This apartment hotel is not close to the city center. Ideally, as a tourist, you would want to be situated close to the heart of the city center. You would have to rely on public transportation because it is not walking distance. Also, it is up a hill so you may not enjoy the hike up this hotel everyday after a long day of sightseeing.
Our room was okay. It is synonymous with 2-star accommodations back in the states, but for Europe, it is a higher standard. The beds weren't really that great but it does the job. At least it has free WiFi. There were also two small elevators which was a big plus. Some places in Europe have multiple levels without elevators so consider yourself lucky. The best thing about the room was the mini fridge. We were able to store our drinks in there. Considering it was the middle of summer, it was nice to have a nice cold drink. The hotel attendants were really nice and accommodating.
Also, in this particular hotel, you leave the key at the front when you leave. It is a smart idea considering many people probably lose their keys while sightseeing or whether it is those pesky pickpockets rampant in Barcelona. read more
