If the smell of roach spray wasn't enough to make our stomaches turn, combined with the sight of roaches crawling on the bed and the walls did make us leave after the first night.

This hotel was the worst place I've ever stayed in all of my travels in Europe. It was tiny, dirty and across from one of the busiest restaurants on the street. I was up until 4am listening to patrons scream across the street. The bathroom was fithy and I would never eat in the tiny restaurant they have on site. more

We had a room overlooking the street of Escudellers and it was fairly busy and loud till 5 am in the morning what with the multitude of Celtic supporters staying on the street. The chanting was very creative... more
