Hotel má výhodnou polohu. Hezký design pokojů, ale ty bez oken jsou opravdu depresivní. Personál milý a vstřícný, kromě
Pros:

Design pokoje, design loby a místo hotelu.

Cons:

Pokoj neměl žádné okno. Respektive jedno malé okno do špinavého a nevzhledného světlíku. Ve stropě pak bylo několik otvorů, kterými šlo do pokoje světlo, ale nic kromě oblohy nebylo vidět. Trošku depresivní. Snídaně , nic moc takové spíše provizorní. Když jsem požádal o kávu z kávovaru bylo mi řečeno, že lepší káva je z automatu.

Great hotel in a great location!
Pros:

Really great location, easy walking distance to lots of sights and places to eat. The property had great amenities, even though it took me a day to find them!

Cons:

There was a musty smell (mildew) likely due to the shower? And I found mosquitoes in my room even though I didn’t have the window open.

Superbe hôtel! Nous reviendrons.
Pros:

L'hôtel est parfaitement situé dans le quartier El Born. Sa déco originale lui donne beaucoup de personnalité. Les chambres sont belles et spacieuses. Il n'y a pas trop de chambre et l'hôtel est calme. L'espace lounge où l'on peut se poser pour boire un thé ou un café gratuitement et à toute heure est très agréable.

Cons:

Habituée à un matelas de qualité, je trouvais le lit un peu dur. Ce qui ne m'a pas empêché de dormir.
Les toilettes dans notre chambre étaient un peu étriquées.

Stylisches Hotel, tolle Lage, sehr gute Unterkunft in Barcelona
Pros:

Die Lage ist super, die Zimmer sind cool gestaltet. Schön ist, wenn man einen Balkon hat und die Stadt beobachten kann. Frühstück ist auch gut und gemütlich.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung der Zimmer könnte etwas hochwertiger sein. Zudem war es jetzt bei meinem zweiten Besuch doch sehr laut und hellhörig im Hotel. Aber es ist trotzdem zu empfehlen!

Comfortable stay in a great location
Pros:

Excellent location. Friendly, helpful staff. A light room with a very comfortable bed and pillows , tasty breakfast with lots of choice. I like the quirky decor.

Cons:

The corridors are dark. Returning in the evening I had to use my phone torch. I didn’t like the beaded curtain in front of the lift; on a couple of occasions it was a mutual shock to see someone just the other side waiting for the lift as couldn’t see each other.

Excelente hotel en una ubicación privilegiada de Barcelona
Pros:

Ubicación privilegiada a pocos metros de la estación de Francia, de la Barceloneta y el barrio del Born. Áreas comunes muy cómodas, estéticamente agradables, con bebidas calientes a libre disposición de los huéspedes. Gimnasio pequeño pero bien equipado para no perder la costumbre de entrenar incluso en vacaciones. Habitaciones bien equipadas, con regalos de cortesía, limpias y cómodas.

Cons:

Layout del hotel un poco confuso. Las decoraciones de hilos gruesos de plástico cubriendo las puertas se vuelven molestas al cabo de un tiempo.

Empfehlenswertes Boutique Hotel mit unkonventionellem Konzept
Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, Interessantes Zimmerkonzept, exzellentes Frühstück, sehr freundliches Personal.
Für uns ist das Hotel ein guter Tipp für einen Aufenthalt in Barcelona (aus Sicht unseres Aufenthaltes während der Nebensaison). Wir werden gerne wieder kommen.
