This hotel was so good! My wife and I as well as our daughter (17) and sone (16) stayed three days after a cruise and we couldn't have asked for a better end to our epic Mediterranean vacation.
Every emplee we ecountered was extremely helpful. We felt special and we felt like the employees loved what they were doing, and not jsut going through the motions. I understand their director of operations (I think that's the title) Iris plays a large part in the smooth running of the hotel as well as the team focus on customer appreciation. So, well done Iris and team.
The property is located right off La Ramblas, a very cool street with lots of places to shop, eat and drink close by. The hotel is in the Gothic Quarter and is an excellent stepping off point for many sights and adventures in the heart of Barcelona. ~25 min walk to the beach, 5 min walk to Barcelona Cathedral, 2 min walk to Plaça Reial (great restaurants and fun street performers).
The hidden garden was a great oasis for us to escape the bustle and heat.
Food was good for both breakfast, and the tapas and drinks later in the day.
Clean and with good airconditioning (so important for mid summer in Barcelona).
