En general bé
Pros:

M'ha agradat que més o menys es molt centric però l'he trobat un poc abusiu de preu. Encara que tenc present que era la Diada de Catalunya i supós que això ha enquerit tot.

Cons:

la recepció que no tingui una persona física en cap moment del dia

Une nuit
Pros:

La carafe d'eau, jus de fruits et chips, un lit très confortable et du mobilier design

Cons:

L'accueil pour la remise des clés pas sur le site de l'hôtel mais une rue un peu plus loin.
Chambre vue sur un mur

Viskas buvo labai gerai
Pros:

Labai smagu, kad atvykus į kambarį randi ir vandens ir sulčių, mini dovanėlių. Kavos ir poilsio erdvė išvis nustebino, nes nesame niekur to matę. Nemokama kava, arbata, sausainiai visą parą. Strategiškai tobuloje vietoje. Viskas pasiekiama pėsčiomis.

Cons:

Galbūt galėjo būti tvarkingiau arba atnaujinta labiau, ypač vonios kambarys. Tačiau tai nesutrukdė turėti gerą poilsį.

Cute room on the worst smelling street in the city.
Pros:

The common area had good coffee. The staff were caring and helpful.

Cons:

The reception desk being in a different location is ridiculous. Just looking at your photo advertising is so deceiving. You have that cute reception desk but don’t use it? Why are you doing that? I’m so curious because it just doesn’t make sense. Definitely is false advertising to have that photo of it and it remains empty of help. If I ever needed something I had to go outside , smell sewer and walk past garbage to ask for help. It was so confusing trying to get into the building. There was a button to call the hotel desk to buzz me in but it was so hard to see it.

Bon emplacement mais je n’y reviendrai pas
Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

Le prix payé par rapport à la chambre :
- fenêtre qui donnait sur une cour face à un mur à 1,30m : sombre +++ > sentiment d’être enfermée
- petite chambre et passage très régulier dans le couloir (emplacement chambre proche entrée) : beaucoup de bruit de passage
