Chiying, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location with great transport links
Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a good location with a metro station directly outside and a 10 minute walk from Las Ramblas and the port. Rooms were a little dated but had everything needed for the stay including an iron. The view from the rooftop is stunning, especially at sunset. Don’t be fooled by the size of the pool though it is quite small, we didn’t use it but would be OK to cool off. Would definitely return and have recommended to others since our return.

Clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff, perfect location. Rooms facing the street tend to be noisy at night, ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper.
