Excellent Stay!

basic breakfastattractive balconyavailable laundry
The kitchen had basic breakfast items, like coffee and bread. There were also attractive balconies guests could use. Laundry was available after I arranged it with staff. It was REALLY clean.
The walls seemed a bit thin, as I could hear some noise from the hallway.

interior designcomfortable bedgood locationsmall roomoutside noiseshared balcony
i stayed in the montserrat room and i appreciated the interior design. the bed was comfortable (i slept really well). the location is also quite good, close to the river and the city centre. the neighbourhood had excellent cafés and good restaurants.
The room was a bit small for two people. the noise was also an issue. I could hear doors closing and people walking in the corridor. a shared balcony is a nice addition, but i could hear some noises and smoke coming into the main corridor.
