The only thing that got me concerned was the location of the hotel because of the neighbourhood it was kind of strange and dangerous until 20:00 it is fine, however after that time you need to take an extra care.
Stayed in a twin bedroom. It was very basic but clean and tidy. A dispenser of shower gel/shampoo was provided. No facilities to make tea or coffee in the room.
Hotel staff were very helpful. Great with directions and recommendations.
Pool is definitely the hotel’s best feature. It’s a small area with low deckchairs and a limited bar menu but the view is lovely and the pool is lovely to cool down after sightseeing.
Raval is considered a "not very safe" district according to my friends who live in BCN, but I had a very safe feeling walking around even at very late at night.
Breakfast is not a highlight but meets expectations.
I can recommend this hotel to anyone. If you go for the budget room, be mindful that you will have a very small living area, but regular rooms provide enough space and are comfortable.
Of course, it all depends on what you might be looking for.
Every room is exactly the same more or less, so you feel like you're in a little white box. But... it's a nice white box. It does feel a bit like you're living inside an IKEA showroom
Great hard working staff!!!! Tip the maids who are immigrants doing the best they can do.
One thing that I cannot understand is this: why would a hotel of this size, with hundreds of rooms, have just one or two people working at the front desk.
I've worked in hospitality my entire life, and this is a total mystery to me.
It's also not fair to the hard-working staff who are trying to make hundreds of people happy.
One suggestion is this! Have the management team from the corporate office come down and work the front desk here for one week. By themselves.
That would make for a great lesson.
And I'm sure that it would change a few minds about how proper staffing works at a well staffed hotel.
Invest in your people!
Put your staff first, and everything else will follow!
Cleaning staff made the bed without disturbing my items and even placed and tucked my Teddy bear in, which I thought was very nice touch.
Breakfast buffet is very nice and extended
Staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful, as well as in the breakfast restaurant.
You get from me just 1 because of the dirty bathroom. It is ashamed that on the bathroom tiles in the shower, above the toilet and around the wash basin the tiles are dirty with soap spots and rests from previous guests. I did not mention it to the reception the night after our arrival as I wanted to give the housekeeper the chance to correct her forgotten work. Returning in the evening it was still the same. After two nights I mentioned it to the reception hoping the housekeeper would get instructions to clean the bathroom tiles. Coming back in the room at night nothing had changed.
Sorry for me unacceptable.
Besides that the drain of the shower is clogged.
We stayed in room 406.
The only thing to improve on would be better shower heads (very little water pressure) and add dumbbells plus Mats in the Gym.
The staff is very friendly, and breakfast is standard.
Decent breakfast although no drink making facilities in the room.
Would recommend eating within the Gothic Quarter at the small bars serving simple tapas.
