**More like a hostel than a hotel — misleading expectations**
I booked Blue Barcelona through Hotels.com because it was listed as a hotel. Unfortunately, the accommodations felt much more like a hostel. My floor had only one small bathroom shared among at least three occupied rooms, and my room opened directly onto the communal breakfast area. There was virtually no privacy, and I could hear conversations and activity outside my door.
I arrived one day before my parents and, after spending one night here, decided the accommodations were not appropriate for our family trip. I ended up booking another hotel at an additional expense rather than having my parents stay here.
I would not have booked this property had the shared facilities and layout been made clear beforehand. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
