I do not know why this Hotel has so good ratings. We booked because of that and were really disappointed. The hotel does not have the quality of a 4 stars and it is expensive. The hotel need urgently a complete renovation. The room was smelly, bed was not comfortable, the furniture was quite old, there was not a trash bin in the bathroom and an old fashioned TV. Even 2 stars hotel have nowadays flat-screens. The pool was not clean, plenty of moss was growing at the pool floor. The hotel make publicity with free Internet but in reality the free Internet is so slow that you had to wait one hour to be able to read your emails. Of course you have a pay Internet which is faster, which I do not mind if they are honest with you about this at the first place. The service at the cafeteria was really slow and bad. Although the hotel is located outside from Barcelona town, the parking fee at the hotel was really expensive. The location is bad if you are not visiting the university or the children hospital nearby, otherwise you have to walk quite a lot to reach the next metro station. Summarizing, I will not recommend this hotel at all.
