This is not a 4 star hotel - maybe 2 or 3 stars. Location is good, close to La Rambla and Liceu metro. There are much better areas in Barcelona to stay, the alley where the hotel is located smelled of urine and was incredibly loud - we happened to be visiting when there was construction at all hours of the night and could not sleep through the jack hammering. On the first day of our stay, we had someone enter our room at 9am without knocking or any warning. It was so alarming and uncomfortable, we were jet lagged and trying to get adjusted. No sound proofing internally, could clearly our neighbors and others walking by in the hallway. Do not recommend.
