After having understood the drought and industrial water pollution in the city, these can all be explained. The room is probably partially renovated as shown by the floor/door. Bottle water is cheap sold in supermarket on the street and communal fridge at the end of the hallway. 3.5/5
The hotel location is superb. Within 5 minutes, walk to Metro L3 Jaime I station, bus stations that lead to Barceloneta beach etc, attractions: Picasso Museum, Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar, Ciutadella Park, other modern arts museum, flemenco shows, abundant restaurants, tapa bars, pastry shops, supermarkets.
Very convenient. Had to count on Google maps to move around the historic districts through the small Alleys and unmarked streets though. 5/5
Great breakfast buffet. 4.5/5
Free luggage storage though unsupervised in basement room.
Had to pay extra City tax for each hotel night stay. If using public transportation, it's about 1 hr. We used taxi ~€50.
Suggest to buy 1, 2, 3 day travel ticket for unlimited ridea: bus, Metro, airport and funicular that we got to every place we liked to visit. Online advanced purchase to La Sagrada Familia/tower, Park Guell or sold out for the time desired.
