"Very comfortable and clean"
We were greeted with a nice warm smile from reception, took the lift to our room on the seventh floor, opened the door and was greeted with a clean room with all the amenities that we could have asked for. Bathroom well stocked with smellies and clean towels. The air con worked very well and kept us cool and confortable during the evening. Excellent location just around the corner from the cathedral and walking distance to las rambles. Highly recommended.....

"A good experience in the main. Room quite pleasant but could hear constant noise of operating lifts "
A good experience in the main . Staff very friendly and helpful in assistance and information provided. I liked the location , about 8 minutes from La Sagrada Familia by foot and near a metro line , Girona, direct to a beach area called Barceloneta. Lots od cafes, and tapas bars and supermarkets all nearby also. However my single room had an ajoining door to the next room - I did not like this - could hear some unlpeasant noises as a result. Also , I specifically asked for a quite room and as my room was almost next to the lift shaft I could constantly hear a reasonably loud matal chicking type noise whenever the lifts were in motion - regardless of the floor they were stopping on. However I would be happy to stay at this hotel again.
