3 giorni a Barcellona
Pros:

Posizione ottima, metropolitana esattamente sotto l’hotel, stanza pulita e funzionale. Ottima soluzione per il weekend lungo con moglie e figlia(3 anni).

Cons:

Insonorizzazione finestre non sufficiente. Sembra di essere molto vicini alla strada anche nei piani alti.

Concert overnight stay
Pros:

We received a free upgrade to our room and ended up with a huge room! Massive bed and bathroom. Very comfortable indeed

Cons:

Although there was a window you had nothing to look at! The window opened to an inside wall which looked like a vertical tunnel. This carried noise from the other floors

Pros:

Die Dachterrasse war der Hammer, sehr freundliches Personal 👍, die Lage total super, aber etwas laut, da auf der Hauptstraße. Das Hotel war sehr sauber, die Zimmer top!! Beim Frühstücksbuffet gab es sehr viel Auswahl

Cons:

Da das Hotel an einer stark befahrenen Hauptstraße war, war es nachts leider ein wenig laut. Nichts desto trotz ist die Lage absolut super!!!
