Upon arrival we questioned the amount charged which was double. The front desk man was pleasant but the lady who worked that evening was very rude, we had a balcony room, which we booked, but the noise was awful! Our room was across from the elevator also very loud and the walls were paper thin, the room was the size of a small garage, and so much construction going on, absolutely terrible. And we paid $400 for the first night. The front desk lady said there was a convention going on and that was the going rate, I still question that answer. But I went down to the front desk in the morning and a very pleasant lady named Andrea moved us a much better room far from the noise. There is no hotel bar, no air conditioning and the area is sketchy. Will never stay here again. Do your research when staying in Barcelona.
