Hotel Ainb Eixample-Miro Apartments (Barcelona, Spain)

The location of this hotel is near eveyrthing you might want or need. There are several public transportation options and a short walk will bring you to many museums, restaurants, and even a lovely park.

The staff here really makes all the difference. They are both friendly and also helpful. They are very willing to accommodate special requests. Their efficiency is nice, especially with the express checking in and out.

The rooms are spacious and very functional, especially for those travelling with a companion or a family. The two bedrooms give space to spread out, as does the separate dining room. The kitchen is completely functional for all meals, with cooking and serving ware provided.

This hotel isn't brand new and modern, but a bit older and showing its age. Some features are broken, chipped, cracked, or stained. There is a cigarette smell, even in rooms labelled as "nonsmoking". Some balconies are small, too small to really relax and stretch out

You'll be able to hear the problem right away. The noisy neighbours will feel like they're in the same room and footsteps from upstairs will get on your nerves unless you can drown it out with your own TV. That, coupled with the busy city street noise, will make the rooms feel loud, instead of a peaceful respite.

The Wi-Fi service here might be free, but it's still not much of a bargain. The service is slow and unstable and you'll often be kicked off, dropped off, or blocked altogether.
