The hotel is situated almost in the very center of Barcelona, above a restaurant, and towards the interior garden. It offers a charming and welcoming service, with a short bearded waiter who went above and beyond to accommodate us. While the dining experience included delicious French toasts, the location was a bit chaotic, feeling somewhat like headless chickens in a restaurant. The value for money could be improved with better pricing options.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's prime location, right in the heart of Barcelona close to various attractions. The rooms are modern, with a choice of overlooking the beautiful Parc de Ciutadella or the interior garden, though the lack of air conditioning could be a downside. The service was exceptional, especially from the short bearded waiter who made us feel incredibly welcome. The dining experience was satisfying, and being located above a restaurant added to the convenience. The hotel's facilities were adequate, making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, close to the beach and within easy reach of numerous restaurants. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience could improve with more breakfast options. On the bright side, the pool area is well-maintained and delightful. The pricing is fair, but the separate Wi-Fi charge is a bit of a downside.
