Loved the area

Reviewed 17 May 2024
Small double great for max two nights with little luggage. Else not ask for bigger room. Great air con, free safe, kettle . Great transport links. 10 to 15 mins to Segrada Familiar. 20 mins walk past shopping centre( great food court if raining) to sea. Breakfast looked good and fresh if you prefer to eat before sightseeing. Staff lovely and friendly. Room always cleaned and freshened up. There is so much to see in Barcelona that a week is a starting point. We preferred local areas and didnt like the famous la Rambles as far too busy . There are many lovely other places to go. Take a city walking tour. Visit Monserrat. There are some lovely healthy food restaurants which we also loved . Overall there is something for everyone in Barcelona .

My wife has already added a comment on here Mrs. Cripps. I just wanted to add some photos of the awful breakfast, the barrier which stopped you turning the water on to have a bath. the fact that the hotel advertises a BAR and there isn't one, also advertises a mini bar and there isn't any, well there is but they are empty, we had a small bar of soap for three days which was not changed or replaced, the specialty tea was great but all flavor's and no regular breakfast tea, even when i hid the flavors more appeared but no breakfast tea. the lounge area, well if you could call it that was so uncomfortable and sparse, boring. the pool wasn't a swimming pool it was a meter deep if that splash pool. a very disappointing stay indeed.

Room tip: only use this hotel if your expectations are low

Dear guest,

We thank you for contacting the Hotel management to inform us of any inconvenience caused during your stay.

It is of great help to us to have known all the events that occurred during your days at the hotel since they help us enormously to improve our service.

Usually when a client has any incident, they solve it with the team that is available at the hotel 24 hours a day.

We are going to try to respond to each and every one of the details that you have not only wanted to transmit to us via email, but have also decided to publish it on Tripadvisor, even creating a double account so that all your anxieties are well documented.

We begin by pointing out, according to your letter, that the hotel does NOT have a bar service and is not advertised on any website, much less through the agency through which you have booked. However, thirty meters away we have the Catalonia Sagradafamilia which has a bar for your enjoyment, even with the possibility of not having to pay at the bar, you can put it on your establishment's account.

As for the pool, you can see in the images that it is a pool of limited dimensions, you can only see it by looking at the sun loungers right next to it. The dimensions of the pool are those allowed by legislation due to the type of building and not having a lifeguard.



A minibar is advertised in the room and our clients are delighted to be able to use it for their products. I see that there is a problem of interpretation, in this hotel, as I have said, it is only for the use of clients.

You show us in an image that you did have several infusion options and not just fruit, we even see green tea.

An amount of complimentary coffee stipulated by those responsible for standards and processes of the Catalonia chain for the hotel category is placed in the room upon arrival. If you want more, you have to inform the staff and you have to pay the corresponding price.

But the receptionists wanted to be nice and offered you more units for free.

We are sorry that the breakfast did not live up to or meet the expectations that have been placed on it and we thank you for your criticism to improve it in all aspects.

In short, we are very sorry that the hotel, due to a combination of nonsense and some interpretations, has not met the objectives set by the standards and processes designed by the chain.


At your service,

Disappointing ,although the rooms were clean they really were quite small.Having been given room 601 right next to the lift made our room very noisy the lift needs some oil I think ! Amenities in the room were not replenished daily and trying to get extra coffee sachets and milk jiggers proved impossible! Breakfast was awful never enough crockery and cutlery we seemed to spend most of our breakfast experience requesting a cup or bowl ! The hot breakfast was diabolical ,three item eggs and ,sautéed peppers,Spainish omelette and sausage! The hot food was never hot and not even warm.The music was quite loud and we were not the only guests that had to ask for it to be turned down .You have to get in the bath before you can turn the taps on as the shower screen covers access to the taps.The plug didn’t fit the bath tub making it impossible to actually have a bath, Dont get excited about there being a rooftop pool as it is a plunge pool 1 metre deep !

Room tip: Plenty of other hotels in the area think twice before booking this one

Really loved this hotel. Close enough to restaurants and attractions, but still had a neighborhood feel. Mass transit options near and taxi stand around the corner. Lots of restaurants in walking distance. Within walking distance to Sagrada Familia. Helpful staff.

Room tip: Plan to visit the local shops and restaurants in the area. Quiet and less crowded than some areas of Barcelona. Nice neighborhood.

This hotel was amazing place to stay. Its location is near Sagrada , shopping mall and metro.
The best about hotel is its stuff. They are very pleasant and they will do everything to make your stay wonderful! We were trying to see the best in Barcelona for 4 days and stuff was helping us to find the locations that suites us. They also printed out a welcome note for our friends anniversary that made their stay here memorable.

Thank you guys !!!
