An excellent location for exploring the old town.
Pros:

You are entering a building from 1859 that was radically renovated in 1900 by the great Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The entrance and lobby are a tribute to Catalan Modernism.

Cons:

There were no personal care kits (such as a shower cap, tissues, cotton swabs, etc.) and no shoe brush. There was also insufficient space for clothes.
