Our perfect place of stay in Barcelona
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in a nice location - stylish, classy yet modern, would definitely come back!

Cons:

We didn’t realized that at the time of our stay half of La Rambla would be closed - which caused some troubles getting to and from the hotel - however it had nothing to do with the hotel, just the general lack of comfort.
Also, the elevators’ area was being fixed during our stay - which was a bit uncomfortable but nevertheless didn’t spoil our overall impression on the hotel!

Pros:

Los cuartos son super cómodos, es tan acogedor el lugar que no provoca salir a hacer turismo, los empleados son muy atentos y amables, esta ubicado muy bien, cerca de la línea l3 del metro a donde puedes moverte a cualquier sitio turístico en menos de 10 minutos. Volvería a ir definitivamente.

Központi elhelyezkedés, tiszta hotel, kedves személyzet
Pros:

Központi elhelyezkedése a hotelnek kiváló.
Kedves, segítőkész személyzet, nagy tisztaság.
Ágy matraca nagyon kényelmes.
Finom reggeli.
Csomag megőrzése biztosított volt, ameddig szerettük volna.

Cons:

A fürdőszobának csak ajtótokja van, tolóajtó nincs. Nem privát!
Beljebb áttetsző hullámos selytelmes valami van a WC és zuhanyzón, de nagyon zavaró, hogy itt nem lehet maga az ember!
Mi 3 ágyas szobában voltunk és ez minden szempontból kellemetlen volt.
Erre kellene megoldást találni egy ilyen szép hotelnek.
