I only stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and they were the worst 3 nights of my life. I arrived at the hotel around 11 and because the hotel was apparently full their was no room available for us to stay in, the lady at the reception told us to come back at 2 o'clock and that a room would be free for us then.
As my friends and I roamed the streets for a few hours with hand luggage and suitcases we came back to the hotel where we finally got a room.
The room wasn't too bad apart from the fact the pillows were literally as thin as a piece of paper and the blankets were hideous and extremely difficult to look at. We got a tiny balcony which looked like it was hanging on for its dear life and our bathroom wasn't too bad apart from the fact we had a vent above to toilet with a bin bag with strips of tape holding it together, which we would soon realise why the bin bag was there to begin with.
As my friends and I spent most of our trip in Barcelona mostly outdoors exploring the food and the culture, i guess the worst part of our day was coming back to the hotel. The courtyard was extremely small and it had a foul smell, the floors were extremely dirty and there were leaves and plant pots everywhere. The staff would water the plants it would leak everywhere making the floors, chairs and our hair wet. May i add the roof looks like the top of a greenhouse and that they're not lifts so u would walk thousands of stairs with a suitcase.
And don't even get me started on the breakfast selection.
Day 2- Normally whenever I go on holiday i eat a sandwich for breakfast to keep me partially full until lunch or my next meal/snack. As I made my sandwich cutting the bread was like a game of tug-of-war I was fighting for my dear life just to cut the bread in half. And when i took a bite I could've sworn i almost lost a tooth in the process due to how hard the bread was. I'm sure this tasted WORST than prison food, and thank God i only had breakfast at the hotel because if breakfast is that bad i wonder how bad lunch and dinner were.
On day 3 i noticed rashes all over my legs, i asked my friends if they had noticed the same and it turns out our bed had bed bugs. I wish this was it but it only gets worse. Our power cut out 2 times in the 4 days we spent in Barcelona to the point the lady at the reception taught us how to turn on the power like this was a regular complaint at the hotel.
On our final night as me and the girls packed our suitcases and hand luggage as our flight was at 18:35 the next day us 4 girls excluding me in ONE ROOM may i add; that some of us would shower in the night and the rest in the morning. As i mentioned earlier there was a vent with a bin bag barely attached with 2 strips of tape above the toilet. I wish i could make this up but as my friend opened the door to get ready for a shower, a cockroach fell from the vent and started running around the bathroom my friend screamed like she saw a dead body and held tightly unto her towel as she jumped back unto the bed. She began to cry excessively as i was confused on what was even happening she claimed it was behind the toilet but the only thing I could see was a reed diffuser with brown liquid that I guess could somewhat look like a cockroach? However as the toilet door was open for more than 10 minutes as we argued over the fact that there was nothing there and that we should be disturbing the ladies next door that already didn't like us because we were loud and my friend was obviously screaming.
My friend "J" refused to go and shower until we found the cockroach and killed it. As i told her to do what suits her and continue to pack my suitcase she saw the cockroach once more as it escaped from the bathroom and was now underneath the desk and in our room. It started to go around our room until we got a member in public to get it out.
I guess the highlight of our trip was leaving the hotel as it was located in a sketchy alleyway and looked like a prison from the outside. You can barely hear what goes on in other rooms and I wouldn't recommend this ISN'T child-friendly.
