Had a fantastic stay! The early check-in was hassle-free, and the room was spacious and immaculately clean. The amenities provided made our stay super comfortable, and the breakfast was a great inclusion. Plus, the location is unbeatable - just a stone's throw away from the beach! Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing holiday getaway!

There is probably a reason this hotel is a tad cheaper than the rest.
I didn't get to experience the hotel because they cancelled my reservation a week before arrival. A reservation I did 1.5 months in advance.
According to them, I didn't prepay the first night with a link they sent me. I cannot find said link in my e-mail inbox nor in my spam folder, but whether or not this is true, I got no warning and wasn't contacted before they outright cancelled my reservation on a mail I did receive.
When I asked them to reactivate the reservation and send me a new link to prepay first night, I was told that I needed to make a new reservation that now costs around 200€ more.
Of principle I'll now find another hotel even more expensive than that or stay a bit outside the city.
I can see they sometimes say in here that the reviews are not for this hotel. In my case it definitely is and probably also at least the ones that has had the same story as me.

Everything was spotless and comfortable. Staff really friendly. Downstairs furnishings were really cool and comfortable. Very up to date. Our room wasnt so up to date. Very basic compared to the rest of the hotels appearance - could be 2 different hotels! The furniture in the bedroom was very worn. The fridge didnt really work. Not very cold at all. Shower - difficult to find a good temperature-got very hot, very quickly. Despite it being a room for 3, there were only 2 glasses and cups.
Good location for the beach and taxis outside.

GARBAGE. Booked a room 10 days ago only to find out the cancelled my reservation over a €100 pre payment fee that wasn’t paid (which went to my junk email) put my credit card info in the booking. I have never had a hotel send a separate link to pay for a pre payment feee in my life. Found them on booking.com and I wanted to be a good customer so I booked direct. No call, no nothing just a junk email that it was cancelled. If I didn’t check my junk email I would have showed up in Barcelona with no booking. I have already booked several other stays around Spain with no such issues. Called 5 times and they told me to wait for the reservation line to be open (3:00am my time) after calling they simply told me I was out of luck and tried to rebook me for $500 more then my original booking. Dodged a bullet with this hotel. No communication and no understanding. 4 star hotel (ya right). SB HOTELS, will never be a customer.

Disappointing Honeymoon Experience – Definitely Not a 4-Star Hotel!
My husband and I booked a room for our honeymoon and requested one with a double bed. Apparently, none were available, so the reception staff offered us a larger room with a jacuzzi instead. Unfortunately, that “upgrade” turned out to be a big disappointment — the jacuzzi didn’t work at all and was completely broken. It was basically just there for decoration.
The bathroom was dirty, with lots of stains and an old, broken shower that didn’t function properly. The sink was constantly clogged, and the water wouldn’t drain.
This is absolutely not a 4-star hotel! When you pay €1,782, you expect comfort and proper service — not a nightmare like this. They completely ruined our honeymoon and left us half-washed for an entire week 😅🤦♀️
I really wouldn’t recommend anyone to spend extra money here.
The only positive thing was the location — a lovely area, just a 5–10 minute walk from the beach. Unfortunately, that’s the only good thing I can say about this place.

If you're a light sleeper, you would definitely want to ensure you're not in a room facing the road. It gets too loud at night . Unbearable 😞.
Laundry services are also not the most convenient ones. To get laundry back in the same day, one is charged 50% of the cost.
Other than that, overall one can survive. Comfortable bed, proximity to sea, proximity to public transport, proximity to taxi line. All these don't count though if you can't have a good night's sleep due to activities by the road + loud party noises from passers-by.

The safe didn't work, the ventilation in the toilet didn't work, there was a power outage for a day, the door never opened, I always had to get a new card, that was no longer a holiday for me, I felt ripped off, never again. Very dirty too.

On the day of check-in, the hotel had no electricity until late in the evening.

Shower hot water was either scalding hot or cold. Need to replace tub/shower faucet to include temperature balancing valve (USA) to prevent scalding and produce an even temperature shower.
