Zeker een bezoek waard, het laat mooie herinneringen achter!
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Het hotel ligt in het hart van het centrum en alles is gemakkelijk bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer.

Het hotel heeft een uniek design, van de kamers tot de gangen en de toiletten.

Ik kon niet anders dan de details bewonderen…

Ik heb een fantastisch verblijf gehad met mijn zoon en heb de sfeer van Barcelona echt geproefd.

Cons:

Het is jammer dat het terras tijdens ons verblijf gesloten was.
