unique stay near the picasso museum

modern touchhelpful staffnice loungebroken lights
i was grateful for the hotel's excellent location, near the picasso museum. the design had transparent showers, it gave the space a modern touch, but privacy remained. the staff were always available to help, they even provided useful tips. the lounge offered coffee, tea, and sweets, it was a very nice addition to the stay.
the colored lights that were advertised did not work. half of the light strip was completely off. the remote did not work either, this impacted the intended experience.

the location was acceptable and allowed easy access to nearby attractions.
The room had a strange layout with the shower in the middle. this resulted in a lack of privacy, and the bathroom lacked proper ventilation, the smell was a problem. the colorful lights did not work either. The remote was broken and some lights were not working.

My room included a lovely balcony and felt spacious. The staff were friendly and understood English perfectly. The common area had all required comforts. I found good tea and hot coffee there (the coffee machine worked fast).
The room had little privacy in the shower and sink areas (the transparent shower was not ideal for me), so I had to be extra quiet when getting up earlier than my travel partner.
