Estancia justa con personal de recepción decepcionante
Pros:

El hotel está a un paseo (con unas pocas cuestas) del pueblo, pero bien comunicado y cerca de la estación de tren. La cama era cómoda y la habitación estaba muy limpia.

Cons:

Las habitaciones necesitan un lavado de cara: Paredes con marcas del agua que cae del aire acondicionado, mobiliario y baños antiguos, aunque funcionales. La persona que nos atendió en recepción nos despachó de manera rápida y sin ningún atisbo de querer ayudar. Varias veces, por distintas causas, la misma persona, con mismo resultado: incomodidad y resignación.

Mencionar que se hacen actividades como bodas y comuniones en el hotel, cosa que me parece fantástica, pero deberían tener en cuenta la asignación de habitaciones para el resto de huéspedes, sobre todo cuando se comenta en recepción.

Fair value to cost ratio. If you seek for a cheap hotel it’s a good choice.
Pros:

The location in between airport and city is practical. Metro is near, bus stop from airport too.

Cons:

It’s old and not maintained at the appropriate level.

It was good for a long layover but definitely overpriced for what you get.
Pros:

Close to airport (used uber to get there), pretty location. They have a restaurant on site, we had a nice dinner.

Cons:

Overpriced. The rooms are very dated

Barcelona stay
Pros:

The hotel is situated in a quiet and nice area, but walking up to the hotel is quite an effort since it's on a steep uphill location. The room is spacious enough with a partial view of the city. It's just disappointing to say that there's no kettle provided for tea/coffee. The rooms need some updating. There's no shower gel or shampoo provided, but just one small soap. Overall, it's not too bad, but you can get better accommodation for the price I was charged.

Cons:

Hotel needs a revamp urgently!
Cons:

Walls were dirty and needs a coat of paint, Vanity top had a big hole in it, toilet seat was totally loose.

External patio - the dividers between the room's gardens were created by shade netting on fencing, which looks very tatty and untidy
