spacious suite and excellent service
spacious suite corner view complete soundproofing secure area
the one-bed suite i was given was quite large, with a nice corner view of the city. it featured complete soundproofing, effectively blocking street noise, including sounds from a school nearby, i stayed on level 2. the area felt secure, frequented mainly by locals, and there was an authentic, affordable restaurant very close.
calling the front desk or housekeeping , i noticed they couldn't immediately identify the room or guest. unlike other similar establishments , i had to repeatedly state my name and room number. it's a minor point, but worth mentioning for consistency.
Dining
9/10
the breakfast buffet includes plentiful and delicious options, including several gluten-free choices for those with dietary needs. there are also two restaurants on site, so guests have multiple dining choices. i found many tasty options.
Rooms
10/10
the room was very large and decorated beautifully, the bed was comfortable. my room included a welcome drink and a snack upon arrival. the bathroom in the one-bedroom king suite was spacious and well-appointed.
Location

the hotel's location is convenient with taxis consistently available. it is within walking distance to a metro station. plaza espanya is also very close by. the neighborhood felt less touristy and quieter, but still within easy reach of major attractions.

the hotel has a rooftop bar and pool, offering excellent city views. there are spa facilities available, access was complimentary with my platinum ambassador status. the thermal suite at the spa provides a relaxing experience, i appreciated it.
