Great hotel in a great location!
Pros:

Really great location, easy walking distance to lots of sights and places to eat. The property had great amenities, even though it took me a day to find them!

Cons:

There was a musty smell (mildew) likely due to the shower? And I found mosquitoes in my room even though I didn’t have the window open.

Hotel má výhodnou polohu. Hezký design pokojů, ale ty bez oken jsou opravdu depresivní. Personál milý a vstřícný, kromě
Pros:

Design pokoje, design loby a místo hotelu.

Cons:

Pokoj neměl žádné okno. Respektive jedno malé okno do špinavého a nevzhledného světlíku. Ve stropě pak bylo několik otvorů, kterými šlo do pokoje světlo, ale nic kromě oblohy nebylo vidět. Trošku depresivní. Snídaně , nic moc takové spíše provizorní. Když jsem požádal o kávu z kávovaru bylo mi řečeno, že lepší káva je z automatu.

Superbe hôtel! Nous reviendrons.
Pros:

L'hôtel est parfaitement situé dans le quartier El Born. Sa déco originale lui donne beaucoup de personnalité. Les chambres sont belles et spacieuses. Il n'y a pas trop de chambre et l'hôtel est calme. L'espace lounge où l'on peut se poser pour boire un thé ou un café gratuitement et à toute heure est très agréable.

Cons:

Habituée à un matelas de qualité, je trouvais le lit un peu dur. Ce qui ne m'a pas empêché de dormir.
Les toilettes dans notre chambre étaient un peu étriquées.
