Had a couple nights stay at the hotel while I had a good stay, there was one thing that bothered me about the hotel which may make me choose another place next time - food - both in and around the hotel.||I arrived at 4 PM and was looking to eat, having come in from a long and delayed train ride. Only option at that time is room service until 7.30 PM. With the rooftop bar closed and the lobby not serving food, only option to eat was in Arrel(Quirat was closed on the days I was there) which has a limited fine dining menu and was expensive for Barcelona with small portions. Would have loved to see some Spanish/Catalan famous dishes. ||For a city and country with such amazing food and tapas, this is not acceptable. Breakfast was decent - but nothing special given the price of the stay. Would have loved to see some more local options. Service was good with fresh OJ and coffee refills being provided promptly. ||Room was amazing, huge king bed with a lounge area. Turndown service provided.|Spa was expensive for the treatment(starts at around 115 EUR). Hydration therapy pool and sauna/steam should be included for all guests - specially when the rooftop pool is shut. ||Staff were always polite and courteous. Hotel had some conference going on - so we had lots of corporate folks around. Location, while a bit far from the touristy part, worked for me as I could get everywhere in around 15-20 minutes.||I feel if the hotel improves on its food offering, it can more than make up for the location disadvantage it has when compared to other hotels in this price range.

Beautiful rooms, the lounge had perfect breakfast, good choices, free flowing champagne and spirits, the macarons were beautiful! Room service was a bit hit and miss but the food was great. We spent Christmas here and was a great location, the rooftop was absolutely stunning! And the pool was heated.
