HLG City Pelayo Hotel バルセロナ

This hotel is not a good value for the money. we've stayed in may and paid a wooping 140 euro for this very basic hotel without breakfast. tiny room stipped down to the bare bones: two twin beds pushed together, no table, dirty old chair in the corner and an aircon that is tuned off at night (when you need it the most). dirty old carpet, no pictures on the walls, the room is the size of the bed - no place to put two suitcases. just depressing. reseption staff varies. none speak good english, but some are friendlier than others. if you are on a romantic trip to barca, try finding something nicer.

There is slight street noise but if you're a light sleeper like me just take ear plugs, they work a treat!

Air conditioning did not work and is not turned on until may! even at 28oc!

There are small rooms, very small rooms and the room we had in city pelayo hotel... breakfast lounge was bit unpleasant: subzero without any direct light. we decided to have breakfast outside on a terras nearby, a far better choice.

The air conditioning wasn't working so the room was very stuffy and hot all the time.

Small room, street noise, staff not very knowledgeable about the area for restaurant recommendations

Night staff were...example: "could we have two extra pillows?" reply "not possible" "but could you leave a message for the cleaners to leave two extra ones in the morning?" "no!...not possible". it was only a small thing but it left an impression. oh and the coffee machine never worked but lets face it...neither of those things are the end of the world when you are with a beautiful woman who makes you smile just by looking into her eyes.

Be careful not to be confused with another hotel pelayo just a few doors down and if you can improve directons to the hotel as we had no idea that we were so close to univesitate metro station or that the a1 bus from the airport stopped virtually outside our hotel.
