Royal Monastery of Santes Creus

Our bed was enormous…a rarity at most hotels, so that was a plus. We didn’t have a view, per se. But, we did get light so we didn’t care. The temperature of the shower water could have been a bit warmer, but again, we didn’t care. We chose to eat breakfast one morning; we were impressed with the offerings. Our only “negative” was.,,there seemed to be an unpleasant smell in the hallway. Luckily that did not permeate into our room. For us, the location was wonderful!

I stayed at Bypillow seven nights. The best aspect of Bypillow is its central location in the Gotic neighborhood next to La Rambla and Liceu metro stop. 5 minutes to plaza real. Surrounded by shops, restaurants and many grocery stores. Also walking distance to museums and houses designed by Gaudi. The AC was excellent for the summer heat. The front door was guarded at night so I felt safe. The shower was modern and worked well. The room is small. The closet spaces are small don’t have doors. No security box. They have coffee maker and coffee. Refill tap water every day. Refrigerator present. This was a good deal and I highly recommend it for visiting Barcelona.

This was our third time staying at this hotel. It is clean with friendly staff and you can’t beat the location. Highly recommend!
