Pla del Panadés Vacations from $517

Honest review: very well located, cool lobby space, though no bar for drinks, just water and tea, there is plenty of food and drinking options around. As per the room, I got the basic Expedia price and they usually place you at the rooms in the back or 1st floors or in this case it was the 1st floor room facing the ventilation shaft :/ (trust me). The room looks cool but also outdated, and smelled like they were covering up a dirty room with a sort of nice smell but the room was not as well cleaned and the restroom as well, they need to do a better job cleaning the rooms and updating them they are kinda old by today’s standards . Overall they need to work on cleanliness, updating, a clean space is not about the smell but about all that is around and you can smell it.

This is a 3 to 3½-star hotel, not a 4-star by any stretch. The rooms are a mishmash—some are clean and well-maintained, while others are rundown, particularly noticeable in the bathrooms, furniture, and carpets. There is no room service, bar, or other amenities typically found in a four-star hotel. The staff are not particularly customer-oriented, especially when comparing the service and overall experience to well-known four-star hotels like the Hilton Barcelona or Renaissance Barcelona. However, it is a fair hotel for what you are paying. Clearly needs capital investment to bring it to a proper four star level.

We loved our room and plan on visiting again the next we are in Barcelona.

The hotel is scrupulously maintained and the staff were excellent. The room and bed were very small for two people. On this trip we were passing through Barcelona and so only staying one night - I wouldn’t have wanted to have had such a small room for a longer visit.
