Charming Stay Near Casa Mila

wonderful staffcharming roomperfect locationcommunal area

I found the staff wonderful. The room possessed true charm. Breakfast was really good, the location superb. The hotel is close to Casa Mila and major shopping areas. This made exploring the city easy.

Noise did occasionally carry from communal areas during the late hours. This caused some disruption to the nights.

A continental breakfast featured croissants, cheese, and meats. Fresh fruits and homemade cheesecake were also available. The dining room's setting was a bit dark, a factor to consider.

The breakfast arrangement included a wide variety of healthy options. It was very relaxing.

A club night took place in the building on Saturday. Music and bass were so loud my bed vibrated constantly. It did not stop until about 3am so I got little sleep (it was really AWFUL).
