 Our room was ready however checking in at 13 00 was only possible by paying EUR 25 For two hours before regular check in time I have never been asked to pay When at the lobby I heard that another couple was asked to pay EUR 15 for early check in What Decided not to make any trouble with Javier from the reception but this is defnitately NOT customer friendly and not accetable don t do this anymore 
 Great location in Born many restaurants and places to drink on walking distant Within 20 minutes walk you are on the beach or at the Rambla Rooftopbar and pool are the best Room 102 is comfortable and clean with a good shower and soft matras fine for us Great place to stay highly recommend this and stay away from hotels near the ramblas
