Passend für einen ca. 3 tägigen Städtetrip, buchen Sie aber besser ohne Frühstück
Pros:

Die Lage direkt neben der Metrostation Paral Lel war super. Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber, wenn auch etwas dunkel. Das Frühstück war eher enttäuschend und das Personal machte oft einen demotivierten Eindruck.

Idéal avant une croisière
Pros:

L'hôtel est au pied de la station de métro Para Lel parfait quand on vient de l'aéroport ( les stations de métro sont équipés d'ascenseur bien pratique avec les valises, climatisés et propre surtout ). La chambre était très bien, spacieuse, propre et bien agencé. La salle de bain très bien aussi et le lit confortable. La chambre et l'hôtel est climatisé ce qui est un gros plus surtout quand il fait très chaud. Le petit déjeuner bien achalandé et gourmand nous avons bien apprécié. L'hôtel est situé à 15 min à pied du World Trade Center parfait pour prendre le bus de là bas pour se rendre au terminal de croisière. Une chose est sure si un jour nous devons embarquer de nouveau de Barcelone pour une croisière nous réserverons à nouveau cet hôtel qui répond à toutes nos attentes

Cons:

Nous sommes habitué au silence de la campagne, le seul truc dérangeant que je peux citer est le bruit de la ville la nuit car on entend un peu de la chambre car Barcelone est une ville vivante et nous ne sommes pas habitué mais sinon RAS

A great hotel in a great location.
Pros:

The location was close to Port Vell and there was a Metro station outside. The hotel had a pool and bar and lovely bars, cafes and restaurants nearby. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a safe, fridge, iron and ironing board and hairdryer. There were facilities to leave luggage.

Cons:

Pros:

Os funcionários são super simpáticos, principalmente a Sara na recepção. O quarto era grande e muito confortável, o terraço do último piso é perfeito para ver a cidade e relaxar. O pequeno almoço tinha bastante variedade e qualidade e a localização acaba por ser próxima do centro.

Cons:

O que se tornou desagradável foi o ruído dos prédios do lado durante a madrugada.

Bon rapport qualité/prix
Pros:

Très bien situé, au pied de l'arrêt de métro, du funiculaire et d'un arrêt de bus. À 10 minutes à pied du Carrer de Blai, une rue avec pas mal de bars et restaurants à tapas. L'hôtel est calme côté cour, la clim ne fait aucun bruit, avec vue sur la Sagrada Familia ; côté rue, je pense que c'est plus bruyant. Si je devais trouver un point négatif, je dirais que la pression de l'eau n'est pas terrible. »

Cons:

La pression d'eau n'est pas extraordinaire, vraiment à la limite de ne pas pouvoir doucher correctement.
