 The beautiful pool terrace was in the shade all day and no drinks facility available The pool was icy cold There was MOULD growing on both jugs of lemonade and iced tea in the gym The hot water coffee machine was painfully slow which made the tea lukewarm by the time it had filled the pot The step up and down from our room 702 was very high and in fact dangerous if it was dark or wet The late check out facility could be managed better I asked the question about a late check out on booking the hotel and never received a response When asking at the reception 24 hours before checkout I could not get a yes or no answer Eventually we had checkout at 1pm instead of 12 noon but couldn t confirm this until 9am on the day which isn t very helpful 
 Both rooms 404 702 were beautifully clean and well maintained The beds were comfortable although very tightly tucked in making it difficult to get under the covers Afternoon snacks were generous tasty and very welcome Great location for central Barcelona La Rambla shopping tours cafes etc Beach was not so close but cheap in a taxi
