Reviews
However, one of the most important aspects of a hotel stay completely missed the mark: the beds.
We booked a room with two twin beds, but the beds were very small, wobbly, and uncomfortably hard. We were also given two identical pillows, both very thin, offering little to no support. The bedding itself was also disappointing and not what you would expect from a hotel positioning itself as upscale.
I have stayed in many different types of hotels, ranging from Four Seasons to hostels, and this was honestly one of the worst sleep experiences I’ve had. We came to Barcelona specifically to get some rest, but instead had very poor nights of sleep. I even developed back pain, something I have never experienced before.
It’s such a shame, because apart from the beds, everything else was outstanding. Unfortunately, for €300 per night, good sleep is non-negotiable, and for that reason alone, this stay was not worth the price.
This hotel was gorgeous with an amazing central location right on the waterfront in Barcelona. Big, quiet room, with beautiful large bathroom. The staff was great and the breakfast A+. Will definitely recommend and hope to return.
