The place is luxurious and stylish, met needs. The units are great-sized with a balcony. The location is stunning and beautiful and so close to all the popular tourist attractions as well as restaurants nearby. Marina Bay by Moncho's, where you can eat lunch, is not too far from the hotel.

Stayed here for 3 nights with my young children, had an amazing stay. The staff was extremely friendly, and requests were handled quickly. The location was perfect and amazing for exploring Barcelona. Had brunch in the Bar Marina, located nearby. The Michelin-starred restaurant was SMALL with lots of meals in the menu.

The hotel was a brilliant place for enjoying a very pleasant area, near to excellent restaurants locally, Barcelona for a business trip, and all the clubs. The room was really big, and we had a marvellous view of the sea. Perfect location - just a walk down to everywhere we needed. Lucky that it was approx 10-15 minutes' walk from Triomf Doner, offering food to go.

It was a nice and imposing hotel in a great area, near both the beach and the city center, and most areas. The location was great, for example, a history museum was approx 10-15 minutes' walk from the property. The food in the Michelin star rated restaurant was different and reasonably priced.

Sincerely, it was a really nice stay for younger travellers. Loved my superior room with great view, classic design, for instance. The pool was nice and I had hot drinks in the rooftop bar. The location was magnificent in a touristic area, just off the marina, a taxi, and nearby restaurants. I tried some drinks at bar The Coconut Club, located 5 minutes walk away.
