Nice rooftop terrace with a bar, perfect for chilling out with friends at night.
Felt secure, no reason to complain.

The hotel is conveniently located near the St Pau metro stop, making it very easy to get to by public transport from the airport. It is also very close to the metro station, allowing for quick access to the different parts of the city. In the opposite direction, guests can easily reach the montjuic fountain, a popular tourist attraction. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with amenities such as a power shower and soft pillows. The staff is friendly and helpful, providing a warm welcome to returning guests. The breakfast buffet offers a good mix of traditional Turkish foods and western options. The hotel also offers special packages with included extras, such as wine and dinner, making the stay even more enjoyable.
Some noise from surrounding areas could be heard, but it didn't disrupt the overall stay.

Right by a metro station, with access to all the main tourist spots. Close to everything, with the option of a short taxi ride if needed. The breakfast had something for everyone and the staff were friendly and helpful. Clean and spacious rooms with everything you need.
Nothing, all was good.

We had a fantastic stay here! The location couldn't have been better, with the underground virtually right outside the main entrance door. The staff provided an excellent service and went out of their way to make our holiday more enjoyable, not only in the restaurant but also at the reception desk when we arrived early. They were always available to help us with anything we needed and could n't have been better - great service!

Great view from the room and rooftop terrace. Convenient location with a metro station nearby. Breakfast had a wide selection of options.
Noisy street and persistent street people in the area made feel uncomfortable and unsafe. Rooftop bar was never open.

Good location, close to airport and attractions. Friendly staff, gave great dining tip. Silent aircon, surprising and efficient. Clean and comfortable room, just needed a mirror for blowdrying. Great breakfast, fresh and delicious.

We were really surprised when the hotel upgraded us to the skyline suite for my husband's birthday. It was such a lovely gesture from the hotel and made our trip even more special. The suite itself was amazing, and we were also treated to a complimentary bottle of Cava. The location of the hotel was perfect, just a short walk to las rambles. The breakfast spread was fresh and delicious, with a great variety to choose from. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely return here again. highly recommended!
