amazing stay near placa catalunya!

excellent locationeasy transportationunattentive staff
the location was very nice! it's seriously just a few minutes to placa catalunya and la rambla street. tons of shopping spots are super close. getting around was so easy because the metro takes you everywhere in zone 1 and buses are super convenient too. i totally recommend this place!
i did notice that the breakfast table staff seemed a bit off, not super attentive. there was a small mix-up with my breakfast reservation one morning, which took a bit to sort out! it wasn't a huge deal, but a little extra attentiveness would was great.

the location was central , allowing quick access to many attractions. the room featured excellent lighting with many spotlights, a detail i appreciated. the hotel provided a coffee machine in the lobby , available at any time.
the street was very noisy , , made it hard to sleep well. the air conditioning seemed to be centrally controlled , and i could not adjust it. this led to the room being too hot , even though it was winter.
