We came back to Barcelona after a 9-day cruise. Although it was 9 AM, the Reception staff immediately gave us a room. The hotel is located in a very good area, minutes away from the Ramblas, the Cathedral and the Casa de la Musica. Lots of dining places around. Barceloneta beach is a comfortable walk away, just at the end of the street, and the hotel staff conveniently let us use their pool towels. This modern hotel is in spotless condition. Our room was exactly what we expected, spacious, well equipped. We even had a private walkout patio where we spent some quiet time in the evenings. All in all, a very pleasant experience. We would be happy to come back.
