We have just returned from a long weekend break in Barcelona. Despite initial problems with checking into the hotel, we would still strongly recommend it. The room was very comfortable and spacious. I think it is the most comfortable hotel bed ever! My only complaint would be that the rooms didnt seem to be cleaned until evening time, which was very inconvenient, given that this is the time we would have liked to be in the room before heading out for the evening. The buffet breakfast selection was second to none. Absolutely fantastic. The location of the hotel was ideal, very central but yet quiet at night when we wanted to sleep. No noise at all. Pool area was lovely and everything was spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again.

As with all holidays I was nervous in case I had got a bad hotel as it was a treat for me and a girlfriend for my 40th birthday, I need not have worried, It was fantastic. Yes the reception staff were not overly friendly but they were professional and quick. Hotel is half an hour from airport. Hotel and the room was very clean. Our room number was 239 and the room and bathroom were very spacious, the view is not great but we did not go there to sit in the room. The spa is to die for- again very clean. The pool on the roof is a great bonus the staff at the bar particularly one called Festus was a dab hand at the cocktails! The hotel restaurant is a must - top class meal, but you must book beforehand. You must have breakfast at this hotel, everything is so fresh and the choice is great. The location is cental, you leave the hotel and everything is on your doorstep, we were there for 5 days and did not use a cab. The harbour is a 20 minute walk. The designer shops LV, YSL etc are a 15 minute walk but if you are the kind not to venture too far this hotel is ideal. I would recommend that if you are coming here avoid paying the transfers as it is cheaper to get a cab yourself from the airport. I would defo class this as a 4 star and am planning to stay here again.

The hotel was a somewhat pleasant surprise. I had a spacious room with 2 queen beds, wooden floor, flat screen tv and a big bathroom with separate baththub and shower. The room was spotless and comfortable. The only complaint about the room is the difficulty of adjusting the temperature of the water from the (nice waterfall) shower. It was either very hot or too cold. No bottled water is provided free of charge in the room, but there are plenty of shops nearby to get all you need. The hotel had a small outdoor pool with a pool bar. I didn't try the spa services (sauna, jacuzzi, massage) Breakfast was comprehensive and beautifully laid out. No complaints. Service in the reception varied from standard polite service to somewhat rude and indifferent by one receptionist.

I organised an incentive trip for 30 people in January 2008 to go to Barcelona for a weekend. Booking hotels abroad is always a bit tricky to get right for such events but this one exceeded all our expectations. The rooms where modern, attractive, spotlessly clean, and large. It was an idea location for exploring the city of Barcelona as just off the famous Las Ramblas, restaurants and shops. Plus it was easy for our coaches to find and pick us up for the activities and excursions. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Barcelona for a short break or on business as the facilities are excellent.

My husband I stayed at this hotel in February 2008. The hotel is in a great location - really close to The Ramblas, bus routes and sights. Our room was spacious and beautifully laid out. The bathroom area was great. We stayed on a B&B basis - the breakfast was very good with lots of different things to choose from. You could also have bacon, eggs, etc cooked on a grill whilst you waited. I would recommend this hotel. The reception staff were very helpful. The only very minor downside we found was that we didn't have a good window in our room which meant there was very little natural daylight, however the plus side to this was that our room was located where there was no road or traffic noise. A great hotel, definitely worth a stay in a fab, vibrant city!
