Reviews
The front desk service was also completely unsatisfactory. I had already paid and entered all my personal information when I booked online, yet check-in took longer than immigration at the airport!
The staff's expressions were cold, and I found their tone quite rude (this part was recorded using AI translation).
I've visited several European countries in recent years, and this hotel in Barcelona left a particularly bad impression. (Perhaps it was partly due to my poor foreign language skills, making it difficult to navigate their complicated procedures.)
The hotel’s building is old and the room facilities its not good enough. My room was so noisy as it was in the first floor and near the street.
Overall, it's a well-located located if you don't wanna to use public transportation.
