Nada! Todo estaba excelente. Mención a la camarera de piso, que fue muy amable y atenta en todo momento! En recepción, a Viviane, al valet y las chicas de cocina. Excelente atención… quedamos encantados

Great location with convenient public transportation, confusing building access, an outdated elevato
Pros:

Location is great and very convenient for public transportation. However, there is construction all along La Rambla, which makes the area less pleasant at the moment.

The room was okay, but access to the room is a bit confusing due to multiple hostels/hotels operating within the same building. The elevator is quite outdated and was not working one evening during my stay.

Breakfast was okay—nothing exceptional, but adequate.

Overall, the location is the main advantage, especially if you want easy access to public transportation and the central areas of Barcelona.

Cons:

The room was okay, but access to the room is a bit confusing due to multiple hostels/hotels operating within the same building. The elevator is quite outdated and was not working one evening during my stay.

Cons:

The hotel is highly overpriced for the services and facilities provided. The room lacked basic amenities such as a dental kit, slippers, a tea/coffee kettle, and other essentials that one would normally expect at this price point.

Additionally, there was excessive noise due to construction work happening down the street, which made the stay quite unpleasant and disturbed the overall experience.

Considering the price, the facilities, and the noise, the hotel is definitely not worth the money. Overall, it was a complete waste of money and I would not recommend staying here.

C’était pas ce qui était promis aux photos
Pros:

Le travailleurs son aimables

Cons:

L’établissement c’est complètement différent aux photos. Il semblerait un hôtel presque luxe mais c’était tout le contraire. On semblerait sentait être enfermé dans un appartement d’une vieille femme. C’était pas assez propre. La nourriture était en mauvais état. Il avait des pommes avec moho et un ananas si mur qu’avoir pris un goût à alcohol. Tout avoir un aspect différent de celui des photos. Et pour le prix je trouve que tu peux réussir à trouver quelque chose mieux que ça.

Ideaal voor een verblijf tijdens een stedentrip.
Pros:

De locatie is echt perfect. Van hieruit ben je overal snel.

Cons:

Het is een oud, kruip-door-sluip-door hotel met veel trappen en 1 lift die ook door schoonmaakpersoneel wordt gebruikt. Verder moet je even wegwijs worden in een systeem van intercom beveiliging per verdieping.

Bad experience, I had to cut my stay short and switch hotels.
Pros:

Fantastic location. Bathroom was modern and clean. 24/7 buffet with free beer and froyo. The hotel has a kind of quirky charm.

Cons:

Rooms are a bit dated. Buffet food and breakfast is pretty poor. The air conditioner temperature control was broken and made the room too cold.

Coming and going from the room is painful and makes you think twice about going for a quick outing. When you leave your room, the first thing you notice is awful stench. You have to hold your nose while you run to the hallway exit, but the door is locked so you're trapped in the stink. There's a phone on the wall that you have to pick up and then wait for someone in reception to buzz you through the door. Then you're standing at the lift waiting for what seems like forever to take you down to reception where you have to hand in the key before you leave the hotel. They key has a 30cm long key fob attached, so you can't really take it with you. Then you have to go back to the lift and wait again for it take you down to the ground floor so you can finally be out of the horrible hotel.

After 2 nights, I decided that was enough and told them I want to leave. They didn't even ask me what was wrong, just suggested switching rooms. I declined since most of the problems are not specific to the room. They forced me to stay one more night in the hotel before refunding me for the remainder of my stay.
