Weird and unsettling experience

Because of a flight delay, we checked in at 2am. The hotel door was locked and it was not at all clear which doorbell we had to push (there are several businesses in the building, including an unrelated hostel). We apparently got it right because the door eventually buzzed for 1/2 second - not long enough for us to know to try it. It took 2 more times before we finally got in. At the 2nd floor (where reception is) it felt like we were getting off in an industrial building, but a padded door popped open on the right, letting us into a carpeted area that reminded me of movie depictions of early 20th century brothels. After checking in, we checked out the "24-hour buffet" which was not much more than some buckets of canned fruit. To get to our room, we had to be buzzed out back to the elevator, then buzzed in again to our floor. Everything was being monitored from the desk by camera. To leave the floor, we had to pick up a phone by the door. It was very weird. The room itself was reasonably comfortable except that there were very few electrical outlets and every single one of them was damaned (ground pins bent up so that a plug could not be seated properly). Charging our phones was hard. I'm glad our stay was only for one night. Location was good except it is best to take a taxi to the nearby square and walk, as driving right to the door is a very long way around to get on a limited-access street.

The staff were great, friendly and helpful. The website was a little misleading however. The bar was two containers of wine in the fridge and one tap of beer. Laundry service was available, however, the laundromat was four blocks down the street. For the price, there better places we could have stayed for about the same price.

Hotel on La Ramblas

Unfortunately, I was rather disappointed with our stay. However, I must say first off that the staff was amazing. The lady at reception was so attentive to us, and remembered us every time we walked past. The hotel itself disappointed me. The photos are misleading. It is hard to get to the reception, the whole hotel is a maze of narrow halls and staircases, and just felt so old. Our room was decent and clean. The hotel advertised that they are all-inclusive with buffet all day. Technically, this is true. But it’s really only food at breakfast, and then snacks like chips and fruit left out for the rest of the day. For the price, I really should have chosen another hotel in the area with a rooftop sitting area with hot tub, there were really no amenities here to impress.
