Positive Reviews
positive:
Good location for public transport
While guests weren't 100 % happy with the location, with some saying it was too far from the sights, most did appreciate that it was close to both the main bus station and a metro station, from where they could travel to most tourist spots in the city.
positive:
Fantastic rooftop pool and terrace
The rooftop pool and terrace were by far the features that guests most appreciated about Residencia Onix Barcelona. It seems that it was especially popular at around sunset, when guests would head up there for a drink and a chance to witness the fading of the light.
positive:
Rooms very spacious
Going by the reviews, it was very clear that many guests were pleasantly surprised by the size of their room. They felt that it was more than large enough for the number of people booked into the room.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Very noisy environment
This was by far the most common, and most serious, complaint. Many guests found that they experienced both noise from the streets below, with cars zooming by on the busy street, as well as from revellers inside the building itself. Guests speak of loud music until the early hours, slamming doors and so on.
negative:
Kitchens not really fully-equipped
A couple of guests mentioned that the kitchens really weren't well-equipped. They felt they could only prepare the most basic of meals.
negative:
Rooms a bit too dark
Curiously, several guests commented that their room was simply too dark. It seems that the hotel may use low watt bulbs that do not properly illuminate the rooms. Guests say that they could not properly read with the light provided.
