The room had a strange layout, but it was a wonderful hotel! ✨
There's a bar on the rooftop with daily events!
Convenience stores and tapas bars were nearby, and the transportation was great, so I was very satisfied!
There's no fridge in the room, so I borrowed a bottle cooler set!

The howto was very good location and very clean. The room bed was comfortable I would say stay this hotel.

The location is amazing, but that's it. There's many problems with this hotel. Very thin walls, and is quite noisy. No notice that the pool was not working. It was crossed out of our card. The pillows and blanket was super thin. Towels are very rough, and don't smell very clean. Shower pressure is poor. Flush is extremely aggressive and splashes back at you. Floor easily gets dirty. Shampoo and body wash are no good.

No fridge. AC is super inconsistent. Very cheap blow dryer. Extremely small closet space. Just big enough to hold 3 things. Smart TV doesn't not connect properly as a smart tv should. WiFi constantly asks you to sign back in.

Service was decent if you needed it. No one really greets you when you come and go at the front desk.

They should transparently list what you can request, and what you can't toxmake things easier.

Transportation is extremely convenient

The front desk service was excellent, and the room was very clean. Still no toothbrush provided, though. Quite a few young people stay at this hotel, and there are lots of activities. The TV is great; you can connect to the internet and browse the web.

My friend and I stayed here to be closer to the city's attractions. The service was great, the hotel's location was excellent, and the rooftop restaurant was fantastic for taking photos. The only minor issue was that the toilet tended to clog easily, but everything else was good.

The location was a bit disappointing. It was slightly inconvenient that the sink area wasn't separated within the bedroom. Other than that, everything else was satisfactory.

Super nice staff and wonderful rooftop. Complimentary cava. A bit too tiny rooms + minimal balcony.
