The hotel staff were very pleasant, patient and friendly. We were made to feel comfortable and that all of our needs were met. The buffet breakfast was standard and the options were always refilled quickly and kept tidy. The hotel has the train and bus services right outside your door! I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was amazing. The staff were great and provided superb customer service. The only suggestion is the gym was not equipped with heavyweights to conduct my regular training routine. Other than that everything was great.

I arrived in Barcelona very early in the morning. The hotel staff stored my luggage in a safe, locked location while I toured the city. Later when it was time to check in, the first room they put me in smelled of smoke. When I told them, they immediately relocated me to a different room that did not have any smoky odors. The staff was always pleasant and helpful for my entire stay.
