“You pay for the location, but it’s not worth it”

The best

You can’t fault the location. 5 min walk from metro station. Very convenient. But that’s it - it’s not worth paying the money just for the location. After all, it’s definitely not a 4* hotel! The size of the room is ok, though as many others have suggested, it needs refurbishment as things are starting to fall apart. For example, the shower floor is wooden deck and when you step on it, it sinks and feels like it’s about to break any minute! I booked the room weeks ahead, and requested for a room on a higher floor. Guess what I got? A room on the first door, and of course that’s the only room available in the entire hotel. The room was so dark and lacked natural night. Reception was under staffed. 1 person available at 3pm on a Saturday. There was only 1 person being served in front of us but we ended up waiting for 10 mins before we were checked in. By the time we were done, there were at least 5 other people queuing behind us. Breakfast was horrible. It’s not a 4* hotel quality at all. The scrambled eggs were cold and solid. Looked like it was sitting there for a long time. I was so disappointed provided it got decent ratings. I travel to BCN regularly but definitely would not be staying at this hotel again.

“Worn hotel but clean in convenient location to train station”

The best

Clean and a nice location near a metro station, with pleasant staff. Hotel is old and worn inside, with peeling edges and worn upholstery……Not bad, but old and out of date. Not a “boutique hotel”, even if maybe it was. Container for facial tissues broke when I went to use it, no USB power ports, a weird switch for lighting that is hard to use in the dark. Lots of little things that show how out of date and poorly maintained it is - but ultimately clean and near Sants train station.

“Sauna have to ask to use not able to use the bath very inefficient”

The best

I am still staying at this hotel but not happy or impressed at all first I am unable to have a bath when the website states only you can’t use the Jacuzzi next I can’t just got to the sauna I have to ask and wait and there is nothing telling me to do this all in all the service etc is far from impressive and not worth the monies I paid Which I chose the hotel in order to have a functioning bath in my room not happy and hope to hear back soon

“Perfect!”

The best

Everything was perfect, the personnel was very friendly and helpful. The room was equipped with everything we needed and clean. Breakfast couldn't be better. The pillows were the best we ever had in a hotel. :-) Well located, public transport nearby.

The location of the hotel was very good for a city trip. Very close to the train station. Very clean, modern, spacious, nicely furnished room. The staff is very friendly and competent. Good starting point for a city tour. Great value for money.
