Review Prisma Hotel, Barcelona
Page Content
 |
The hotel has a plain and modern exterior. The lobby area has cream marble floors and squidgy black leather sofas in the corner. A small telephone area sits behind the front desk behind a sheet of glass providing privacy. One wall is lined with stylish black and white photos with a weathered sea theme. A narrow marble staircase leads to a second seating area housing cream leather swivel chairs. Behind this, there is a small television room with about 6 seats.
The hotel is likely to appeal to travellers with a specific reason to be in the Les Corts area. Although the area has its own local Spanish charm, it has little by way of tourist attractions.
