Hamburger breakdown!
I had a terrible experience in the rooftop pool restaurant. First, there was no staff at that pool bar. I had to go down to the restaurant on the ground floor so they could send staff up. I ordered a hamburger. After a long wait with a luke warm beer, I got my hamburger and cut the first bite. It was raw and cold inside. The staff had disappeared. I had to take my plate and take the elevator down to the lower floor and the restaurant there. I spoke to the butler who apologized and promised to come up with a new one. Back to the roof. A new hamburger arrived after 20 min. Cut up a piece. Same thing again. Completely raw and cold inside. I manage to call the waiter before he had disappeared and announce that this was unbelievable. Same thing again. Raw hamburger. He apologizes and announces that he will immediately get a new one. I'm waiting.... The waiter now came back with? .... the same hamburger I just cut a piece off. Now reheated. And with the same fries that have been going up and down the hotel for about 1 hour.... Not crispy directly! I go straight down and complain and get apologies from the manager with a promise to get the money back for the burger (not the beer). And receive a gift in the form of the hotel's own Cava as a goodwill gift. Unfortunately, the ice bucket is not sealed, so the shelf where the bucket stood is soaked and has soaked everything that was on the shelf: books, clothes etc. It didn't really work as a goodwill gift!

Don’t be fooled! Book the W hotel instead!
Too expensive for what it is! You could stay at the W with massive rooms and many amenities for less than here. The bar downstairs isn’t really open ever. The front desk staff was amazing. But beyond the front desk and bell hop they were not so friendly. In the gym we started to workout and the staff came to vacuum as we worked out, very odd. The rooms were not at all like pictured on the site. It’s a decent modern hotel but I’d say 7-7.5. Was very disappointed in the $1ks euros for two nights and the staff barely acknowledged us for drinks or food orders.

One of the best hotel experiences ! Staff were very attentive and friendly. Made us feel welcome at any interaction with them, no matter who the staff member was or what their role was. The hotel is fresh, clean and comfortable. Never felt used and tired.... as is often the case with other hotels. The room was very clean, each day. If I could give this hotel a higher rating than the usual 5 stars, I would. Highly recommend it !

8/10 Very Good

Check-in gave us such a good impression - Xavi, Irene and Cris were wonderful, attentive and polite. Jaume from the restaurant was also attentive and thoughtful. Based on our interactions with these members of the staff, I would have given the hotel a 5 star across the board. Monica from breakfast, however, was extremely rude. When we came for breakfast, she immediately said we had to move (didn't ask us, told us) and insinuated that we didn't know it was 20 euro each (which we knew and had no problem with). Then, she and the guy in the suit (didn't catch his name) welcomed other guests with additional breakfast options we were not given (omelette and other kitchen offerings). On this interaction alone, I would have given a 2 but I gave a 4 because the other members of the staff were exceptional from start to finish.
