Cute hotel in great neighborhood & good overall location. Extreme heat was a strain on the hotel a/c, which struggled to keep the room cool. Rooftop pool a nice thought, if there were only 6 people in the hotel. Pool was small, and not enough chairs for more than 8 or 10 people …. water was not inviting, and the entire rooftop area needed cleaning up. If you just consider the location abd the staff, it was great!

Small pool on the roof, not enough to swim, just cool down. Great breakfast. Easy to walk to everything. Central without being right in the heart of things. Incredibly helpful staff. Draw backs parking is off site and you must walk into and out of the neighborhood to get a taxi or Uber, you cannot call one to the hotel unless you heading to the airport

This is our fifth stay at this hotel, and we will return. We love the neighbourhood as it is not quite smack in the most touristed area but close enough to walk to everything and to enjoy the local neighbourhood. There is an inexpensive laundromat, a grocery, and a farmacia just outside the door and restaurants of all price ranges nearby. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I wish we could get Catalonia points even when we book with Expedia. We stay in Catalonia hotels every year but don’t get to take advantage of the loyalty program.

Good basic hotel in a good location (especially for the marathon). Rooms are quite small and the bathroom is a bit illogical (what is the point of a rain shower without an individual faucet), but overall, I was happy.
