Ich komme wohl wieder.
Pros:

Die Lage war hervorragend.

Cons:

Das Frühstück hätte etwas mehr Auswahl bieten können.
Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche/Badewanne ist sehr gering und es dauert ewig bis warmes Wasser kommt und ich hatte das Zimmer im 5. Stock, wäre interessant wie das im 9. Stock ist.

A good room for a stay in Barcelona.
Pros:

Staff were brilliant and hotel was clean and mostly well-presented.

Cons:

Our room had an internal window which was frosted so we didn’t have any natural light in the room.
The gym and pool area were not as nice or spacious as what is shown in the pictures.

Det var inte värt pengarna på grund av insekter i rummet.
Pros:

det var inte värt pengarna för att vi hittade insekter i rummet två gånger vilket var så dåligt en kackerlacka som ringde till personalen för att tar bort det och flög i rummet. Det var så äckligt. och Andra dagen en liten insekt i sägen så det var inte bekväm att sova i sägen. Annars det var bra med personal och faciclities. Att betala så mycket sedan få insekter var det inte värt.

Cons:

Insekter i rummet var förskräckligt.
