We stayed with this hotel as part of the Contiki tour. The coach is not able to park outside the hotel because of it's narrow roads. So we are
dropped along the main road and we had to drag our luggage for about 10-15mins uphill to
where the hotel is. Perdestrian roads leading to the hotel were narrow as well. Luggage
with wheels is definately an advantage here.
The hotel is part of a chain hotels and it's quite a decent size, different from the
family hotel we had been staying in. The lifts are small and wouldn't fit more than 2
people and 4 luggages so once again it's carrying the luggage up to the 4th floor.
The room is a decent size, old decor but it's clean. The bed is a proper twin size bed and
there's enough space to actually open our luggage up. There's a wooden rack/shelve which I
assume it's for luggage but we just place ours on the floor. There's a long writing desk
which is useful and the TV sits on it. There is also English channel which is great for
following up on the latest world news. No Kettle or cups provided in the room. Plastic cups were provided in the bathroom.Internet provided in rooms which is always a plus.
No mini fridge but there is a safe in the cupboard. However to use the safe, you need to
pay 5Euro per day and a 50Euro deposit to the reception. We just lock all our valuables in
the luggage. The flooring is wooden which also adds to the cleaniness. The bathroom isn't
very and there's a bidet in it. Shower over bathroom and it's very tiny. Because the light
is just where the entry is, the shower area is very dim, makes it very creepy when taking
a shower. The window in the bathroom can be opened slightly but you get to hear the
bathroom next door. In fact the room are so closed to one another you do not even need to
open the windows. We are advise the tapwater in Barcelona might give us stomachache.
The nearest metro station from the hotel is about 20mins walk and another 20-30mins into
the city. Single trip ticket is about $1.50Euro.
