A solid choice for a hotel in this quiet little Medieval town. Tucked in a little corner, away from the main streets, making it super quiet and peaceful to relax in.
Check in time is 3pm and check out time is 12pm.
But if you ask nicely and pretend like you have a heavy backpack and a tiny lady bladder, they just might let you check in an hour early.
The concierge, an older man (I didn't get his name), is nice without showing how annoyed he is with tourists (or Asians?) and explains everything to the fullest of his knowledge as well as ours. I like him.
The rooms are well decorated and so is the bathroom. Clean and pretty spacious, comparing to some of the other 4 star hotels in Barcelona.
They provided all the standard small appliances - fridge, safe, closet and water kettle, along with a few (4 to be exact) teas, instant coffees and all its accessories. They even gave an extra warm blanket in the closet for an extra cold night. How snug.
Bathroom accommodation is awesome too! They provide you with everything (except for slippers and bathrobe, not that I need it)- shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, soap, toothbrushes and razor!
And got a problem with unpredictable poopie butt? Worry no more, they not only have a tub in the shower but a bidet next to the toilet! Or if you just feel like having some water fountain up your rear.. whichever the case, you're in luck!
(Sorry about all the exclamation marks in this review, I'm just excited about how thoughtfully awesome this place is.)
Wifi is available and fast. Super needed for being in a foreign country with no roaming services.
Their coffee bar, located right next to the lobby, is the best thing ever! At least so far for someone like me who isn't used to the 'lavish' lifestyle, they're just fudgin' awesome. The snack bar is open 24/7, though breakfast is not included, you can just eat the pastries they have here, along with (what looks like) oriental nut mix and candies AND some packets of soda crackers. There's also 9 different teas (I know because I counted, twice) to choose from (if you're not a coffee person) and lots of different kinds of coffee (from a machine of course, of course), all included when you book a room here.
I think I may be in love with this hotel.
But, as we all know, nothing in this world is perfect, nothing is without its flaws as is this hotel. It's not about the accommodations but their plumbing? The shower worked great but the showerhead didn't. I had to 'shower' with the tub-filler which was fine because I was in the mood to take a bath anyways, just minutes before I decided to shower.. so... maybe the room can read my thoughts? But it did made it a little tough to do the pre-shower before baths but I survived and cleaned.
For a 4 Star hotel, they've earned their keep and then some! Superbly highly recommended. read more
