Gute Lage für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Barcelona
Pros:

Für einen Kurztrip nach Barcelona eine gute Unterkunft. Das Personal ist super freundlich. Das kleine Frühstück ist ausreichend.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung des Zimmers ist etwas zu praktisch und zu sparsam möbliert ( nur ein unbequemen Stuhl und eine ganz kleine Ablagefläche.Die Balkone liegen an einer sehr befahrenen lauten Straße.

De ‘basic’ was duidelijk. ‘Chic’ onvindbaar. Vreselijk.
Pros:

Locatie in El Born.

Cons:

Dit is géén hotel. Geeft hostel of studentenhuis vibes. Het is 1 verdieping in een oud en wat vervallen gebouw. Er is geen receptie, geen personeel, geen ontbijt, geen ontbijtruimte. Dat moet allemaal bij een ander hotel van B&C om de hoek. Kamer was niet comfortabel of gezellig. Meubels crappy en goedkoop. Geen sfeer, geen aankleding, nog geen zeteltje of kussen voor de klapstoel. Alles grijs en betegeld. Oogde vervallen. Beschadigingen aan deuren en muren. Slecht plaatsing van badkamerkraan. Afgrijselijk licht in badkamer. Terras was heel vuil. Laag stof op de meubels en er lagen vuile zakdoeken van vorige gasten. Verschrikkelijk verblijf. Deprimerend. Het personeel in het andere hotel was wel aardig.
