During my stay at Catalonia Barcelona Plaza, I appreciated the stunning rooftop views and convenient location, though the noise level and maintenance issues detracted from my experience. The breakfast spread was impressive with plenty of options, yet I found the pool area a bit cramped and not very hygienic. Overall, it was a mixed experience that left room for improvement.
