The hotel room was large and staff were friendly and even booked train tickets for us! The location is great, 5 mins away from La Ramblas and the hotel resturant was excellent. The only reason it has 4 stars is our room had no view. None the less, highly recommended and would stay again.

Hotel was well situated rooms clean and modern we even stayed in the suites on one occasion (sheer luxury) jacuzzi lounge and dining area.
Hotel near to metro, all the sights and the sea front however I could not stomach the breakfst the boiled eggs were always raw with water seeping from them. Other than that splendid.

great hotel. pool was excellent. panoramic views of the city whilst having a swim. room was spacious and very good. location is good, the side road to la rambla should be avoided at night, a few unsavouries!!!
but the metro is only two stops and your there. will definately go back to this hotel in the future.

Not bad at all. Considering some of the hotels that I had planned to stay in in Barcelona were horrible looking things, just yards from noisy dens of debauchery, I was extremely greatful to be here, in a (relatively) quiet street.
The close proximity to a tube station was also very welcome.
The staff were exceedingly friendly and responded to tourist Spanish in smooth English.
The rooms were very comfortable and an excellent base for exporing the city although I didn't check out the restaurant at all.
The 'king size' bed was in fact two singles pushed together but I only noticed on our second day so it couldn't have been all that bad...

Hotel rooms very comfortable. Higher floors have nice views, but not so lower down. Rooftop pool is small but wonderful. Great downtown location next to subway on a main street. If you like to walk everywhere this is not a super location as the neighborhood walking from hotel to the Ramblas is undesirable.

This is a modern hotel, that is located close to the Las Ramblas and the harbor area. Our room was spacious and nicely furnished. The staff was helpful, however we encountered a problem at checkout. We had booked the rooms to include breakfast, but the hotel charged us for breakfast. The desk clerk said they did not have a record that indicated breakfast was included and said they had experienced the same problems with guests who had made their reservations with accommodationow.com. The clerk asked for a printout of the email confirmation, but unfortunately, we did not have it. We paid the charges and are trying to resolve this problem with accommodationow.com.

We stayed here for 3 nights with a 16 month old baby and were a bit apprehensive about having a baby in a hotel room for 3 nights. The staff however could not have been more helpful with heating baby food etc. Apart from this the hotel is well situated close but not on Las Ramblas and is well within walking distance of most attractions. The roof top pool is a must to coll down in the evenings or to get the last bit of the sun.

We stayed here from the 7th to the 10th November 2003 and cannot fault the hotel.
The staff are courteous and efficient and the room was excellent. The maids did an excellent job cleaning the room everyday and the breakfast was lovely.
It is a well-positioned hotel within walking distance of Las Ramblas and the port and there is a Metro station (Paral.lel) right outside from which the whole of Barcelona can be reached and from which the Funicular to Montjuic can be caught. We could see the cable cars on Montjuic from our room which overlooked Ave. Paral.lel.

We just celebrated our 23rd.wedding anniversary in Barcelona. Our trip started quiet smoothly until we arrived at the Metro Paralel. A chap dropped his battery on purpose at the escalator causing a commotion and the other people were jammed behind one another, unable to get off.At this instant my husband lost his wallet,ID card,credit card and some foreign currencies, the chap was a professional "Pick-Pocket".The ladies at the reception were quick to react when they heard what happened and offered us help instantly.
They were very helpful and spoke very good English. To our surprise, after our unplesant schock, they upgraded our room and offered us a very spacious room with a view. All our disappointment on our first trip to Spain vanished, we did enjoy our weekend in Barcelona. The people at the hotel made a "BIG" difference!
I can recommend this hotel and shall definitely return! Just a word of warning travel light and be very cautious when travelling on the Metro.

We were pleasantly surprised with how nice this hotel was. We booked it online just a few days before arriving, and did not know what to expect. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly. We were happy to see there were no language barrier issues ... all the staff we encountered spoke English well. The location was perfect. We would stay here again.
