We decided to try this hotel based on recommendations read here; we were not disappointed. Our room was on the 5th floor, and, yes, we did hear the subway, but it didn't bother us. Room was otherwise quiet, and very clean, and when our room telephone malfunctioned, the staff fixed it immediately. Also, the day we arrived it was pouring rain; the staff had sturdy umbrellas available for us to borrow. The breakfast was very good, and the hotel is within walking distance of many nice shops, restaurants, and the metro and tourist bus line. Staff spoke English, and helped us find our way around. I will stay at the Hotel Jazz again.

Very Modern hotel in a enjoyable Location just 10mins walk from the Top of the Ramblas. Roof top pool was excellent with plenty of seating. We enjoyed the fact that there was plenty of restaurants within 5 mins walk of hotel. We would recommend hotel to friends. April 2008

Overall, this was an excellent stay. As noted by others the location of the hotel is a major benefit. The metro stop is essentially outside the door and other sites of interest are very close. Breakfast was not included in my rate but I preferred to venture out for something to eat with numerous possibilities close by. As noted by others noise of the metro can be a problem however I was on the 6th floor with an interior-facing room and heard only a very mild "rumble" which was not at all a problem. The room and hotel in general were clean with a lot of wood (e.g., wood floors, wood floors with carpet down the middle in the halls). This has a pleasing appearance but one should remember that wood does not absorb sound so you may hear a bit more hall noise than you'd like. The staff were pleasant and helpful and overall I thought my stay there was very good. However, my one complaint (as noted in some other reviews) was the lack of air conditioning. This time of year, Barcelona is certainly not hot but with the room window closed and the air conditioning fan on high there was barely detectable air movement let alone cooling. On some evenings I had the large room window (i.e., sliding door) open to cool things off before sleeping. Looking out the window I saw others doing the same thing, however, I'm not sure this is something I'd want to do in the summer. Overall, at a relatively cool time of year I would certainly stay here again.

The hotel is very central. Within walking distance of all the main attactions. The stop for the tour bus is just up the street, which i would highly recommend. We grabbed a taxi from the airport into the hotel, which was 20mins. The hotel is about 5 mins walk from Las Ramblas. The hotel is a boutique hotel, which worked out at about €400.00 for 3 nights. This was about €67 each per night. This did not include breakfast. You could get breakfast in the hotel but it is very pricey at €15.00 per person. It is a fab breakfast (got it the morning we flew home) but it is very expensive. The hotel is very modern, minimalistic interiors. The rooms are small, however very clean and servicable. The staff on reception were very helpful when approached. I would totally recommend staying at this hotel and hopefully will stay there again soon.
