"Great location"
Pros: Great location. rooms good size.
Cons: The site needs to make it clearer that 80% of rooms have windows internally or no windows so you have no daylight. though i requested rooms with window or balcony, there had to be a bit of juggling of rooms on arrival and even then, we were given rooms with window to a void in building so you could not see any daylight at all. jacuzzi bit dirty also and pool freezing so did not use these even though we had planned to before the trip.

"Excellent location, couldn't be better"
Pros: Excellent location, couldn't be better. staff were all very welcoming and friendly. hotel clean and well kept.
Cons: There was absolutely no soundproofing in the bedrooms- you could hear everything happening in the corridors outside from inside your room, not great if you want a lie- in. our room had no window which was a shame, as we couldn't tell what the weather was like until we left the hotel. also although the pool was nice to cool off in, the jacuzzi was in very poor condition and didn't seem very clean- there was a sort of scum around the sides.

"Beautiful hotel, excellent location (central but in the old part of the..."
Pros: Beautiful hotel, excellent location (central but in the old part of the city), pleasant staff, room with window and balcony was great. i have no trouble recommending.
Cons: I originally booked another hotel which was not at all like that described on the website (i booked a double and the picture had a sunny window - i arrived to a tiny internal room with a single bed and a single window facing an internal dark courtyard - i was then offered a double room on the ground floor with no window - upon complaining i was offered the catalonia avinyo which was fabulous.
"loved the decor, the roof garden/patio, the location"
Pros: loved the decor, the roof garden/patio, the location.
Cons:
the availability of foam "egg carton" pads to make the beds more comfortable for people with back problems would be wonderful. i had to use a folded blanket to make a pad under the sheet, which the maid removed daily.

"Excellent location"
Pros: Excellent location. clean hotel.
Cons: On our second nights stay there was an unexplainable strong smell of paint/varnish. we brought this to the attention of the staff on reception but were told there were no other rooms available and there was nothing which could be done. the smell was very strong and this made it very difficult to sleep and somewhat spoilt our second nights stay. as the member of staff did not even visit our room to investigate the smell for himself, we simply feel that our complaint was not taken seriously and find this frustrating. we are not the kind of couple who complain easily either!
"Stuff are great and friendly, room was nice and tidy"
Pros: Stuff are great and friendly, room was nice and tidy.
i have nothing to complain.
