Our family of 4 enjoyed a great 4 day stay at Splendom Suites in June. The apartment is nice, very modern, and has everything one might need at a good price. The master bedroom is rather spacious and has nice shelves and hanging space to unpack luggage. The second bedroom is tiny with just the double bed and very little floor space, but it is sufficient. The air conditioner got the apartment very cold as needed, but we couldn't always figure out how to program a temperature and found ourselves turning it on and off instead. The tiny balconies are nice as we could open the doors and enjoy the fresh air front and back. The bathroom was comfortable, even though the shower door seemed to lack a proper seal, allowing water to seep onto the floor. But an extra towel from Housekeeping takes care of that. The wifi was a good strong signal, worked well.
The apartment's location is GREAT! We were just a few blocks from Passeig de Gracia and Casa Battlo and Las Ramblas, but this street and those within a 3 block radius has lovely restaurants (Topik and a Thai restaurant just down the street, and Tatika Berri across the street) and is a bit more quiet without being completely deserted. It never took more than a 3 min wait to catch a taxi. Also, the restaurant directly across the street is in a 3 way tie for our best meal in Spain, but be sure to make a reservation at least a day in advance for dinner. We saw people lining up outside in the evenings over half an hour before it opened, and huge crowds filled the front part of the bar for pintxos (small bites on trays on the bar for self-service), but the inside has plenty of tables with great service and delicious food.
Also, it was nice knowing that there was someone at the desk available for help, although it really wasn't needed. read more
