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.
