Reviewed Nov 17, 2023
this was an easy hotel to stay at, well located and comfortable. We stayed for one night prior to getting on a cruise ship and it was just a short drive to the cruise ship. Our only bone of contention is that the hotel called a cab for us after insisting that we could not use Uber in the city and that boat was required to make you wait at least 15 minutes. Neither one of these things ended up being the truth. The cab that the hotel arranged for us had a meter reading of e14 but charged us e23. I have reached out to the hotel several times to get them to explain this discrepancy, but they have not responded.
So long and the short of it is, stay at this hotel, but don’t let them call a cab.

First let me say that the location is great with the metro station a block away and the Rambla, etc. only a short walk away. But I agree with others - the bed was uncomfortable, I was in a single room right on Paral.lel avenue which was noisy until about midnight and also with the sound of the metro trains running under the building until midnight and then starting before 6am so no alarm needed. So on the whole, I cannot recommend this hotel for anything more than a one night stay - I was there 4 nights and it was tough.

Room tip: If you can get a room NOT on Paral.lel you are lucky!

I was in a single room on the first level. Between the subway running right underneath and the revealers on the street I didn’t sleep for my three night stay. The rest of the hotel was okay . Im sure other rooms were fine . Just don’t let them put you in the front of the hotel. And no they wouldn’t move me when I asked.
