Nicht den Erwartungen entsprechend.
Pros:

Gute Lage zwischen Altstadt und Strand, schöne Lobby im vintage Stil.

Cons:

Sauberkeit könnte optimiert werden (z.B. Schlieren auf dem Spiegel, schmutzige Tapete, viel Staub).
Keine Toilettenbürste auf dem Zimmer, dies sei dort die Aufgabe der Putzkräfte. Allerdings kommen diese ja nur einmal pro Tag zur Reinigung des Zimmers. Frühstücksbuffet im fensterlosen Kellerraum, gleiche Auswahl jeden Tag. Aktuell große Baustelle direkt vor dem Hotel.

Excellent breakfast in a historic building ideally located for walking in Gothic Quarter of Barcelon
Pros:

Breakfast was fantastic and so was the location.

Cons:

For two people with large suitcases, the room was small with only one luggage rack. I also thought the price was high for such a small room.

Barcelona, bella ciudad
Pros:

El hotel está en el Barrio Gotico, podías salir mañana, tarde o noche cada salida con diferente personalidad, la estación del metro Jaume I_linea 4 amarilla_ está muy cerca, en el malecón está el paradero del Barcelona Bus Turistic, a la derecha salen los ferrys, con lo que tenemos acceso a casi toda la cuidad.
Mi habitación da para la espalda, hagan un convenio con los dueños de las casas colindantes, para limpiarlas, la vista mejoraría mucho.
El desayuno es excepcional, muy surtido, es casi un brunch, lo que hace que uno almuerce tarde, ganando tiempo para seguir conociendo.

Cons:

El Barza campeonó y, para celebrar bloquearon muchaa calles, quedé aislado, afortunadamente tienen un buen sístema de metro.
Cuando estaba camino a Barcelona Sants, los maestro tomaron las calles, casi pierdo el AVE.
