The people on reception were friendly and polite and made me feel welcome straight away. My room was a little odd. I booked a single room, and my first impression was that it was quite old fashioned and could do with a bit of modernisation. There isn’t an external window, which I found disappointing - just a window looking into the hallway of the hotel. I had to keep my blinds closed the whole time just to maintain some privacy. The hotel is situated on a very busy street off of La Rambla, so if you’re looking to be central, this hotel is great. I think that’s really what you’re paying for, as the hotel itself is very basic, although clean. As a female solo traveller, I felt perfectly safe here. The room did not look like the photos on the website.
