Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

spacious roomstorage optionnightclub musicnoise disturbance
The Barcelona style room was surprisingly spacious. Good storage options were included too. Reception staff helped a lot.
The nightclub's music blared until 5 am. Another hour of disturbance happened at closing time. We had no sleep at all on Saturday night. Sunday night was a little better as the noise stopped just after one am.

reasonable stay

helpful staffperfect locationabsent attendantkey-coded elevator
the staff were helpful and friendly. the location was perfect and a short walk to most places, also plenty of restaurants were nearby.
the front desk attendants were virtually always in the back room. the elevator is not key-coded, therefore there is virtually no security preventing anyone off the street from accessing the upstairs guest rooms.
