Very nice and clean hotel - the staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms and layout very modern. Location wise is very good, right next the Arc de Triomf, handy to get to all touristic attractions in Barcelona, either walking distance or by public transport with good transportation links. One thing to be aware of is the room layout - good for solo travel or long-term couples, the bathroom layout gives very little privacy - the sink is in the room and the shower has glass walls.

A very modern and stylish hotel in a convenient location. Very large bed, but rest of room quite cramped with little storage space for clothes (we were there for a week). Would probably be perfect for a shorter "city break" type stay.

Overall good. My shower had some maintenance problem, it was leaking water a lot every time I take a shower. The rooftop needs more work. But overall good hotel to stay. It’s nearby all the touristic spots and it’s in a very nice street.

The property and staff were great. The rooftop bar and pool was excellent. The breakfast goes above and beyond the normal hotel breakfast. The hotel is within walking distance to most attractions. The only issue I had was the floor in my room. It was pretty filthy and looked as though it hadn't been mopped in quite awhile. Everything else though was clean.
