I experienced the same poor service and quality as other reviewers - the rooms lack style and basic amenities, like double glazed windows to block out the street noise in the "superior" rooms, there are no in-room safes or coffee/tea service, the towels have seen better days and my room had a corner of the bathroom done up in silver...

Super location but this hotel does not quite cut it. It wants to be a boutique hotel and the design does suggest it is, but it falls short in many respects. Services are at best mediocre; staff is nice/pleasant but it is run in a rather disorganised way which left me waiting at the reception (desk) for minutes .....before I... More

Pro's: - location - reception with cava and appetizers - bed Con's: - small rooms - too expensive for what you get - bathroom is a 'wet room', not convenient, water everywhere - did not like the atmosphere of the room, although I love modern hotels the room we had had a basement feel, dark, ... not a bad choice,...

During a business trip, I stayed in this hotel for just two days and it was really an awesome experience. I loved every bit of my stay. Décor of the building is unique and rooms are well appointed. All the luxurious amenities needed for a great stay were there. The hospitality of all staff goes beyond description. They all are... More

Received a warm welcome with cold cava on our arrival for a 3 night stay, the rooms were clean and modern, comfy bed, daily room service. The free drinks and nibbles in the afternoon, situated in the chilled out, funky hotel bar / lobby is a lovely touch. The reception was closed after c.18:00hrs so access was via a side... More

It's a great hotel for a long weekend. It has a modern feel. the rooms are on the small side but practical and yes the ceilings are concrete but that can (depending on your taste) complement to the modern feel and styling. It's in the center of the city, free parking about 10 minutes walk, some great shops and restaurants... More

I've been spending few months at this hotel and it took couple of months for the manager and the team to remember me... The first impression is good, nice hotel, nice cosy sitting area with free drinks and tapas in the evening. Be careful the hotel closed a 8/8.30pm and afterward, you have to either go out or to your... More

The first impression of the Banks is good: the place looks new, trendy, nice location and they sometimes welcome you with a glass of cava. The list of cons have influenced my stay; Must be the only hotel where you have to pay on arrival. The breakfast at 17,50 euro a person which is outrageous for a fixed plate of... More

Stayed in one of the suites at the Banks hotel the weekend before Christmas. Although reviews for the normal rooms tend to be disappointing, the suites at this hotel are definitely worth it. The suites are corner rooms with a lot of windows and a big bed, plus a seating area and a gas-fireplace - very cosy. The bathroom is... More
