Hotel Central

The hotel was small enough for staff to recognize you as a guest and to have nice conversations They took excellent care of anyone who d enter the lobby and were very helpful There are some very nice spaces like the library one of our kids needed to study a bit and this was a great space there was also the nice and light breakfast restaurant and the rooftop terrace with infinity pool There was always fresh cold lemon water in the lobby available and there were apples and sweets as well Personnel on all floors were helpful and genuinely smiling

The only thing we really didn t like was that one day staff was smoking in the rooftop pantry kitchen and that a chef was seen picking sliced fruit from containers and putting it in his mouth with his bare hands and licking fingers Despite the fact that the roof wasn t open to just everyone from the street it did get a bit crowded up there and we feel personnel should help a bit more to keep people from hogging the beds and the sofa s with towels while not actually using them for sometimes an hour or longer on end We had to wait and couldn t sit to eat and drink while others had left their towels to reserve a space I guess the waiters were just too nice to remove them

Very luxurious hotel in heart of Barcelona s gothic quarter

The terrace and the pool on the top offers breathtaking views while relaxing in the sun Although limited amount of places was occasionally challenging The reception staff is polite attentive and professional Location provides easy walk access to most of the things in the city

The only thing that constantly was nagging us was the actions of the staff during breakfast They missed the order quite often i e bringing black tea or even coffee instead of ordered green bringing hard boiled instead of soft boiled eggs bringing two eggs on several occasions even though we explicitly ordered one etc Not a big deal especially that otherwise the selection of food was excellent

great location very clean and modern style easy access to main attractions City tour bus stop only a few minutes away

Roof top view not as advertised but ok

Location was very good

We did not like the black walls and very dark corridors

Great location Lovely smell Helpful and polite staff Superb pool bar on the roof terrace

The shower leaked The cleaner didn t remove a dirty glass from our room

Location Staff Roof Terrace Relaxed feel it s got it all
