“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.”

The hotel's central location was really convenient, especially because it was close to everything. 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.
