The property was in an area that did not appear safe but was safe and walkable to various shops and restaurants and a shopping mall. It was not too far from the hop on and hop off bus. (one stop from La Sagrada Familia). The staff was helpful and freindly.
I did not like that there were no irons in the rooms. I was in Barcelona for a cruise and wanted to iron some clothes before getting on the ship where irons were not allowed.They did have a steamer, but it did not work that great. I also did not like the fact that we were charged 20 euros to check into our room early as we had an early arrival flight. I have never been anywhere that charged a fee for that. If the room is ready than what am I paying for? It is not like we asked them to clean a room for us early. We paid the fee because after a 9-hour flight we were ready to rest. I was traveling with a number of people who were staying at various other hotels in Barcelona. None of them were charged a fee. On the back end of my cruise, I stayed in a hotel near the airport. The room was ready when we arrived (5 hours earlier than the checkin time) and I was not charged a fee. In my entire years of living, I have never been charged a fee for early check-in.
