Not quite what the reviews promised..
Our stay in Barcelona was fine. Not terrible, but definitely not the experience we were expecting based on the glowing reviews.
We had booked through Expedia and were notified of a free room upgrade, but upon arrival, we were quickly informed that wouldn’t be happening. No explanation, just a flat “no,” which set the tone.
The location is relatively central, near La Rambla, which is handy and having a pool helped on the hot days but it was very murky, cloudy and looked unclean. And I’m not sure fake grass around the pool is the best idea..
As for the room - basic at best. Our “view” was of a tired old courtyard scattered with cigarette butts, which didn’t exactly scream Barcelona magic.
All in all, it was an average stay that didn’t live up to the hype. Nothing awful, but nothing that would bring us back either.
