The hotel has beautiful Spanish decor and ambiance in its excellent rooms. The service is extremely accommodating and full of information, especially from Ms. [Name]. The location is perfect for relaxing after a busy day in Barcelona, near the city square yet secluded and not noisy. The dining options are superb with a wonderful rooftop view, but it's a bit pricey. The historic hotel started in 1919 and nearing its 100th anniversary.

My stay at the hotel was a luxurious and relaxing retreat from my days filled with touring adventures. The rooms were beautiful with an expansive bathroom, but there was a huge stain on the carpet, and the room felt a bit small. The service was top-notch, with over-the-top staff who were universally friendly and displayed professionalism and warm friendliness expected from a high-caliber hotel. The location was extremely convenient, allowing easy access to major underground stations and attractions, though a bit far for walking to the old town or waterfront. The dining experience was excellent, with an array of options beyond imagination. Overall, a great stay despite a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful, clean, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxation or enjoying a cocktail while listening to live music. Room 604 was spacious and faced the street, offering plenty of natural light. The privacy spread across three floors was a bonus, making it a great value for money.
