Hotel is in a nice area. Nice views from rooftop bar. Small pool area that doesn’t accommodate many. Wonky bathroom set up. Not private enough for friends traveling together.

Perfect option for tourism

The surprise rooftop lounge and pool is the best part of this property. When you are tired of walk and back to the hotel you get a lounge to relax and enjoy a good food and vine for a reasonable price. Very good breakfast. Strongly recommended.

Hotel Rec is a lovely hotel with friendly accommodating staff. The rooftop bar and pool is a great area to relax, with a drink and a snack and take in the view of the surrounding city. The location was good - near to cafes, restaurants and within walking distance of some of the key sites.

Great hotel, staff were super. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Though this next point is out of the control of the hotel, a reminder for all visitors to be aware of your surroundings and stay safe when out in the neighbourhood. Be vigilant with keeping your personal belongings safe.

Good for a Short Stay” The hotel was okay overall. The room was clean, and the bed was decent, but a few broken pieces ( window, cabinets). Staff were friendly, got through checkout very fast. Great location though—close to public transport and a few decent restaurants.

Dirk, Takoma Park

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We spent $450 for one night, breakfast included. The room was rather shabby, wifi ports were non functional, and the room was on the first floor and visible from the street with little privacy and some street noise. The room was rather generic with a plastic ambience that was far below the standard of other hotels in this price range, such as the Pulitzer. The kettle was in a location that did not have a port so we moved it to the floor to use. Not a big deal for a cheap hotel, but not something you expect for $450. The best thing this hotel offers is an open air roof top bar and breakfast which are quite nice. Next time in Barcelona, I’ll choose a better option though.
