8/10 Very good

The location was very good, the rooms are very small, no space for even a small suitcase. I travel all the time, and would give this hotel a 3.5-4 stars, mostly due to how small the rooms are. The restaurant is excellent, which can be unusual for hotel food.

The hotel us well placed and well maintained. The staff was awesome. The big issue we had is that we were in the first floor and there was limited sound buffer from outside. We could hear everything on the street all night.

Beautiful hotel--loved our stay! Perfect ending to our trip from Paris/London/South of France and Barcelona! Staff was SUPER helpful! Room was airconditioned--very much a necessity if there in summer. (from USA we take this for granted--not every hotel in Paris area had AC!) Great location and amazing rooftop pool! CanBo restaurant was delish! We ate there both nights after attempting others nearby that had no AC and staff issues. Highly recommend this hotel!!!LOVED Barcelona and this hotel!
