A room had a view onto the dark ventilation shaft. Very unpleasant. Had to keep the window and curtain closed all time and to switch on the air condition. Parking too expensive and the price for it not specified in the reservation confirmation. Garage not in the hotel itself but under the square nearby. Breakfast too expensive, but there are some nice snack bars nearby where you can eat (not only breakfast) cheap and good. Nice little square nearby with domestic atmosphere. Underground station (Tres Torres) is very close and you can reach the city centre (Plaza de Catalunya) pretty fast (10 min).

Excellent

This was an excellent small hotel, especially when I was traveling on a set allowance for work. The hotel is in a quiet residential street with good bus and metro links within 3 minutes walk, and the central Avinguda Diagonal within 15 minutes stroll, and the Nou Camp walkable in 30 mins. It was a pleasant bonus to have a small private balcony, the breakfasts were good, and the staff helpful. I got a taxi from the airport, which was convenient as the hotel is on the right side of town. Being in a residential area was nice, the local amenities weren't touristy or tacky, just pleasant. This hotel is a short walk to Sarria and the Pedralbes, both worth a look.
