Reviews
On my -1 it's located their spa zone. The spa however it is not exactly part of the hotel it's an external company, so you need to call to book a slot and that slot is 30 minutes only per day per person, which I didn't find written on their website.
The other surprise it is that they have 150€ deposit for incidentals.
The hotel is located on la Ramble, sadly with the current construction is loosing its charm and the fact that is at la Ramble is actually a disadvantage. The street itself where the hotel is it's a quiet and clean one but as soon as you reach the main one it becomes dirty and also doesn't feel very safe. Multiple people in thr evenings trying to sell weed, lots of homeless people.
Our room was on the 2nd floor and had a view to an indoor "artificial garden". It was quiet.
The room itself was nice, huge bed, tall ceilings.
I would add some constructive comments, though.
The spa was very beautiful, but unfortunately when we were there, the sauna steam room was out of play, which was disappointing. you were allowed 30 minutes complimentary use of the spa area which was complimentary.
I’ve particular note was the very efficient and professional young reception team earn cocktail staff..
There is a lovely pool on the roof with some lovely lounges to sit on and a bar. Don’t forget to pop upstairs to use it.
All in all a super hotel, which we will definitely use again.
One really useful note at the top of the road there is a square I think it was called Catalan Square. You can get the a two or A1 bus for €7.50 to take you back to Barcelona airport very useful for people like us who like to get about using the local transport and not just taxis which can be expensive at times. The bus only took about 30 minutes which was the same as our taxi from the airport.
I was disappointed, as we don’t usually book hotels this expensive, and I had chosen it especially for my partner’s birthday. The staff offered to make up for it with complimentary breakfast or a drink, which was a lovely gesture, but I would have appreciated an email before our arrival mentioning that some facilities were unavailable. I had the option to cancel the reservation the day before, and I likely would have done so. When I booked the spa slots in advance via email, there was no mention of the issue either.
The room itself was not particularly special for the price paid—some things were broken. It wasn’t a major problem, but at this price point, I expected everything to be in excellent condition.
Overall, while the staff were absolutely lovely and helpful, the stay didn’t feel worth the cost. For next time, I think it’s better to book a more affordable hotel if you’re planning to spend most of your time outside anyway.
