I was disappointed and won’t stay here again. I read reviews before booking, have strongly disagree with the reviews I read, after seeing the property. The hotel is not in a pleasant area, and did not feel safe to me. Just a couple of blocks away, near La Rambla, would have been better. There were many street people hanging around the area, many of them appeared to be homeless.
The hotel was problematic because they use some sort of heavily fragrant cleaning solution everywhere, and the hotel lobby, elevators, and my room, had such a overwhelming smell of cleaning solution that I almost couldn’t breathe. I was there only for one night. If I had planned to be there longer, I definitely would’ve checked out and gone elsewhere, even at the expense of losing my money. The room is very Spartan. They try to promote this degree of starkness by saying they are doing this for the environment. Personally, I think they are doing it to save money. The bed was comfortable, the room were quiet, and I found the reception staff to be very accommodating. The location, the overwhelming smell, any limited amenities they provide in the room will keep me away. One more thing that they did have, that I am pleased with, is that had a working safe in the room.
