The hotel staff were very welcoming and were very responsive to any requests made. The hotel was very clean and cosy. There are beautiful views from the rooftop bar & pool area. A couple of main attractions are relatively close (approximately 10-15 mins walk away) - the main high street (La Rambla) & the beach. Everything else is more or less a couple mins away, shops, restaurants, coffee shops etc which for me was very convenient. All in all, a brilliant hotel, with very friendly staff, situated at a brilliant location. 10/10 from me. Thanks Jibbs

Sehr freundliches Personal, sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel ist schön und sauber, der Boden in den Zimmern wird täglich nass aufgenommen. Die Bar zuoberst auf dem Dach bietet einen tollen Blick auf die Stadt. Unser Bett war sehr bequem. Frühstücksbüffet besteht aus allem, was man sich wünscht. Einziges kleines Minus war,dass die Abgrenzung zum Bad nur durch eine Schiebetür existiert und man alles hören kann. Aber ansonsten wirklich ein tolles Hotel. Wir reisten in der Nebensaison im April.
