We had a great stay - the staff were friendly and the hotel had everything we needed. The pools were lovely and warm (in April) and not too crowded during the time we were there. The sauna was a great addition too. It’s right next to a great shopping centre with loads of food options, and a short walk to a lovely beach, as well as close to team, metro and bus stops into the city centre. We also stayed during the electricity blackout, and need not have worried as the hotel ran a backup generator to ensure there was a working lift, rooms and safes were accessible, hot food was available, you could charge your phone downstairs in the lobby and an ATM was on hand to get cash out which eased our stress a lot. The only complaints we had were the room had a bad smell quite a bit of the time, but this weirdly stopped when the electricity went off - we wonder whether it’s something to do with a ventilation system, but we’ve also seen other reviews mention this. The lifts were also very slow during busy times, so leave plenty of time to get downstairs if you’ve got somewhere to be! Overall though, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return next time we visit Barcelona.
