"The room key acts as an activation for the electricity which cuts out when the key is removed from its pocket in the wall, very innovative and energy efficient."

“What strikes me about this hotel is its location in a quieter, residential pocket of Barcelona, still within walking distance of the Sagrada Familia and with handy bus routes into the city center. The rooms are clean, air-conditioned, and the breakfast buffet seems like a solid way to start the day, and it looks like a smart choice for those who want to be close to the action but not in the thick of it.”
