 The hotel does not have the ideal location so I would suggest a bit of research beforehand if having to arrange travel from the airport for example Taxi probably best if travelling with suitcases but as we only hand luggage we used the train metro which took about 50 minutes but was very cost effective It s a good 20 minute walk to Catalunya Square or to the Port area but there are plenty of bars on route and the large park where the Arc de Triomf monument is situated is also within easy walking distance The Bogatell metro station less than 5 mins walk There is a cocktail bar next door to the hotel called D9 which we found very good for food and drink 
 The staff were very friendly and welcoming Housekeeping was of a high standard and the rooms were spotless as a result In fact the hotel in general was well appointed The reception and bar area was impressive and the spa is excellent This a very good hotel
