Fausse bonne idée
Pros:

L'hôtel est très bien placé, très joli, la chambre est joliment décorée et propre. Dommage que la seule fenêtre donne sur une sorte de puits de lumière. Le lit est très confortable et le petit déjeuner est varié.

Cons:

Le BRUIT: l'hôtel n'est pas du tout insonorisé.
On entend les gens dans le couloir comme s'ils étaient dans notre chambre ou le voisin qui prend sa douche.
La première nuit, j'ai eu du mal à m'endormir car la chambre est derrière les ascenseurs, donc ça monte et ça descend toutes les 2 secondes. Sans compter le manque de savoir-vivre de certains voisins qui rentrent à 3h15 du matin en hurlant dans le couloir, ou encore la 2ème nuit, ma voisine de chambre qui hurle à 22h30 sur son enfant qui pleure.

Pros:

Kleines, aber schön eingerichtetes Zimmer. Das Bad hatte sogar ein BD. Gutes Frühstücksbuffet mit großer Auswahl auch für Vegetarier. Der Früstücksraum besitzt eine Terrasse, leider war es bei unserem Aufenthalt zu kalt zum draußen sitzen, aber im Sommer bestimmt sehr schön. Wer nicht nur die Sagrada Familia, sondern auch Mont Juic besichtigen möchte findet hier von der Lage einen guten Kompromiss.

Cons:

Etwas hellhörig
