8/10 Very Good
Oct 19, 2024
Basic but excellent location
Very easy to find, close to metro station and a bus stop, in a small alley but well-lit & next the the theatre so quite a busy route. The glass doors were in a bad shape, they have been badly broken and no signs of them being repaired while we were there. The reception staff are LOVELY, so helpful and polite and speak excellent English. The room was quite spacious for a European city. The curtains were a bit tatty, had holes in and dirly marks, the lamp shades were badly stained and had a layer of dust on. The towels weren't changed for us on one of the days, we had to re-use the ones we'd left on the floor which wasn't great, we should have rung down to reception but we decided just to reuse. The bed was quite hard, very comfortable for me but not for my mum who I was sharing a room with. No USB ports in the room but plenty of plug sockets if you have an EU adapter. Nice big TV and if you have a Netflix account you can watch it there. No bath in our room but the shower is ok, shower gel nice enough but bring your own shampoo as the hotel shampoo isn't great quality. Very noisy door slamming from our room neighbours, but that's not the hotels fault. Excellent location for La Ramblas and the shops around Placa de Catalunya. Lots of places to eat nearby and I didn't find them that pricey despite what I'd read beforehand. I kept my valuables close by and never experienced any pickpockets which I was warned about before my trip.
