Honestly, it feels a bit like a hospital room or an office — very white and basic. It’s functional if you just need a place to crash and study. The kitchenette is super small (just a microwave and a hob), so forget about cooking a masterchef dinner. The biggest downside is the soundproofing — I can literally hear people talking in the hallway like they are in my room

About the building
General
The rooftop pool is the MVP here! Seriously, chilling there with a beer makes up for the small room. The gym is a joke though, half the machines are broken. Common areas are nice for meeting people, but the laundry is expensive and always busy. It’s basically a fancy dorm.
Cleanliness
Daily cleaning service is amazing
Security
24/7 reception, cameras everywhere
Yard
Rooftop terrace is the main hangout spot
About the district
General
Location is 10/10. You are right next to Arc de Triomf and Parc de la Ciutadella (great for picnics). The beach is a 15-min walk/skate. Estació del Nord bus station is next door, so easy for airport transfers. Super safe and lively area, Mercadona supermarket is close
