We stayed at this hotel for two nights in late August. As many reviews have noted, the location is its strongest asset. The complimentary coffee machines and croissants on the first floor were a pleasant touch, particularly when enjoyed in the courtyard. The split AC unit also cooled the room effectively.
That said, our interior standard double room was uncomfortably small (no room for even a chair to sit on). One side of the bed was pushed against the wall, making it awkward to access. The shower lacked a door, causing water to spill into the bathroom area and leaving the floor slippery. The elevator, while typical of smaller hotels, was slow and noisy.
The biggest disappointment, however, was the blanket (comforter). It was stored in the closet without a bag, and when we unfolded it, debris came out. We also noticed a stain, suggesting it had not been cleaned. When we raised this with the front desk, we were told, “We don’t use blankets in summer.” The manager, Sandra, did promptly provide a substitute blanket and, recognizing our frustration, kindly offered to move us to a larger room and sent a complimentary bottle of wine. We declined the move since we had already unpacked and were too tired, and we returned the wine before checkout.
"Boutique" hotels in Barcelona are not inexpensive. (We paid about $234 per night for this one). Perhaps it is worth paying a little more to stay at a standard hotel.
Overall: 4 stars for location, but only 2–3 stars for room comfort
