Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms are compact — Several guests note that rooms are small, suitable for sleeping rather than spending time in. This is typical for a 1-star hotel in a historic building.
  • Street noise from the square — Plaça Reial is lively, especially at night and during events. Some guests mention noise, though double glazing helps when windows are closed.
  • Limited facilities — There's no parking, no pets allowed, and no dedicated breakfast room mentioned in the amenities. Vending machines and a lift are available, but little else.
  • Check-in window closes at midnight — Reception is 24-hour, but the official check-in window is from 15:00 to 23:59. If you arrive after midnight, you may need to arrange late arrival separately.
