LeMar by Aspasios

This small collection of rooms is in an excellent location, within walkable distance to many favorite Barcelona sites. There are excellent restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores close by. The rooms are tiny, but clean, comfortable, and quiet. The daily maid service was irregular: once no clean towels were left, another time no coffee pods, and no sugar another. The lift is old fashioned and tiny. We preferred to carry our suitcases up and down the one flight of stairs.

In the heart of Barcelona we were a bit confused in the beginning. The rooms are on one floor which as it seemed to be were offices in the younger days. Rooms quite espacious and clean. Perfect for a stopover before going on a bigger trip. Lots of restaurants in its surroundings and sagrada familia just a 30 minute walk away

I originally booked via Agoda.com for a different hotel and apparently there was a “glitch” on the end of Agoda. My reservation was lost and I was rebooked to stay at a different hotel at, LeMar by Aspasios. This alternate hotel, LeMar by Aspasios is absolutely terrible. It looks like a hostel. In fact I am fairly certain there are many hostels out there much better than LeMar by Aspasios. It’s a dirty place and it smells like mold and mildew. I’m not sure how/why this hotel could possibly get a high rating on Agoda.com. This hotel is gross. There are 8 rooms in this “hotel” which are all located on the same floor. The check in is right outside the door of our room. It is noisy and loud since the window faces a main intersection. When the neighboring room flushes their toilet, u can hear it. Ha ha ha. Nauseating. You can hear people walking around outside of the room which is pretty much one big central lobby for the 8 rooms which share the floor. A bit scary and a bit creepy. Overall this hotel is no where resembling what was advertised. I will pay for the one night and I plan on checking out in the morning. Again, I have no clue how LeMar by Aspasios could be getting such high ratings. This place is not even at a level of a 2 star establishment. I expect my credit for the unused rooms at Aspasio to be refunded to me. Will update the review later to indicate if I have been provided the refund of the unused nights or not. I have been a loyal customer of Agoda for quite some time. I expect Agoda to do the right thing. Do yourself a favor, if you’re reading this and you think I’m joking, go head and book yourself to stay at LeMar by Aspasios and then you can write your own review.

We had a 4 night perfect stay. Location was good. Nearby good restaurants and metrostations. Service hotel was very good. Communication via mail and face to face was ok. Room was space enough and clean. Entrance with codes works perfect for us.
