What guests say about the pool
In their own words
It is located in the center of it all. Close to many attractions and food nice bar at the pool on the roof and in the lobby.
The SPA area is wonderful: a warm and very clean pool, hydro-massage loungers, a sauna, and a well-equipped fitness room – perfect for relaxing after a full day of sightseeing.
This one has two; one outdoor, and one indoor, in the vault that now contains the spa. It’s an urban hotel, but one with a decidedly resort-like atmosphere, though incongruously placed on the corner of Pintor Fortuny and La Rambla (Barcelona’s famous market boulevard).
