Hotel SB Icaria Barcelona

Everything near beach and a very good restaurants

Nothing

Did not eat breakfast in the restaurant.

There were towels laid out in the hallway outside of a guest room, by the elevator the entire 24 hours we were there and smelled like they were never changed. Not nice to look at or smell. There is a half shower 'shield' in the bathtub that did not make any sense. It did not extend the full length of the tub so water got all over the floor when I showered. A shower curtain would prevent this. We used all of the towels cleaning the mess so we didn't slip. This may be why there were floors laid in the hallway near another room. They may have had a bigger flood after their shower. Hard to say but judging by the amount of water on the floor after one shower, it would make sense. We tried contacting the desk for more towels but there was no answer. Went to the desk, but the staff was holding LONG conversations with the guests checking in and after 10 minutes, I gave up and got pool towels to take a shower. There is also a 'door stop' in the middle of the bathroom, right in front of the toilet. I stepped on it and stubbed my toe several times. I requested twin beds online and was allowed to book the room with that request. AFTER I booked the room, I got an email that they would not be able to accommodate my request for twin beds, only a double. When we got to the hotel, I was told that twin beds were not available for months. That was false advertising since once I made the reservation, it was nonrefundable and I really wanted twin beds. It made the trip uncomfortable and I was frustrated since other hotels appeared to have twin beds available.

Very good location (beach, metro, bus, bars, market all very close). Very good facilities / common area. Good room cleaning. Helpful staff.

We cannot set the air conditioner in the room. If it turns off in the middle of the night, you have to go to the reception or wait till next day to adjust the settings with them. Dirty chairs in the terrace. Breakfast is too expensive. Not too bad as there are many options around.
