The Mirror Barcelona - Adults Only

Victoria M10 months ago

This hotel failed to deliver and was definitely not what you would expect from a 4* hotel. The reception is lovely and light and the staff were helpful.|We then went to our room. The corridor is like something from a space film with its sliding doors and rather reminded me of the hospital basement where I work.|As we entered the room, the first thing that we noticed was the musty smell. The decor was all white and as expected there were floor to ceiling mirrors. The faux leather was ripped, scratched and very tatty.|The water in the sink did not run cold.|The room was superficially clean; however, there were pockets of dust around the bed and the TV remote was filthy.|The air conditioning was temperamental and didn’t work overnight. We went from fridge to oven quite quickly!|Oddly there is a TV in the toilet - was certainly not going to touch that remote!!|We checked out the ‘pool’. It was tiny - more like a plunge pool. You certainly couldn’t swim in it and its depth was only waist high. The water was an ominous murky green colour too. The surrounding Perspex was cracked and again on need of TLC.|The hotel’s location was ok. There are some lovely restaurants just a couple of streets away and a gentle 30 minute walk sees you in the heart of the hustle and bustle.|I wouldn’t go back to this hotel. It needs a thorough make-over. Not what you would expect for the price paid.|
