I've stayed here two years ago and totally loved it ! The rooms are beautiful and spacious, and the view is incredible. The breakfast was delicious and the spa facilities are great. We even had a small attention for Valentine's Day, it was a nice surprise ! The hotel is not in the city center but the location is easy to reach by walk or public transport. I had a lovely stay and totally recommend it. Update : Stayed here again in Jan 2024, still my favorite hotel in Barcelona. I strongly recommend trying the rooftop bar, excellent cocktais !

Excellent on all accounts of room, service, and dining. We received a North facing room.. overlooking the beach. so beautiful. Room spacious and clean. Breakfast priced seem prohibtive so we never had their breakfast. (Wish we had tried but will do next time) We tried all 3 bars and almost identical but nice bar menu. Music very disco but not toooooo loud! (Apparently you can pruchase breakdfast included in tyour room price? but we walk 1/2 block to a beach side place and alway had a great time there too. "Honest Greens") . Do to date and time change I got confused and they expected us to check out a day early.. so our room was locked but they allowed us to stay.
