Too hot
Pros:

Good location and good breakfast

Cons:

Far too hot, even outside of a heat wave. The portable air con units that were offered and put in the corridors couldn’t keep up resulting in difficult sleep. I also felt for the price, the room quality wasn’t that great.

Pros:

Proper a tot. En pocs minuts caminant arribes a tot arreu

Cons:

L'esmorzar té diferent horari els caps de setmana i entre setmana. No ens ho van comunicar a l'entrada i un dia ens vam quedar sense esmorzar i no van voler animar-nos la menjada ni van fer cap gest d'anar a buscar res a la cuina

Will return - great for a work trip!
Pros:

Property was great, no frills but comfortable and quality fit out. Raj on the front desk greeted me with a big smile and a welcoming energy that she kept up every time we crossed paths!

Access to the gym and pool was a nice touch too!
