Barcelona City Seven

This hotel was clean beyond clean!! We had a double room with private bathroom. It was tired and very basic but we were very happy with it. It was a small room with 3 beds which made it cramped but loads of cupboard space a fridge and tv. The cleanliness was outstanding. The breakfast was great and plentiful, the communal areas were very stylish and comfy. Staff did not speak very much English but were very helpful and suoer friendly.

On arrival at 7.30pm the entire place was locked up. It is in an apartment building with no sinage on the street and no ability to gain entrance. On the paper work i had it stated that reception would be open until 8pm. This was not true. As i arrived from the uk with no phone i was left on the street stressed wondering what to do. Fortunately a lady in the shop opposite was kind enough to ring a number on my paperwork and inform me i had to travel half way around the city to collect keys. I got a taxi and collected keys but no where on the paperwork did it say to ring on arrival. This left me stressed and confused especially as my taxi driver had told me i was actually booked in to the derilict squat next door! Thanks to the shop lady everything was sorted and we were able to gain access. Being in the city it was a noisy hotel, unfortunately the single glaze windows made this worse.. Every noise inside and out was heard, take earplugs.
