9.4/10 Exceptional! (172 reviews)
Very difficult to enter the property many times waiting outside for long periods for someone open the door and when It’s hot it’s not great. Breakfast offer was very poor and they provide breakfast as small rations. We arranged a premium Interior on arrival we were told we were upgraded to an outside room. The room was so noisy it was basically like being on the street outside. I imagine someone else complained and got moved and we ended up In this room. Would not stay here again there are much better choices in Barcelona.
