It is an elegant welcoming hotel, with a stylish modern lobby and spacious slick rooms, with a nicely fit retro touch. I stayed three days on a business trip, through my company's booking, for an event at Fira de Barcelona. The location was convenient, as it is close to the venue, but also a short walking distance to the touristic part of the city -and Paral-lel metro is just outside the hotel. Mind though, given the proximity to Apollo Centre, street noise in the night might be annoying -especially if one stays in a front side low floor room. Other than that, everything was smooth, and the service was attentive and effective in all aspects; lastly the breakfast was above average, comprising both the standard options, but also a local touch. It is an option I would reconsider, when back in the city, maybe opting for a backside room this time.

First of all, we loved this hotel. The staff was great and the rooms were lovely. However....we were robbed in the lobby restaurant during the day at a corner table. We had checked in the day before and had dinner at the SAME table. Our kids had flown in the second morning and had rested in our room since their rooms were not available. In the early afternoon the adults came down and we were playing cards. A female employee brought us chips without us asking. Later she brought olives. Again without a request for them. I recognized her as the hostess from the upstairs restaurant where we had lunch that day. A man wearing a Michigan shirt came and sat directly next to my daughter. There wasn't another person in the restaurant. I said "GO BLUE". He just looked at me. I repeated myself and my son in law said in Spanish, "your t-shirt" and pointed to his shirt. Coincidence that he walked in off the street? Perhaps... I looked up to see him walking away rapidly and my son in law realized that his phone and wallet that he had sat on the shelf behind my daughter were gone. In Spain you must report your crime and then the police look at the security video. We went to report and the police said we don't speak English...they couldn't have cared less. The hotel wouldn't allow us to view the security tapes. A very unhappy start to our vacation.
