Clean, comfortable and quirky
Pros:

It’s excellent location for onward travel to the Costa Brava and for visiting major attractions on foot. The hotel layout was funky and the staff extremely courteous and helpful.

Cons:

A fridge in the room would have been a nice extra but did not effect our enjoyment

Barcelona zit in ons hart
Pros:

De ligging was fantastisch. De receptie en ander personeel waren heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Omdat ik vorig jaar met mijn werk hier ook vertoefde, kregen we bij aankomst een fijne attentie.
Ook was het leuk om de proeverij te volgen van de Sangria die we van Carlos gekregen hadden.
De rooftop waar we het ontbijt namen was super met een magnifieke zicht.
De bedden waren super goed.

Cons:

1 minpuntje misschien de kamer zal er vlug uitgeleefd uit zien en de douche was moeilijk te regelen.

Empfehlenswertes Hotel zentral gelegen
Pros:

Clara, am Empfang, war außerordentlich hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Sie hatte einige gute Restaurant Tips für uns. Und jeden Abend wenn wir zurückkamen gab es ein nettes Gespräch mit ihr. Auf ihre Veranlassung bekamen wir am 2. Abend 1 Flasche Sekt auf Zimmer. Darüber haben wir uns sehr gefreut.

Cons:

Die Tiefgaragen Einfahrt war schlecht zu sehen. Eine auffälligere Kennzeichnung wäre vorteilhaft. Eine Anfahrtsbeschreibung zum Hotel wäre ebenfalls wünschenswert. Viele Einbahnstraßen und Fußgängerzonen!

Buena opción
Pros:

Muy buena ubicación, limpio y excellente desayuno. El rooftop es muy bonito y a las habitaciones no les falta ni un detalle.

Cons:

Realmente no le pongo un 10/10 por el tema del depósito que te piden en el check in. Además se equivocaron y me cobraron un depósito equivalente a dos noches y solo me alojaba una. Aunque se devuelve el depósito al check Out, según el banco, tardas varios días en recuperar el dinero. Viajo muchísimo por trabajo y no me habían pedido nunca pagar un depósito (aparte de la habitación ya pagada), un poco anticuado para un hotel de este nivel.

Pros:

Konumu çok iyi, çalışanlar ilgili ve güler yüzlü. Terası güzeldi. Yatağı daha konforlu olabilirdi. Ama genel olarak beğendim. Özellikle konumu nedeni ile tavsiye ederim.

Cons:

Yatak köşe koltuk şeklinde idi. Normal çift kişilik yatak olsa daha iyi olurdu.
