mixed feelings about this stay

convenient locationsmall roomcleaning cart
the location was acceptable as it allowed easy access to nearby attractions.
My allocated room, a superior double or twin room, felt smaller than advertised. the noise from neighboring rooms was disruptive. I heard every word and movement. the cleaning crew left their cart in front of my door for several days. this lack of attention is unacceptable for a hotel of this supposed caliber.

decent stay, some minor issues

good locationpublic transportshopping spotcramped family roomcleaning crewunpleasant view
the location is really good. it's close to public transport so it's easy to catch a taxi. the hotel is also close to the biggest shopping spots (i really liked that!) and most famous gaudi houses.
the family room felt a bit cramped. the cleaning crew left their cart and vacuum in front of our room for three days straight. i thought this was unpleasant for a 4 hotel (it looked messy).

uneven experience

thin wallsnoisy air conditioning
my stay had some issues. the walls were too thin, so i heard everything from other rooms. this. also, the air conditioning made strange noises. it worked, but the sounds were disruptive at night. i hoped for a more peaceful stay, but these problems detracted from it.
