    Fantastic location
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 6 nights

    From Booking.com, I thought breakfast was included -- but it wasn't. Hallways had this weird modernist setup with fluorescent ropes surrounding each doorway which was very annoying.

    Location was fantastic -- could not have asked for better. In the artsy Born neighbor, it was close to restaurants and shops, but was not loud at night. It was a 10min walk to the gothic quarter, 30 min walk to Sagrada familia, a couple minute walk to the train station. We took several tours, and all met within 10min walk.

    It would have been nice to have a couple of chairs and a light in our room for sitting and talking or reading. (The room was very spacious but there was almost no furniture in one half of it)

    Wonderful room (with terrace), very stylish shower, sink, and toilet facilities, loved the mirrors and ceiling moldings. Bed was super comfortable. Terrace was lovely in the evenings. Very quiet too. We were on the back of the hotel so there was no street noise, and there was no noise from any other guests either. Staff was very helpful.

    The room needed some maintenance and a bit of a facelift! The shower door didn't close properly and the toilet was very difficult to flush.

    The location was perfect for our stay and the room was very comfortable. The bedding an towels were fresh and clean. The staff were courteous and helpful.

    The room 7 is quite big and pleasant so why not adding a desk ? I had to take some calls and do some work and could only sit on my bed, holding my computer on my legs. Not super convenient.

    The A/C wasn’t really an A/C. Just pushed around warm air. Tried the thermostat at different settings and that didn’t seem to work. Had to sleep with the balcony door open every night for fresh air. Also, a heads up that the check in was in a separate door/ building would’ve been nice.

    I liked that it was close to everything. The hotel room was creative and beautiful. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

    That my room was a bit cold

    A Lovely and Artistic Stay I had a really nice stay here! The staff were genuinely lovely and welcoming, and the whole place has such an interesting and artistic atmosphere—it even smells good, which I appreciated more than I expected. The breakfast was minimalistic, but fresh, nutritious, and just what I needed to start the day. The only thing I’d mention is that the heater in my room was off during my stay. I totally understand this might be due to the warmer daytime temperatures, but the room did feel quite cold at night. Also, there was some noise from outside, but I quickly got used to it—and with earplugs, I slept like a baby. All in all, it’s a beautiful concept and I would love to come back—especially if they give my room a little warmth next time!

    No phone charger points in our room. Full breakfast was not available 45 minutes before the designated closure time.

    Interesting decor, with an imaginative modernisation of an older property. Also a good location for access to the restaurant area of Barcelona.

    Sound carries between rooms, so, not totally 🤐

    The location in Born is superb. Close to the harbour, the Picasso centre, the Cathedral,etc. It's also close to a metro stop. The hotel is really stylish - modern chic in an old palace. The staff are great.
