Not really sure how this hotel was so highly rated. It was fine, but the number of stars do not match the quality of the building. Also, our stay was off to quite a rough start..

We arrived early for our stay after disembarking from a cruise. The hotel was able to accommodate us for an early check-in ..for a price of €20 per room. We opted for paying to check into one room early so we could drop our bags in the room and freshen up before exploring Barcelona. When I went to pay, the price after “taxes and fees” somehow became €38 and change. Wow. Almost 100% charge in taxes and fees? I was not a fan of that because at that point just tell me the cost of an early check-in is €38.
Then we started to load up our things to them up to our room only to immediately become trapped in the elevator. (Two adults with a carry on and checked luggage each).
Luckily, this pretty much concludes the bad experiences. As stated, the building was fine, but looked to be more in the 3-star category, not higher. Ie older a/c dials, deteriorating floors/baseboards, etc. The actual room and bathroom was clean. There was water and sweet treats near the entryway for guests to help themselves. The staff was nice. The hotel was within walking distance to multiple restaurants, bars, shops, and Sangrada Familia. We were about a half hour from the port, the airport and other touristy areas around Born.
TLDR; it was fine, my expectations were probably just set a bit higher because of the star rating Show More
