Pros:

Barcelona was a little more expensive that expected. The street this is on gets noisy at night and they have earplugs available. Convenient to walk around el born and old part of the city.

However… we stayed at the beginning and end of the trip. The first room was fine, was the Double plus balcony. Second time same format of a room and the shower was in the middle of the room with no opaque glass or full curtain. The toilet was it a closet. Very odd. Also the design is quirky — neon lights in the room and ropes that you have to push through to enter the room.

Pros:

The location, breakfast buffet and surrounding restaurants were good. It’s a unique hotel with a different vibe. Overall we enjoyed our stay. The only con was the A/C in our room didn’t work well and couldn’t be adjusted, so we didn’t get much relief from the heat.

Ok stay
Pros:

The A/C didn’t work in the first room we were in and the shower didn’t drain. After we informed the reception of the issue, they moved us to another room.

Good place to stay for a night
Pros:

The hotel has some weird decor like beads hanging outside the rooms and elevator. Besides that the room is spacious and comfortable. It was quiet during the night and in a good neighborhood.
