    Awkward bathroom. Definitely a quirky layout. Not the best mattress. Large plumbing pipe and noise near bed.

    Location, building, vibe.

    did not notice an AC, in the room for summer stays

    Completely a different environment, chick sophisticated, would have prefferred a king size bed or a queen not a double twin for the size of the room.

    Hotel is a bit shabby, some design elements and walls scream for cleaning or fresh paint.

    Very interesting concept of the hotel, surprising design, but all works together very well and ads to feeling comfortable.

    The fact that the bathroom was integrated with the room without a door is not something I like. Also steps down from the bedroom. We have a situation with the room where water drop rain was entering but thy changed us to another one. Also the elevator does not go to the entrepiso whereour room was.

    The room. Is very big and beds very comfprtable. The decor was very chic .wink wink. We got the breakfast at the hotel twice and it was very good the reception is not i. The hotel itself but a few meters further so be aware.

    Minor point about the cleanliness of the room. I found hairs on the floor.

    Very unique hotel with a separate street entrance for rooms next to reception. My room was huge with 2 balconies where I could look over the Born area. Overall enjoyed my stay here and would recommend.

    The breakfast was extremely disappointing. We were informed the day after we arrived that due to a technical issue they were unable to serve breakfast as normal, instead we were given a box which included a sandwich, pastries, yogurt & a bottle of warm orange juice. We were there 4 nights & were provided with exactly the same box each breakfast.

    Its location and comfort of the room

    The shower needs recaulking, that was leaking a bit underneath the glass. The toilet space is very shallow so hard to manoeuvre in there with the door closed. The coffee machine in the common area had an issue and wasn't working one day, but that was fixed the day after. We couldn't change the color of the LEDs in our room, I think the control for it were broken, that was a downer because it was set to bright green, which is not the most charming color. Breakfast on the first day was served downstairs and was simple, but ok. The days after we could pick up a breakfast box, due to some technical issues they had. That was a nice gesture, however the bread was mushy, the croissants were dry and old and there was no choice in what to have on the bread. We ended up getting sandwiches at a bakery down the street for the remainder of our stay, which was ten times better.

    We were in room 23, which I think has the biggest balcony, that was a big plus. Location was nice, and the hotel certainly has character. Though at 300 euros a night in October a bit expensive. Staff was nice.

    The shower didn't really allow much privacy and took up far to much space for the small room. Watch out for the doves on the balcony ;-).

    The staff was lovely. The room was cosy and quiet. The house was beautiful, the lounge comfortable and the design fun and tasteful. Nice bars next door.

    Bathroom inside the room is "different", but shower place when wet is VERY slippery. The stairs inside the room can be a problem if you walk without paying attention.

    From Booking.com, I thought breakfast was included -- but it wasn't. Hallways had this weird modernist setup with fluorescent ropes surrounding each doorway which was very annoying.

    Location was fantastic -- could not have asked for better. In the artsy Born neighbor, it was close to restaurants and shops, but was not loud at night. It was a 10min walk to the gothic quarter, 30 min walk to Sagrada familia, a couple minute walk to the train station. We took several tours, and all met within 10min walk.

    It would have been nice to have a couple of chairs and a light in our room for sitting and talking or reading. (The room was very spacious but there was almost no furniture in one half of it)

    Wonderful room (with terrace), very stylish shower, sink, and toilet facilities, loved the mirrors and ceiling moldings. Bed was super comfortable. Terrace was lovely in the evenings. Very quiet too. We were on the back of the hotel so there was no street noise, and there was no noise from any other guests either. Staff was very helpful.

    The room needed some maintenance and a bit of a facelift! The shower door didn't close properly and the toilet was very difficult to flush.

    The room 7 is quite big and pleasant so why not adding a desk ? I had to take some calls and do some work and could only sit on my bed, holding my computer on my legs. Not super convenient.
