Independent Report
generalAn excellent superior tourist hotel, well up to 3-star standards, but officially graded as a 2-star with an ideal location and offering an Old World atmosphere. There's a parking garage in the building. (05/10) dv.
lobbyWalls and ceiling are paneled with a dark wood. Torch-like sconce lamps evoke an almost medieval look.
exteriorA mix of traditional and historic building with outdoors balconies, it is very in tune with the interior.
restaurantA large guest lounge and breakfast room are located on the first floor, where the mood of days gone by continues. Here you find colorful antique wooden chairs with gilt trim, large wall murals, and stained-glass windows. A lighter note appears in arched windows that open off the breakfast room to a small but lovely inner garden courtyard.
roomsAll rooms are traditionally furnished in Castilian style. Each is unique in decor, but with similar fittings of ornate painted headboards and coordinating chairs and chests. Some of these pieces of richly painted furniture are exceptionally handsome antiques, while others seem to be reproductions. All rooms have air conditioning, mini-bar, TV, hair dryers, and safe box, and the bathrooms are newly remodeled.
locationRight in the city centre, this property is on a small side street, just off the Plaza Universitat, next to Plaza Catalunya and the Contemporary Art Museum, and steps away from the popular Ramblas. Recommended restaurants, shops and tapas bars are next to it.
