train stationlimited privacyuncomfortable bed
The hotel is near the Llacuna train station. It is four stops to Orquinaona. This is a few steps to Plaza Catalunya.
The room was small. The glass between the restroom and the room was basically 'see through'. This offered NO privacy. The bed was very hard. It reminded me of sleeping on the floor. The price was not worth it. I was disappointed.

the sofa bed was not very comfortable, and space was limited. i would have preferred a better solution for hanging coats, such as additional hooks.

okay locationsmall roomfrosted glass
The location was okay. I could walk to a few places, convenient
The room was quite small, like they were trying to save every possible centimeter. and, oh boy, the frosted glass between the restroom and the room? talk about a lack of privacy! the air conditioning was a bit of a joke. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it decided to take a vacation.

The breakfast was amazing and provided a great start to the day (I especially liked the coffee machine).
The room was quite small. The air conditioning was also unreliable, I had some hot nights. The bed was very uncomfortable. It seemed like sleeping on the floor.
