Great hotel just on the cusp of the water and perfect location to Gothic Quarter! The hotel was literally the perfect place, as we could walk to pretty much any end of Barcelona from it. With a plethora of restaurants around, we had no issues in finding a place to eat. The hotel staff was kind enough to hold our luggage since we arrived early and also allowed us to use the restrooms to change. There is a small restaurant with tea, coffee, pastries, and simple sandwiches. The rooms are appropriately sized for two people, although can get congested if you have a third. The amenities are wonderful, especially the bathrooms. However the air conditioning was broken during our stay and had been for months now but the hotel didn’t bother to fix given it was winter. The breakfast came with the room and was excellent - they had a fancy expresso machine, fresh orange juice, cheeses, slices of ham, croissants, and fresh fruit. The service was great and timely. The breakfast was served in baskets however our first morning I noticed some bugs in the baskets. The server was kind enough to replace us with new and we didn’t notice any after that. I suspect they may not wash them often since they’re decorative type. The rest of our stay was wonderful and had absolutely no complaints, I would definitely stay here again! Three stars only because of the bugs in the baskets and the air conditioning they did not inform us about.
