Room size is a bit small Double bed is just a combine of two single beds which cause inconvinence Shower head and basin water flow rate is rather low. Bathroom facility does not match with my expectations. Cleanness of the room can be improved. Bedsheets are found with small amount of hair.

I really enjoyed the convenience of the location but with that in mind it was noisy due to the activities at the arc de Triomf. The shower was a little complicated at first but we figured out how to get hot water and it’s worth paying for the breakfast. I would stay there again.

Perfect option for tourism

The surprise rooftop lounge and pool is the best part of this property. When you are tired of walk and back to the hotel you get a lounge to relax and enjoy a good food and vine for a reasonable price. Very good breakfast. Strongly recommended.
