Pros:

Da cordialidade dos funcionários , a localização perto , 10 min a pé, da plaza DEspanya (metro e trem regional) e da Estação Sants (trem alta velocidade). Da cortesia de agua e uma pequena garrafa de vinho, e amenidades nos banheiros como escova de dentes.

Cons:

O café da manhã poderia ser mais sortido. O preco acima da media para um hotel 3 estrelas,, nao sei se foi devido a época so ano - outubro. É um bom hotel.

A recommander
Pros:

Emplacement près des arènes et proche du métro. Rue calme malgré les travaux.
Chambre jolie et lumineuse, savon gel douche Brosse à dents et dentifrice offerts, ainsi qu'une petite attention emmenée en souvenir.. mini frigo en chambre
Terrasse et salle de petit déj canons, petit déjeuner parfait. Thé et café à disposition gratuitement toute la journée
Le solarium est un vrai bonus
Personnel sympathique

Cons:

Le manque d insonorisation entre les chambres et aussi vers le couloir. On entend tout ce qui se passe.. les portes qui claquent. Les conversations.
Mais l hotel fourni des boules quies. Avec la fatigue des journées touristiques, ca ne m a pas empêchée de dormir

Pros:

Close to train station, 20-30 min walk to central streets. No noise at night. Nothing more.

Cons:

The rating doesn’t represent the reality. Super old and outdated. The door, furniture - all needs to be repaired and all was initially super cheap (probably that’s why it became so bad looking). The smell in the room was bad.

Pros:

La situación

Cons:

El precio de 360€ noche y solo había 3 cepillos de dientes Ni siquiera había acondicionador en la ducha. Había una botella rellenable de agua pero no la rellenaron. Tres almohadas diferentes a cual más dura. La habitación era triple y lo único que hicieron fue poner cama a los pies y casi no se podía pasar. El desayuno muy muy mejorable. Los huevos totalmente pasados. El embutido pésimo y la bollería industrial. Poca variedad. Pues el precio del hierro más la verdad
