Right in the city center. Location is great! Staff is very polite, friendly and helpful. Building is quite new, rooms are clean and modern. Everything is perfect! P.S. Shisha in the rooftop bar costs starting from 80 Euros. That would be too much even for Switzerland and this is Spain... Not sure why it's so expensive, didn't try it eventually.

A good hotel, which we would have given 4 out of 5 for but because of the price and in certain areas, a lack of attentiveness, it puts it down to the ok category. We don’t have one specific hotel that we stayed in that we think is ‘the best’ but more an amalgamation of different parts from different hotels and having had high hopes for the Almanac, there isn’t anything that they did there that was equal or better than any of our current other favourite hotels. Staff, although very friendly weren’t exactly, speedy or attentive, especially at breakfast. Things weren’t great from start but having got over there being no bath in a 5* bathroom (the shower was fairly immense though) it became obvious that our room hadn’t been properly made up - ther were half consumed items in the minibar and missing toiletries from the bathroom. Also, having a mobile phone to take around with you in Barcelona might seem a good idea, but I would hope from a legal point of view that they do a better job of erasing the numbers dialed inbetween guests. The previous residents (or staff?) had made a number of calls to the UAE which I probably shouldn’t have been able to call back... Generally the hotel is nice and maybe we were unlucky, but there are silly things that maybe with a bit more hindsight they could have sorted out eg the tiny lifts that are hilariously non-United States citizen friendly, quite a lot of plumbing noise from other rooms and no soundproofing through to the corridor.

Neuer, unaufdringlicher 5 Sterne Standard

Sehr zentral gelegenes Stadthotel in unmittelbarer Nähe von Placa Catalunya und Passeig de Gracias. Sehr geschmackvolles, modernes Stadthotel. Der Service ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich jedoch völlig relaxed und unaufdringlich.

Modernes Hotel in der City

Trotz unmittelbarer Centrumslage hört man in den Zimmern keinen Lärm. Der Service ist top und das Essen ausgezeichnet. Das Frühstücksbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
