“The location is indeed superb, placing you within easy reach of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. However, while the rooftop infinity pool makes a splash, some may find the rooms need a little more attention to detail to truly meet five-star expectations. For those who prioritize location above flawless luxury, it's still a worthy consideration.”
