Hesperia Properties in Barcelonès

The room was quite spacious; my friend and I had no problem opening up both our suitcases. The water pressure in the bathroom was excellent, making showers and hair washing quite comfortable. The location is pretty good too – a bit far from the subway but there's a bus stop right outside. It's super convenient for getting to Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, and Sagrada Família. The area feels safe, with plenty of food and drink options nearby. The staff were very friendly and spoke English fluently, so communication was a breeze. However, there were a few issues. Firstly, there was no shower curtain for the bathtub, so the bathroom floor was soaked every time we showered, and it got quite chilly after a while. Secondly, the duvet didn't have a proper cover; instead, two sheets were used above and below it, and all three layers were tucked in so tightly under the mattress by the staff that we had to struggle to pull the duvet out every night. We ended up asking the front desk not to make our beds for the rest of our stay. Though, I hear this duvet cover situation might be common in Europe. Lastly, the soundproofing was really poor. We were lucky our neighbors weren't too noisy, and my friend and I aren't particularly sensitive to sound, but you could honestly hear every little thing happening next door. All in all, it was a mixed bag, but for the price and location, we couldn't really expect much more.

The apartment is next to the subway (terminal), which is very convenient. There are seats for travel. Next to it is the Hyatt Hotel, which has a good location. There is a large supermarket downstairs, which makes shopping very convenient. The room is very comfortable, and it is highly recommended.

The hotel is located in the Gothic Quarter, surrounded by numerous highly-rated restaurants, so you'll never have trouble finding a good meal – there are plenty of options within a hundred meters. It's also very close to the Old Port, which is a great place for an evening stroll after dinner. The room was reasonably clean and tidied daily, and the bathroom was spacious, though the door was a bit hard to close. The extra bed was too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on. Free coffee, water, and small snacks are available in the lobby all day.
