Reviews
Tourist attractions are all super close (la Rambla, Gothic Quarter, Sagrada Família). The taxi driver told me it's a great are an he was right.
Staff was super nice and very helpful whenever I asked anything. The rooms are on the smaller side, but clean and no complaints. The hotel building inside is nice and has some history, especially the breakfast floor. I would recommend this hotel.
Nothing wrong with the hotel or staff
Location fabulous
But for us - pillows hurt my ears - man made fibre type .
Bed was hard
Didnt sleep through 2 nights in a row .
Everything was spotless clean
And shower hot water fantastic
But hard to leave a recommendation when you haven’t slept for for 2 days .
It’s the one thing that makes all the difference.
Additionally, I had booked a twin room, but I was informed that children were not permitted in that room type. I admit it was written in the booking, but it wasn't obvious. The hotel charged us an additional €49 per night to upgrade to a triple room. However, on the first night, we still had to sleep in the original twin room, even though we had already paid for the triple. We only moved to the triple room on the second and third nights. The invoice was only sent on the second day, which made it confusing – I initially thought I wouldn’t be charged the first night. Ultimately, I contacted Trip.com's customer service, and they were helpful, offering partial compensation. I appreciate their support, but I believe future guests should be aware of these issues.
- Very nice and helpful staff.
- Almost not-working interner connection.
- Old rooms with uncomfortable beds (not 4 star worthy)
