuic Fountain. The room was comfortable and the staff was very nice. Taxis are available at the front door. I recommend the breakfast, which is very complete.

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.

Room tip: Watch your belongings ...never set anything down anywhere.

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
