Despite the occasional noise, the rooms at the hotel are pleasantly unconventional compared to other places I've stayed. The staff could use some improvement in customer service but are overall friendly and accommodating, providing services such as luggage storage outside check-in and check-out hours. The location offers easy access to sightseeing spots and a nice local atmosphere, though some parts appear tired. The dining options have shown improvement with freshly cooked eggs, but could use more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were clean and cozy, but the practicality could be improved. The service was top-notch with extremely friendly staff, although some issues with the door were a hassle. The location was superb, close to bars and restaurants, yet a bit pricey. The dining experience was average, falling short of expectations. The facilities were adequate, but some improvements needed.

The hotel was a bit expensive for my taste and very old style, lacking natural light which can be depressing, but the service was awesome, super friendly, great value for money, extremely clean, modern, and the staff were helpful and professional. The location was superb, with a great choice of restaurants and bars nearby, walking distance to most venues in the Eixample, and easy access to transportation options. The facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel had a fully equipped room with everything you could need, but it felt a bit crowded. The service was focused on details and atmosphere, but check-in took longer than expected.

I was a bit let down by the room experience due to the barbecue smell from the nearby restaurant and cigarette smoke. However, the service was friendly and attentive, though there were some issues with facilities like the unsafe safe door. The location was convenient for sightseeing but had its drawbacks, such as noise and bathroom privacy concerns. The dining options were varied in quality, ranging from basic to incredible.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff was warm and incredibly helpful, providing amazing recommendations for local food and drinks. The dining experience was superb and great value, and the facilities were top-notch. However, being next to the elevator was a bit of a downside for me, and an upgrade to spa access would have been the cherry on top.

The hotel has clean and well-maintained rooms with a modern look and feel, although a bit cramped with inconvenient power socket placement. The service was excellent and very friendly, with some occasional judgment when returning late at night. The location is great for exploring the city, within walking distance to most sights, but with slightly pricey drinks. The dining offered a nice buffet spread, though not worth the value. The facilities are well-kept and offer various services like room service and laundry.
