This was my fourth stay at a Numa property, so it's safe to say I'm a fan....hoping for a loyalty scheme to be introduced!||Roca was initially a bit confusing, as the rooms are actually in two separate buildings a few doors apart on the same street. I ended up trying to get into the wrong building and wondering why the door code didn't work. Once I worked out where the correct building was I was able to get in and use the luggage storage until I could check in. ||This is a great location, right next to a Metro station, shops, bars and restaurants. The street has been pedestrianised and has created a very pleasant atmosphere. The former crossroads nearby have be turned into a lovely public square with plenty of seating etc. ||The room itself was good, although felt like a little maintenance was needed, The original tiles were a nice feature, but some were a bit loose and a few were missing from the shower cubicle floor. Pretty much every coat/towel hangar was loose, as was the wash hand basin in the bathroom. The balcony was a nice feature, although some net curtains would have been nice, as there was very little privacy with the curtains open in the room. My main gripe was the lack of any kitchenette like a lot of Numa rooms have, not even any plates or utensils. I believe there was a kitchen area as well as some shared public spaces in the other building, but that felt very inconvenient. Also the clothes rail was pretty useless, as the fridge underneath it meant there was no room hang anything up. There was a little noise from adjacent rooms, but not enough to really bother me. It was nice to have air con, but was it barely needed with the balcony door open. The bed was fantastic, the mattress and pillows were very comfortable and the bedding was good quality. It seems the toiletries provided in the bathroom have changed since my last stay. It's nice they are still provided, but the hair conditioner had a strange cheesy smell.....||Overall, perhaps the least best of the four Numa properties I have stayed at, but I still enjoyed the stay, it was a great location for seeing all of Barcelona and I didn't find anywhere else that looked better at the price I paid.
