Nice property - horrible front-desk
Check-in was horrible!! Joaquin should never be allowed to work the front desk. He has no inter-personal skills (nada) and just seemed to be an angry person when dealing with guests. The property was well kept and very clean in a nice area close to restaurants and bars. It was within walking distance to Passeig De Gracia which is great for people on a shopping trip. And back to Joaquin - horrible staff person!!

Possitives and Negatives
We recently stayed at this hotel as a couple and found the experience to be a mix of positives and negatives. Positives: The location is absolutely perfect, making it very convenient for getting around. The front office staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or requests. Negatives: Unfortunately, the room conditions were disappointing. The bed was very old, I even felt a bedspring in the mattress, which was concerning. While the bathrooms were cleaner than the rest of the room, cleanliness overall still needs improvement. For instance, the cups in the room had coffee stains and weren’t replaced until we specifically mentioned it. The floors were also dirty, which made the room feel unkempt. Another issue was the poor sound insulation. Early in the morning, the housekeeping staff made a lot of noise in the corridor, and it was loud enough to disturb our sleep. Until these issues are addressed, we wouldn’t recommend this hotel for a comfortable stay.

6/10 Good

Room was very small/very tight space for 2 males. 2 small drawers to unpack to, small hanger space, nowhere to set your bathroom stuff in the bathroom. What little desk space was cluttered with hot water pot, coffee cups etc and wine glasses and glasses if want something out of frig. Had to empty frog so I could put me meds that need to be kept cold in frig, and put coffee pot ets on floor so I could use the desk. It’s maybe a 3 star but lives like a 2 star. Staff was pleasant but not many of them. Skimpy with towels. Gym equipment is a rusty old nightmare. Rooftop bar plays their bad music as loud as possible which is to loud. Bar on roof can only make a handful of cocktails as it’s not a full bar. Overall disappointing but great location if want to be in gay scene.
