 The hotel had the heating on during spring holidays Heating Outside there were 25 degrees We actually needed air conditioning We asked our room to be changed because the one we were firstly assigned was facing east and the morning sun and was hence even warmer especially at the beginning of the day when you would like to sleep till late and mildly dirty The new room facing west was much better overall we had a good time The pool is not a swimming pool but rather a grown up bath Don t choose the hotel because of the pool Overpriced for the quality they should charge as a 3 stars hotel or maybe refurbish it a bit The door frames are consumed especially at the bottom the bed has these old fashioned faked leather cushions on top that we had to put somewhere else every night the toilets are all made of marble nice but perhaps in the 70s 
 The personnel was extremely nice and helpful The bed super comfy The location is not bad at all despite the reviews I am a walker I have to admit but the underground station is 5 7 minutes walk Passeig de Gracia 2 or 3 stops away nearby you have very nice bars for breakfast Park Guell is 15 minutes walk away If you are fine with walking and climbing a bit don t be fooled by the reviews regarding the location it s convenient and in a nice area
