I wanted to love this hotel, but it fell short. We stayed at 4 locations during our trip to BCN and the surrounding area and this was the most expensive, with the least value. We booked the Terrace room for its outdoor space, which was more expensive than the standard rooms. The day before our stay, the hotel reached out saying they had a room upgrade available which was much nicer than the “first floor, interior-facing, enclosed atmosphere” room we had booked. That upgrade was over €500 per night EXTRA and would have more than doubled the cost of our stay. It was off-putting to tell us our room was “meh” and then offer something twice as expensive before we even arrived. The room itself was a tiny shoebox with a tiny bathroom. There was barely enough room for the queen sized bed. The terrace room has an outdoor patio - which is why we booked it - but when we arrived it was completely covered in bird poop. There was not a single piece of furniture that was usable. Not their fault, but we had to ask several times for the patio to be cleaned so it was usable. The pool is tiny with only 3 lounge beds that are exposed to the sun. These were always full. The restaurant menu was disappointingly small. The location was also a bit outside the main shopping areas. We stayed closer to the Barcelona Cathedral on our second leg in BCN and found that area more lively. And to top it off, on the final morning of our stay, at around 8 am, someone entered our room while we were sleeping.
