This hotel is deeply in love with itself, and to be fair it does have some beautiful parts, like the outdoor seating area, shaded by mature olive trees with the noise of a burbling fountain. There's a pool on the roof, but it's tiny and wasn't available when we went to look. The rooms are not well designed. Firstly, there's a 70" TV, which has an app called "internet" but can't access anything. Reception thought that maybe if your phone is a Samsung you might be able to cast to it, maybe. So unless you want to watch Spanish TV, news channels or see the mini bar price list in 70" format, don't get too excited about the TV. There's a bath, although the design of the shower screen doesn't allow it to be cleaned (I gave up asking the hotel staff to clean it, and did it myself) (which required getting into the bath, so not surprising it was considered a big ask by the housekeeping team). The light switches are pretty complicated. I think we had it worked out by about day 4 (we both have degrees in electronic engineering, but still never quite knew whether a switch would flood the room with light, make a light flick on and immediately off, or what). There's a god blind and louvre shutters so you can keep the sunrise at bay if you want a lie-in, which is very nice. There are tea and coffee making facilities, but whether the supplies will be replenished, or with what, or at what time in the day, is anyone's guess. Might be 9am, might be 5pm - we experienced both, and the full range in terms of variety and quantity of milk pots and tea bags. In the end we bought our own from a supermarket. There's a little fridge with a strange little collection of mini bar drinks (not complementary, though they're mainly soft drinks) , though the main bar is great, so we didn't pay it much heed.

The bed is MASSIVE, the bedding etc nice, the desk staff all have great English, though some have been to Charm School for longer than others.

The location is pretty good, just a few steps away from the top of the main road with the big Gaudi attraction Casa Batllo, and all the designer shops.

For the money, I think I would try somewhere else next time. There wasn't a lot about it to make me desperate to come back, and I would prefer not to have to help out with the daily cleaning at this price, really.
