Gute Lage mit Rooftop Bar
Pros:

Lage, Rooftopbar, für einen Aufenthalt in Barcelona okay...

Cons:

Personal reserviert zum Teil latent unfreundlich. Wir haben 3 Tage hier übernachtet. Personal morgens beim Frühstück, sehr gestresst und zeigten es auch den Gästen und untereinander, sehr unprofessionell.

Bonita vista de la azotea, pero....
Pros:

La limpieza de las habitaciones, la cama grande y los desayunos son buenos y la vista 360 de la azotea.

Cons:

En la habitación se filtraba demasiado ruido nocturno. Hubo varios escándalos de peleas callejeras. El sector el Raval está en franco deterioro. Los apartamentos y calles de los edificios vecinos tienen mal aspecto.. Las calles cercanas dan la sensación de inseguridad debido a la presencia de personas ambulantes que pareciera que estuvieran asechando a los turistas. No es un barrio donde puedas salir de noche sintiéndote seguro.
