The room seemed pretty clean.
Facilities: Most basic amenities are provided, except for toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers. Bottled water was given on the first day of check-in.
Hygiene: Okay.
Environment: A bit noisy, not quiet enough.
Service: You can leave your key at the front desk for safekeeping every time you go out, which is convenient.

Great location, and the cleanliness was okay, but something really strange happened. Someone else's toothbrush mysteriously appeared in my cup, and the hotel couldn't provide a reasonable explanation.

Very satisfied with this hotel.
The room was clean, the location is convenient with many restaurants nearby, and the service was excellent and impressive.

Check-out at 12:00 noon is very considerate.
The breakfast was also great.

But, I was in the newly renovated room on the 8th floor did not have bathrobes or slippers.
This is not acceptable for a 4-star+ hotel.
Hope this can be improved.

Getting around is super convenient, as it's right next to the metro station. Casa Mila and Casa Batlló are within walking distance. Plus, the airport bus terminal is just a five-minute walk away. The hotel staff were warm and friendly.

Great location and convenient.
Nice view from the terrace.
Pillows are comfortable.
However, the hairdryer's power is very weak.

NO AC!!! BEWARE! our family could not sleep at all the room was consistently between 26 and 28 degree celsius even it’s in January when outside is like 5 degrees, the hotel should have noted they have AC or ventilation problem so travelers can decide respectfully.
What a pity as location and staff are amazing. Our one bedroom is also good size for a family of 3. They had technician checked and cleaned the filters, we opened windows in the bedroom and living room (no use) Room was still hot, they end up providing 2 not-too-strong fans and managed to add circulation to the rooms. Our toddler couldn’t fall asleep until 11pm and we couldn’t stop sweating. It was a very difficult and long night for us especially after a full day of walking and an early flight to catch next day. I want to emphasize the staff are amazing throughout, this is entirely the hotel’s facility problem.
At check out another hotel guest came over and shared her room had no AC and circulation she could not sleep the whole night as well. Looking at google reviews it’s obvious this was not a “one off” incident apparently it’s been an ongoing issue dated even 5 yrs ago.
We brought a baby monitor and you can see the temp on the little screen.
If not because of this problem we will definitely return and recommend but unfortunately hotel failed to fix this ongoing issue nor did they notify guests beforehand.

The hotel's location is excellent, right next to the subway station and very close to a shopping mall. The facilities are a bit old but generally good.

We booked for three nights, and from the second night onwards, the room next door unexpectedly started undergoing maintenance, producing noise as shown in the video, making it difficult to rest! Although the hotel did move us to a different floor for the third night upon our request, they didn't offer any apology or compensation.

Overall, it's a hotel worth staying at if there's no noise. A bit disappointed.

The soundproofing between rooms and in the hallway isn't great. However, the double-glazed windows facing the street block out all noise when closed. The real issue was the stuffy room due to no air conditioning on a hot day; opening the windows made it noisy. Housekeeping did a good job daily. The key system is unique: you drop your key into a box at the ground floor bar when you leave and exchange your room card for it when you return. The staircase on the first floor is beautiful, and having a subway station right outside is very convenient.

While admittedly not cheap, this is a historic building that once hosted The Beatles, and it's in a very central location, just a few hundred meters' walk from Casa Batlló and El Corte Inglés. We were a party of three, and the large bed was comfortable; the sofa bed provided was also excellent, with my daughter happily sleeping on it and saying it was very cozy. The hygiene was superb. The lobby bar on the ground floor had very reasonable prices, and they don't charge a service fee, plus the quality of the drinks/food was good. For breakfast, they offered fresh-squeezed juice, Nesquik, and even decaf coffee capsules! Slippers, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and all other amenities were readily available, and the room was spacious. They even provided a travel kit (small tubes of hand cream, lip balm, etc.), which was beyond our expectations. Although we couldn't check in upon our early morning arrival, they kindly stored our luggage and later proactively brought it up to our room. The room view was lovely. All in all, we had a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely stay here again if I get the chance to visit Barcelona. It would be even better if the complimentary water wasn't just provided on the first day of check-in, and replenished if used later.
