Great Location and Original Design

great locationlovely balconyhelpful staffstrange shower
I found the location very walkable. It was close to many attractions. The room was spacious and had a lovely balcony. I enjoyed sitting outside. The staff helped me with my needs, and the room design was very interesting.
The shower, as the centerpiece of the room, was a bit difficult to navigate. I understand it is boutique, though it was strange.

underwhelming stay

poor sound insulationminimal storage space
the shower lacked proper privacy, it was positioned in the center of the room. noise traveled easily through the walls, this disrupted my sleep. the room also felt cramped due to minimal storage space for luggage and personal items.

Fantastic Hotel Experience

friendly receptionistfresh towelsgreat locationbroken bulbs
I appreciated the friendly receptionist, who provided great dining recommendations. The room looked just like the photos and included fresh towels daily. The location was excellent (near many shops and restaurants), within walking distance of the Arc de Triomf and other neighborhoods.
Upon arrival, the colored lights did not work properly in the room. The remote failed to operate it. half of the bulbs were broken.
