The hype
Travelers are blown away by the view and location but often underwhelmed by the small, basic rooms and thin walls.

Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The rooftop terrace offers a literal front-row seat to Gaudi's masterpiece (200m away)
- Rooms with 'Landmark View' let you wake up staring directly at the Nativity Façade
- Located in a quieter, residential pocket of Eixample but right next to the metro
Snel Overzicht: You are paying for the view, not the room size or luxury service—manage your expectations accordingly.
Beoordeeld door @Globusgefluester: I booked this room specifically for the view, and it blew my mind. Opening the curtains to see the Sagrada Familia towering over me was emotional. It’s small, but having that private balcony to enjoy coffee while staring at Gaudi’s masterpiece made it totally worth it.

Reality check
The 'Landmark View' is real and spectacular, but the 'soundproof' rooms often fail to block out hallway noise and street bustle.
- Your main goal is photography and seeing the Sagrada Familia 24/7
- You prefer a self-sufficient stay and don't need concierge hand-holding
- You want to be near the action but away from the chaos of Las Ramblas

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Do I need a reservation for the rooftop bar?
Yes. While guests can usually go up to 'look' for free, sitting at a table requires a reservation, which books up weeks in advance for sunset.
Is there a pool?
No. There is a solarium with a small jacuzzi and sun loungers, but no swimming pool.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not. It costs ~€18/person. It's a decent buffet but many guests prefer local cafes for better value.
How close is the Sagrada Familia?
Literally one block away (200 meters). You can see the construction cranes from the hotel entrance.
Is there a gym?
No standard gym. They partner with 'KOA Center' for paid personal training sessions on the rooftop, but there are no treadmills for free use.
Is it safe at night?
Yes, Eixample is a safe, residential area. Just practice standard big-city caution with pickpockets near the metro.
Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Guests get priority access to the rooftop, but if you want the prime sunset table, book it online 2 weeks out even if you are staying there.
- ✨
The 'Tower of Jesus Christ' is the main construction focus for 2025/2026 — you'll have a front-row seat to history.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 2 mins to 'Forn de Pa' for fresh pastries at a fraction of the price.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The 'Juliet balconies' in some rooms are often locked shut for safety, so don't expect to step out.
💡The rooftop bar food is essentially 'snack bar' quality (tapas, burgers) — go for drinks, eat dinner elsewhere.
💡There is a 'chill-out area' on the roof distinct from the solarium that is often quieter.
💡The elevators can be painfully slow during peak check-out times (10-11 AM).
💡You can see the Sagrada Familia's 'Star of the Virgin Mary' light up at night directly from the terrace.
