About

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Superb dining and breakfast — Guests consistently praise the breakfast buffet, both for its quality and the attentive service. The on-site restaurant and bar add to the appeal.
  • Spacious, beautifully designed rooms — Rooms are regularly described as big and comfortable, with stylish furniture and details like balconies, deep baths, and free minibars.
  • Attentive and friendly staff — From welcoming drinks to going out of their way to return lost items, the team earns frequent mention for their care and dedication.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Location is not central — The hotel sits outside the main tourist core, so expect a short metro or taxi ride to reach the city centre and major sights.
  • Price on the higher side — Rates reflect the 5-star positioning, and some guests may find the cost a stretch despite the added comfort.
  • Pets are not allowed — The hotel's policy excludes pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, which could be restrictive for late-night arrivals.

“I loved the decor. It's outside the city centre but only 7 minutes by metro to Catalunya. Close to the Diagonal shopping area, and nice to be away from the bustle. My room was magnificent — deep bath, desk, flat screens, balcony, and luxurious bed linen. Staff were friendly and helpful, and there are plenty of quality restaurants nearby.”
