The hotel was very spacious and better than described, perfect for all of us. However, the rooms were a bit small and felt slightly too expensive. The staff, especially Huc, Marta, and Jostin, were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to Cristopher Columbus statue, Rambla, and the metro station, with a beautiful harbor view. The dining experience was of very good quality and continuously restocked in the morning.
