Can’t find a single reason to not stay there again.
Can’t find a single reason to not stay there again. Modern clean and tidy plus the staff were very helpful. The breakfast was excellent value and delicious Bonus was that there were no children. Can’t fault it.

La ubicación increíble, en pleno centro. La terraza era un poco complicada de acceder, ya que siempre había mucha gente.

Excellent emplacement dans le quartier Eixample à proximité immédiate du métro, des restaurants. C'est pratique pour visiter Barcelone aussi bien à pied qu'en transports en commun. Un parking est proposé pour 30 euros la journée. Excellentes prestations, piscine en rooftop, belle salle de musculation, bon petit déjeuner varié. Belle chambre et literie confortable. À noter pour information, qu'il s'agit d'un établissement principalement fréquenté par une clientèle gay et de nombreux couples homosexuels. Il me semblait utile de le préciser car ce n'est pas clairement indiqué sur Booking. La salle de bain est petite.
