We arrived during a very hot week. The air conditioner had problems keeping up. We were on the 8th floor.. Our room had two terrace balconies with beautiful views at night. During the day the heat penetrated through the doors and did not help with keeping the room cool. Usually by bedtime the air conditioner would start to cool down the room. The bathroom was too crowded and somewhat unsanitary. The bathtub liner would stick to your body while showering. Once done, even though we took cold showers the bathroom would heat up and flow into the bedroom when we opened up the door. The room had a hostel type setup and very basic furnishings. Our room had no decorations at all on the walls. As mentioned, we were on the 8th floor and once we got off the very small elevator, the smell of sewage was apparent. We had friends that stayed on the 5th floor, even though their room was a bit better than ours, their air conditioner kept their room pretty cool. Their room had no windows, but had an area with an empty elevator shaft accessible in their room.
The hotel breakfast package was a European type of breakfast (cheese/meats/ breads). Not at all what we are used to.
They were very limited to what they offered. We decided to go out on Las Ramblas and looked for a breakfast more our style.
