My stay at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The room, with its balcony overlooking the lively Rambla, was a highlight, although some aspects left room for improvement. The service was exceptional, offering a range of amenities and assistance, and the location was outstanding, central to attractions and with noise protection from the street. The dining options were good, but a bit repetitive. Overall, a great value for money choice with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel has a nice street view balcony and a comfy bed. The 24-hour buffet offers good and varied food, excellent coffee machines, and beer on tap. The room, although small, is perfectly adequate for one person. However, the small room and bathroom could be improved, especially with the addition of another grab rail near the shower area. The price of nearly £400 is a bit on the higher side.
