Beautiful hotel, impeccably maintained
Probably the best experience we’ve had a hotel — and we are not young. Everything was impeccable: the customer service: the restaurant; the rooftop bar; the concierges and Bess staff were especially accommodating. Only thing — don’t come for a poolside vacation. There’s only a wading pool with 4 deck chairs. :).
Finally, the location is perfect for tourists or business trips.

8/10 Very good
11 June 2024
Although our experience was wonderful and most of it due to the staff. There are some areas of improvement. For example the AC was not cold at all, even after having it blasting on the max setting for hours. We ordered room service on night and the food was not tasty and it was expensive. Word of advice DONT order room service, better just walk and hit any of the nearby restaurants, better prices and wayyyy tastier food.

4/10 Fair
28 May 2024
The good:
1. Clean rooms and relatively large
2. Great location and a helpful concierge
The bad:
1. Sensor for the room key broke and we were stuck outside our room for a while. The management did nothing to help compensate for this which we would expect for a 5 star hotel.
2. WiFi was terrible. To the point where we could not send emails or do any work. The staff needed to be reminded 3 times to fix this.
3. Gym is functional but tiny.
Bottom line, for 500-600 EUR a night this place is incredibly overpriced. Appropriate price range is probably 200-300. I’m a fan of luxury properties and I would never stay here again.

Besides being a 5-star hotel, what stood out to our family was the staff who went above and beyond to attend to our needs and just making us feel extra special. Special thanks to the all hotel reception staff especially Sabriena (don't recall exact spelling but the one from Italy) and Sameer who helped us with long term storage of our luggage and was exceptionally helpful. We will certainly be back on our next trip to Barcelona!
