Excellent experience. Really like the rooftop patio/pool. Spacious with a layout that also felt private. Staff were very friendly. AC initially did not work well, but they were able to fix this right away. We would definitely come back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
My couple and I stayed on a premium suite and unfortunately, the hotel is not in the conditions that are shown in the pictures. Not clean enough, items like the door room and electricity were not working on the right conditions. Their sofa were old and dirty. The rooftop area was kind of old too and deteriorated. Definitely not cost-value.

Compared to our stay at Axel in Barcelona this location was somewhat of a let down. Overall clean and well maintained. However the rooms were dark and the layout/vibe was more "emo teenager" than hip/queer. The breakfast also had less offering compared to our stay at the Axel in Barcelona.

Everything was perfect, the room, the staff and the location. The only issue was that they were refurbishing the pool so we weren’t able to use it.

Convenient, Walking distance to some tourist attractions and shopping. Room is clean, the gym is ok but not a lot of equipment. The rooftop bar and pool is nice. The only complain is my bathroom sink is right infront of the window and have no curtains whatsoever to prevent other guest from seeing me use it.
