adequate experience

convenient locationquick walkpublic transportrude ladysmall roomdusty lobby
the location proved convenient. it allowed for quick walks to casa mila and casa batlló. its closeness to multiple public transport stations was also beneficial.. various restaurants were accessible nearby. i also found the ease of checking in and checking out to be a plus.
the lady at reception seemed rude and unhelpful. my fellow guests also felt she was unprofessional. the rooms are somewhat old and small, needing refurbishment. the lobby also appears dated and dusty.

the room i was assigned was smaller than expected. closet space was very limited, i struggled to store my belongings. a faulty light fixture in the bathroom flickered constantly, and it became distracting. maintenance should address the light soon, it was annoying.
