Charmigt hotell mitt i stan, men utan ordentliga dörrar till toaletten…
Pros:

Ett charmigt centralt beläget hotell med hög standard och servicegrad. Trevlig personal, fantastisk frukost och väldigt mysigt inrett.

Cons:

Lyhört och med frostade dörrar till dusch och toalett…

teleurstellend door het niet gebruik kunnen maken van het zwembad
Pros:

service van personeel

Cons:

Bij het boeken van dit hotel stond aangegeven dat het zwembad op het dak vanaf 30-04 geopend was .dat was een van de argumenten om dit Hotel te boeken.De renovatie van het zwembad was tijdens ons verblijf niet gereed...dus het zwembad was gesloten !!!

Pros:

Exceptional location, wonderful staff and delicious breakfast. Highly recommend!

Cons:

Only one small thing: how "public" the bathroom area is in relation to the bedroom. No door and frosted glass for the toilet and shower. My teenage sons were horrified :)

Menschenmassen in der Gegend, kaum Taxis und zu viele Baustellen machten manche Besuchtigungen unmöglich
Pros:

Wunderschönes Haus mit stilvollen Räumen, bequeme und gute Betten, schöne Dusche

Cons:

* Zimmer zu eng, nur ein winziger Sessel, zu schmaler Waschtisch, kaum Ablage, lächerliche Tür dicht am WC, nur bei geöffneter Tür ausziehen und anziehen der Unterhose normal möglich, keine Tür zum Badezimmer bei dieser unmöglichen WC– Kabine
* Hotel hätte auf die schwierige Anfahrt für Taxi und das Baustellenchaos an den Ramblas unbedingt hinweisen müssen. Taxifahrer mussten immer im Hotel mit 15 Minuten Wartezeit und vielen Umwegen wegen der langen Baustelle und gesperrten Straßen verteuerte Fahrten. Un der Gegend deshalb kaum freie Taxis zu finden !!!
