1. Our reservation via Active Hotels did not reach the reception desk of the H10 Itaca hotel in Barcelona, though it was done well in advance. I do not know which institution is “guilty” - Active Hotels or H10 staff. Fortunately this problem was solved by the smart guy at the reception, but the fact itself is disappointing (what if there were no free rooms).
2. Room was very small and noisy, overlooking the main street. Of course, in principle one could close the window, and to switch on the ventilation by AC. Unfortunately the noise of the buzzing AC was on the same level as that of the noisy street.
3. The room service was careless. One day we had to ask for the shampoo, etc.
4. There are no carpeting on the floors. It is itself uncomfortable, but the main problem was that the staff usually started cleaning the neighboring rooms very early (even at about 7), loudly sliding the beds, and producing a lot of noise that could be heard in our room.
5. The breakfast was OK,......

Friendly and clean hotel, pleasant staff and reasonably priced, a couple of computers to let you check your e-mails which is useful. However there are some negative points: The location is not ideal as the hotel is not within walking distance of tourist areas and overlooking a noisy street; the rooms are small and the air-con is poor; the breakfast buffet is rather less opulent than you would expect from a 4-star hotel and the gym and roof-top jacuzzi are uninviting. I suppose it proves the point that you get what you pay for.

I would not regard the H10 Itaca to be a 4-star hotel to international standards. Rooms and beds are small. Rooms range from 9 to 12 square metres. The smaller rooms do not even leave any space for a suitcase, as there is just enough space to walk around the bed and have no comfort chair or anything like it. The larger rooms (12 sq. m) do have a comfort chair and space to stow luggage. Double bed is just 1.50 x 1.90 m. Too short for many people. Sheets in stead of duvet. Airco really insufficient. Elevators extremely small , warm and clautrofobic. Breakfast buffet is rather fine and open until 11am in the summer season. Location is ok, but do not expect to be in the city center or near any restaurants.

We stayed in this hotel last summer and we had a wonderful time. The hotel is in a very centric area, very close to the subway and the train stations. The service was perfect and the room was beautiful, with a big window. The furniture was modern and with great taste, and the best part is that the price was pretty good. Breakfast was good, and with plenty of things to choose from. People at the front desk were helpful and very kind with us. I would recommend it 100 percent.
