Quiet Nights for Busy DaysAway from busyness

“Our room is on the top floor, in the "attic", so it was nice to come back to the hotel, and to be "away" from the busyness of Barcelona streets.”

the location was quite good. it was really convenient for getting around. the staff were very friendly! even though checkout is at 11, they allow you to keep the baggage at the reception. this is very useful for late flights.

The rooms were small. they only had the necessary things. rooms didn't have windows to the outside. the bed covers were clearly not clean at all. there were holes in the sheets. You had to sleep with them.

i found the rooms not very well soundproofed. i could hear other guests talking and moving around. this made it difficult to sleep at times and impacted my rest. also, the breakfast was very basic. there wasn't much variety and the quality wasn't fantastic.
