Hotel 3K Barcelona

The location is very good. It’s close to a metro station and you can also walk to the Eduardo VII park. There are several restaurants, bakeries and supermarkets nearby. So you can get brunch or big bottles of drinking water easily. The staff at the lobby speaks good English and are very patient and helpful. Air conditioning is good. Room is spacious and cleaned everyday. No weird smell in the room considering how old it appears. The view is nice. The bed is comfortable.

The facility is outdated. No hot water kettle in the room so I couldn’t make tea. The shower gel and shampoo are basic. No power outlet next to the bed to charge phones and computers. I had to unplug a bed lamp to charge my phone. The seats’ fabric cover in the room looks dirty. There was a big round table in our room to lay down our stuff. To use the safe you need to pay 2€ everyday. The gym is on the top floor. It has only cardio machines and a few light dumbbells, a very light barbell and some sports mats. No way to do any weight training. When I used it the water dispenser is empty. All the running water in the room has separate hot and cold water knobs and the mixed water come out of one tap. It is difficult to temporally shut the water and get back to the same temperature, especially with soap on your hands.

On departure day the cleaner came into the room twice and woke me up despite the fact we weren’t checking out til 12pm. They also did this to my friends in three other rooms. Very annoying.
