Barceló Sants

8/10 Good
"Excellent location since it is at the train station and bus station is next door. The room was good, just a little too tight for three people. A/C worked great! What we didn't like was that the room did not have any privacy - funny that there was a mirror cut out and around it was glass. Maybe it was just our room, but it was just not designed well. No sign was available for the door, so matter what the cleaning crew has to go in the room to clean, so forget about sleeping little late. We had a pleasant stay though."
