amazing stay, loved the location!

natural light cherry flavour friendly team
the reception area had a lovely scent and was full of natural light! i adored the little heart-shaped, cherry-flavored sweets on the reception desk. the reception team was very friendly! i requested twin beds and the hotel met my need. the location was fantastic and i walked to estacio del nord each day for the spanish gp! it was also near the rambles. there were many lovely streets with a square near the hotel and i ate tapas there most nights, enjoying the weather. i also discovered a great sweets shop called 'cake' just across from the hotel!
the air conditioning did not work on my first night, only blasting hot air and causing a very uncomfortable night's sleep! i was told someone had requested the air conditioning be turned off for the entire floor, so there was no cooling at all, really bad! there wasn't even a fan available!
Rooms
9/10
my room featured three large windows and three layers of curtains, a blackout layer, a sheer layer, and a main curtain! it had comfy beds, fluffy pillows, and a powerful, hot shower, so i was happy! the room also included combined shampoo and shower gel, toothbrushes, and cotton wool pads.
Facilities

the hotel is in a great location! it's easily walkable to the marina, shops, and many restaurants, so it's great for exploring the city! it's also a short taxi ride to the cruise terminal if you need it. the hotel offers convenient access to many areas.

breakfast was delicious and varied! it included hot items like sausages, fried eggs, beans, and tortillas. cake options such as almond cake, croissants, chocolate-dipped pastries, and toast! the juices were also yummy, especially the tropical flavor! i was really pleased!

Fantastic Stay in Great Location

professional staff quality breakfast easy walking
I stayed in a Double or Twin Room Exterior and found it very clean. The staff were professional and genuinely nice . I took advantage of the buffet breakfast and was delighted by its nice quality.. many quality restaurants were within easy walking distance.
The pillows in the room were not super comfortable, which affected my sleep quality slightly. It was a minor inconvenience, but better pillows would greatly improve the experience. I hope the hotel considers upgrading them soon.
