Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was really nice - fun design, very clean and had all the facilities that I needed. The room was quite small but comfortable and the staff were lovely - they always said good morning and good evening to me when I passed the reception desk.
I liked that there was complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits on each floor that was a nice touch. Having the restaurant connected to the hotel (it feels like the same venue but apparently it isn't) was really convenient and the breakfast was nice - a bit sparse compared to other places I've stayed but enough for what I needed and is very photogenic.
I was very happy with the general location of the hotel - it's just a few seconds walk to the Jaume I metro stop and about 10 mins walk to the Liceu stop which was very convenient for everywhere I needed to go.
The biggest problem for me was how noisy it was. I was on the 4th floor and thought that I'd be insulated from most loud noise but I was wrong. I could hear lots of noise from both inside and outside the hotel (the narrow streets act like an amplifier!) and I had to sleep with earplugs in every night even though I'm usually a deep sleeper. I didn't mind the higher price because of the great location, but the noise would make me hesitant about staying there again; everything else was great.
