We stayed here last week for 4 nights. This is a boutique hotel right on the Paseo de Gracia that is absolutely wonderful. The location is excellent and you can walk almost everywhere. The Ask Me Concierge people were so helpful in every way. I had emailed and ask for a car pick up and Paola arranged everything. When we arrived she made sure she knew who we were and gave us wonderful recommendations for places to go. Then she made suggestions for tapas and dinner and made reservations. All the recommendations were superb and delicious. The whole staff could not do enough for us. All the rooms have free WiFi and the mini bar is all free. Because we booked online our breakfast was included. We stayed in room 501. It had a beautiful balcony and overlooked the Paseo. We definitely did not have enough time in Barcelona and plan to return as soon as possible. We definitely will stay at this hotel again and again. An excellent value.

Please, please, stay here!!! You will not be disappointed at all. Okay, yeah, the rooms are small, but this hotel is wonderful. Great location, great staff -- especially the personal travel/concierge person they have. Also, they sometimes provide complimentary breakfast when you book online and it is very much worth it. They had these little salami sandwiches, rubbed with olive oil and tomato and garlic, yummmmy!
The hotel is romantic too, nice bathrooms, and in a great location. We stayed for 8 days and each day we enjoyed breakfast, and their complimentary coffee. I can't say enough about this hotel, especially if you are like us and like the boutique hotels.

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon before going on a Mediterranean cruise. What a great choice! First off, we were not looking for the goofy "honeymoon suite" with a silly lip- or heart-shaped tub - we were more into seeing and doing on our trip while relaxing in the evenings and sleeping in late. So, first off, all the staff in the hotel were very kind and helpful. Thierry helped us with our bags and was very helpful with some places to eat late night since we didn't arrive until about 10:30pm, but then again, that's normal dinner time for Barcelona, eh? The "ask me" service guy was awesome, too (sorry I can't remember his name right now - Stefan, maybe?), but he was truly great - provided many maps and options for getting around/touring no matter what your tastes are.
The hotel itself is in a great location - not very far from a dropoff point at Placa Catalunya from the airport shuttle. The location is close to a couple Gaudi apt. blocks - including Casa Batllo. There are great restaurants nearby, but we really liked eating in the Born district - cool part of town not too far away via either Metro or bus. The room was made out in a Mod style - very nicely done. Room was quiet, bed was nice and big and comfy which pleased us. It was also low in case that is a concern - it did not bother us (we liked it), but elderly folks might care about it. The room was spacious, had a nice view of the paseo and nice, mod bathroom with both a stand alone shower and a separate bathtub. I will agree with other posts that the lighting system is odd, but Thierry helped us out with it upon entry. It's nothing to be concerned with - it's just not the normal on/off switch, but it actually works pretty well to suit your dimming/lighting needs and to save energy.
The breakfast options were AWESOME here and we loved the style of the hotel. We didn't think the lift (elevator) was loud at all and we didn't hear a peep from anyone else. In fact, I think we may have only seen 1 or 2 other guests while staying here. We had the best time, felt very comfortable, and the staff were very helpful and kind! Great place! We would definitely come back!
Also, if you're not in command of your Spanish, not to worry, everyone there speaks very good English and I believe French as well.
The pictures that have been submitted are quite accurate.
Wonderful hotel with a great view, great staff, and great location at a great deal!

This hotel was furnished with the eye toward contemporary design but not comfort.
The bar area sofas were very uncomfortable as were the lounge chairs on our patio(Try to sit in one with out sliding off!) Also there were no drawers for clothing. I used one of the sofas in our sitting room to store clothes.
Bathrooms were nice and well appointed. Free minibar was well stocked. Rooms were large and beds were very comfortable.
ASK ME service was the best concierge service we had while in Spain. They were very helpful and we enjoyed all of their suggestions.
Hotel location was great...we walked almost everywhere.
