Just returned from a 40th birthday break with friends. Excellent hotel, superb location, modern hotel with excellent facilities such as roof top pool which we used every day. Great choice of hot and cold buffet at breakfast. Located 5 min walk to top of la ramblas. Had two great meal in Hard Rock Cafe closeby. Recommend the open top bus which you can catch just outside hotel. A very enjoyable break. Barcelona a big thumbs up as well as the hotel.

Just back from 4 nights at The Jazz, Barcelona. Really good location, ideal for everything you want to do day or night. The hotel staff are very welcoming and helpful although a better lounge area would be nice as not everyone wants to be out all night. The rooms are slightly small yet nicely furnished with everything one needs, all except tea and coffee making facilities, which I find a bit mean, as this is not a cheap hotel. The other and most important thing that the hotel should take on board is why do they provide such awful cheap toilet paper. This may sound funny but it reallys pulls the place down, the last time I saw toilet paper like that was forty years ago at school!!! These things do leave a lasting impression!!! otherwise well worth the stay.

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Hotel Jazz in Barcelona and had a very enjoyable stay. The location is perfect for Las Ramblas (less than 5 minute walk) and is also surrounded by many High Street shops, bars and restaurants. The room was extremely comfortable and well decorated. The bathroom was spacious and clean. The reception staff were very friendly with excellent English and were willing to accomodate us very well. Will definitely make this my first choice hotel again if i return to Barcelona.

We stayed here on our honeymoon for 5 nights and loved every minute. The hotel was very modern and clean. The rooms were spacious, the bed was extremely comfy and the bathroom was very 'jazzy'!  The bar was nice and staff spoke fluent english and were very helpful. The roof-top pool was an extra luxury. Great location for Las Ramblas and metro. The only way our stay could have been improved would have been to have more leaflets and maps on the area, either at the hotel entrance or in our room. This criticism is only minor as this hotel definitely deserves 5 out of 5!

Contemporary designed room/bathroom, clean, great staff, plentiful complimentary toiletries etc.  No problems with noise (go for a higher up room) and it's 5 mins from the top of Las Ramblas and the big square where all the tourist buses go from.

What a fab place!

Excellant hotel, spotlessly clean,, room was very modern with everything you needed provided with the largest free selection of bathroom freebies I have come across. The mini bar was well stocked and the prices seemed very reasonable. Although our room was on a busy street we did not hear any traffic noise, The staff were friendly and helpful. The Hotel is about 5 mins walk to Las Ramblas, and there is a nice tapas bar across the road if you want a quiet drink in the evening.  The roof terrace is a great place to relax in the sunshine after a day walking round the shops and they are happy for you to take your drinks from the bar up round the pool. The buffet breakfast was plentiful with hot and cold option with a choice of omelette, poached or scrambled eggs cooked to order. There is also a left luggage facility which if like us you had a late flight out was very useful. Can't fault the hotel and would certainly return there if travelling to Barcelona. The metro does run under the hotel but certainly did not bother us and I am a very light sleeper and I had no trouble with this at all infact this was also one of the quiestest rooms I have stayed in for noise from surrounding rooms etc.

Great location, 5 mins walk from Placa Catalunya.  Hotel very stylish and comfortable.  Reception very helpful and offered to swap our room from the 6th to the 2nd floor when they saw my wife heading for the stairs!  Maid's managed to pinch 2 towels we brought with us (thought it was supposed to be the other way round :o))But they looked similar to the hotels towels so we let them off.  Went room only, but restaurant food looked great, very large breakfast choice, will consider going b&b next time.  Very quiet at night, only the odd rumble frm the metro.
Free internet access in bar area as well.
Negative points
Non smoking hotel (as most are now)
No tea/coffee facilities in room
Tip: Need bottled water/drinks? Turn left as you walk out hotel, straight across main road and down Small street called Granvia.  Supermarket located 30 metres down there. Saves paying the minibar.
Enjoy!

We spent one night prior to a cruise. We thought this an excellent hotel w.r.t. location, service, price, and room appearance. The room was very modern and a pleasure to stay in. Can't think of a single thing bad to say. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for one night as a holiday within a holiday from our base on the Costa Brava.

The rooms are nice and modern and the comfy beds a plus! Other than the slight rumble of the trains it was completely peaceful and I didn't wake up until 9am.

The main reason we booked this hotel though didn't let us down - the rooftop pool. Having been to Barcelona before and seen most of the sites, we weren't in a great rush to get out and about so went straight up to do a spot of sunbathing. Having only one other couple around rather than the groups of teenagers and British all-day-drinkers that surrounded our pool in the Costa Brava was fantastic!

It got busier later on, but there are only 10 beds so it'll never get overly busy. Comfy sunbeds and free towels great too.

Fab location - 5 mins to Placa Catalunya metro, or just use the University stop right next door and change lines. We also found it great at night as the (once seedy, still a little interesting) Raval district is right across the road, and we found some lovely restaurants just round the corner from the Museum of Modern Art, and some good local bars.

Modern, stylish and friendly. Had read a review complaining of noise or rumble from the metro' underground. We were on the 7th floor so may have been protected from this. I listened out for it in the early hours and could make something out...but certainly not intrusive in any way. I hadn't told my girlfriend about this before-hand and when I later asked her if she had heard anything she had no idea of it.

Room was large, immaculate and had small balcony overlooking the noisy busy road below (more of a Juliet balcony so no sitting out on it). Noise was never a problem from the road because of the excellent double glazing. Some noise in the morning from the maids (although this was later than 9am).

Free internet (proper internet connection not the snail stuff) on two units near bar area. Didn't have to wait.

Bar very smart and modern, in keeping with the rest of the hotel, although drinks were very expensive.

Generally friendly staff (including discussion with guys on the desk about Barca' and Real Madrid on arrival). We had just come from Paris where the staff were formal and a little stuffy so the staff here made the difference.

Rooftop pool small but didn't suffer because of it. Seperate pool towels provided and plenty of (comfortable) sun loungers.

Location right in the centre with Universitat and Placa Cataluna metro stations very close.

We stayed first week september for two nights. Paid approx £100(sterling)per night.(girlfriend loved the plentiful freebies!)

I couldn't really afford this for a longer stay, nor can I compare with other hotels in the area. However, compared with other european hotels this was refreshingly worth the money.

Visited Jazz, Barcelona late July with my thirteen year old son. A five minute walk from Placa Catalunya the Jazz is a stylish, modern hotel. The all glass front with automatic doors sets the tone for the whole hotel which is cool, due to the airconditioning throughout and the contemporary styling. Staff are unintrusively helpful and check in was swift, we arrived a 12.30pm, had immediate access to our room. Rooms are was immaculately clean and continue the slick decor and quality products. The roof has a small pool which although small is more than adequate for a cooling dip. The area is substantial containing sunbeds, chairs, tables and parasols. There are also two toilet/shower rooms. Towels are provided at the side of the pool and replenished regularly. The hotel has no restaurant but with the Ramblas five minutes away and its myriad of restaurants this is not a problem. Buffet breakfast is varied and substantial, the breakfast room is light and airy situated on the same floor as the bar. If you want a contemporary oasis in the heart of busy Bracelona, head for the Jazz.
