 The walls were so thin I could hear neighbouring guests open and close their closets and drawers I panicked on the first morning because it sounded like they were showering in my bathroom What happened at 1am on Monday morning made me feel deeply uncomfortable I would have taken a cold shower but didn t want them to think someone was in their room It s always nice to hear cheery cleaning staff yelling to each other in the hallways though A final oddity there was a distinct lack of plug points so this was the first hotel I ve stayed at in many years where my phone hasn t been within arm s reach as it s charged overnight Having to march across the room and turn off my alarm rather than snoozing it for 2 5 hours was deeply distressing 
 I would go back for the rooftop pool alone It looks like a posh Ibiza resort but without the fat tourists hogging pool space at 8am The whole area was designed to make me feel way wealthier than I actually am and I loved every minute of it The room was huge The bathroom was so big I could fit a whole London hotel room in it I m such a terrible planner I didn t realise the hotel sits on Placa Espanya so if you get food poisoning like my travel companion you might be able to see one of Barcelona s most beautiful sites from your bedroom window Unfortunately my view was of a slum like alley
