I loved the hotel's fantastic location, being close to a lively bar street and just a stone's throw away from the parallel metro station. The rooms, with their modern bathrooms and double beds, were cozy and comfortable. However, the inner yard view from my windows was a bit disappointing. The hotel has a great value for money, although the dining options were limited to just delicious crepes.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, near the metro station and not far from the city center. There were several food places around, making it convenient for dining. The room with an external window was cozy and had a normal bathroom, but the view into the terribly narrow inner yard wasn't ideal. The Italian strata I tried was delicious, and the housekeeping service was top-notch. Overall, a great value for money choice.

The hotel is situated near a Metro station and some good tapas restaurants, but it's too close to a noisy bar street. The rooms have windows looking into a terribly narrow inner yard and feature a normal bathroom with a double bed. The service was attentive, including help with reservations and tours. The dining experience offers award-winning local meats. The facilities meet basic needs but nothing extraordinary. The value for money is decent considering the location and service provided.

The hotel's location is a big plus, being very close to the metro station and various interesting sights. The rooms, although with big windows, faced a terribly narrow inner yard, and the normal bathroom was just average. Service was attentive, especially with a card for breakfast, but lacked other standout features. The dining options were typical, and the facilities were decent. Overall, a mixed experience with some clear strengths and weaknesses.

The hotel is conveniently located not far from downtown with quick access to Paral-lel metro station. The room with two big windows was bright and cozy, but the view into the terribly narrow inner yard was disappointing. The service was attentive, especially in sorting out my reservation with paid breakfast. The dining experience was lacking due to the raw fish option, but the facilities were well-kept and inviting. The value for money was decent, though being close to a lively bar street could be noisy at times.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, close to all amenities and within easy reach of Montjuic hill. The staff were incredibly helpful in arranging a taxi for us quickly to the airport and to the nearest Metro station. However, the view from my room was less than ideal, facing a terribly narrow inner yard. The price was reasonable, and I appreciated the value for money.
