“This property's Mediterranean design aims for relaxation, but some areas need updating. I noted its proximity to Rambla Nova and event spaces, as well as family-friendly services; however, the surrounding area requires a 20-minute walk to the historic center, so be mindful of the immediate environment.”

central location with clean rooms

central location direct elevator

The hotel's central location was really convenient, especially because it was close to everything. The direct elevator access from the parking garage below the hotel was a plus. I appreciated that the hotel room was clean overall. The cleanliness added to the comfort of my stay.

The air conditioning did not work properly, so I had to keep the window open. This caused a lot of street noise.
