Pikakatsaus: A stunning art-filled palace that feels grand until you hear the plumbing rattle in the walls.
Arvioinut @Nadiia.sydorenko: I loved escaping the Barcelona heat at this rooftop. The pool is intimate but perfect for cooling off, and the terrace views are incredible at golden hour. The whole hotel feels like a sophisticated art museum that you can sleep in. Definitely a vibe for couples.

Siisteys ja kunnossapito
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, though some guests report dust in hard-to-reach corners of the duplexes.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless marble, but watch out for slow drains in some showers.
- Maintenance: The building is historic, so expect some scuffs on wood floors and the aforementioned noisy pipes.
- Linens & towels: High-quality Egyptian cotton sheets (fitting for the theme) and plush towels.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of their signature 'Maya' scent; rooms are generally fresh but old pipes can sometimes smell musty.
