I had a wonderful seven-night stay at Hotel Balmes. The hotel was sparkling clean, and the service from the staff was really good—they were polite and always ready to help. The breakfast was good, although the selection for vegans could be better. The bar had a cozy atmosphere, and I appreciated it closed early to avoid late-night noise. I do wish I had tried the dinner menu during my stay, but overall, I can't recommend this hotel enough.
