Comfortable and Chic

I stayed in a Superior Double Room with a Balcony that was not only comfortable but also stylishly decorated. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and I loved having a small balcony to enjoy the fresh air. The room provided ample space for my luggage, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this room to others!

6.6/10

I found the hotel to be quite convenient, located just steps from public transport and very close to key attractions like Las Ramblas. The room I had was spacious and offered a nice balcony, which I loved. However, the shower could have been better designed since it leaked water everywhere, and the noise from the busy streets at night was less than ideal for sleeping. Overall, it was good value for a city center hotel but with some drawbacks.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from La Rambla and other attractions. The room was comfortable, though I had a bit of trouble with noise from the elevator at times. The staff was polite and helpful, but I was let down by the limited breakfast options available each morning. Overall, it offers good value for money, especially with clean facilities and complimentary bottled water.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, which offers a cozy stay with simple yet beautiful decor. The location is unbeatable, right next to the bustling areas of La Rambla and Plaza Catalunya. The service was top-notch, making my visit feel special. However, the breakfast options were quite limited, and if you're a light sleeper, you might want a room away from the street due to noise at night.
