It was like an oasis in a busy area. They really planned it well with a beautiful terrace outside, nice bar area and lovely restaurant . It looked and felt like we were in Tuscany. Great music playing on the terrace also. Very mellow. The meals we had were very good, all the staff very friendly. We had a junior suite which gave us a lot of room to move around plus a small kitchen. The huge bed was very comfortable and the shower was great! Joan and Rashida were so friendly and helpful and spoke good English to us.

You could hear the road traffic from our room, but that was our room location. It didn’t keep us awake. The kitchen could be stocked better, but when I mentioned it they said they’d bring me any dishes I needed.

Everybody at the hotel, at the reception, at the restaurant, at the event space, delivered exceptional service (except the gentleman responsible for breakfast, see below). They were extremely helpful and customer oriented and bent over backwards to give us the best experience! For example, I gave a blouse to the laundry and said it would suffice to have it back 2 days later – it was done within hours. My colleague is a celiac, they always made sure her gluten-free bread came freshly toasted when we sat down. The employees taking care of us during our workshops were very caring and prepared a gluten-free menu for her during lunch. Everybody displayed genuine interest and friendliness and there was a lot of laughing.

The gentleman at the breakfast. He was impolite, always gave us the feeling we were disturbing his routine. He opened the breakfast late and became defensive about a comment and he wanted the breakfast room to be cleaned up by 9:30. That was utterly inacceptable! Also, for a business hotel, breakfast should really start at 6:00 or 6:30, 7:00 is too late and puts pressure on you. When you leave the reception and walk towards the room on the ground floor, there was always a smell of sewage which was a bit uncomfortable.

Great value. I usually stay there when visiting our Sant Cugat offices. It has very clean, modern and spacious rooms. Great breakfast. It has a shopping mall nearby, where you can find several places to eat (mostly fast food)
