To conclude: I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona. Its location is absolutely superb. We only took the metro for our trip to Plaza de España and Montjuïc Castle; for the first two days, we walked to all indoor attractions (Gaudí's three masterpieces, various squares, cathedrals, the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, La Boqueria Market, etc.). If we got tired in the afternoon, we could quickly walk back to the hotel for a break, so location is definitely its biggest advantage. As for service, everything was as expected and sufficient. While it's not comparable to hotels in China, it's quite good for Europe. Breakfast was also decent. Although there's no bottled water in the room, there are water dispensers on every floor in each hallway. My wife is very sensitive to water taste, and she said the water here was fine. The hotel seems to have been renovated in 2023, so all the facilities are new, not like an old, musty hotel. Finally, let's talk about the only drawback, which might be a common issue for most hotels in Europe: poor soundproofing. You can hear people showering and even slightly loud conversations from the next room. On our second night, unfortunately, the guests next door came back at 1:30 AM, showered, and spoke loudly, waking us up. It probably took an hour for us to fall back asleep. The next day, after we returned from sightseeing, we actually received a letter from the hotel reminding us to keep quiet! This was unacceptable. I immediately went down to complain to the hotel manager, explaining that it wasn't us (room 619, we were at the end of the hall) making noise, but room 618 next to us. The manager immediately apologized, saying the complaint came from guests in room 617... After that, it seemed like no one checked into 618, or the new guests were very quiet, as we weren't disturbed again. Overall, I still highly recommend this hotel!
