Jb Relais Luxury

Pros: My husband and I stayed at JB Relais Luxury for one week in January 2025 (Room 304) and again for another week in February 2025 (Room 303) – the two largest rooms here. This lodging has an excellent location – close to bus/tram stops, the staff tries very hard to please their clientele, the rooms are very clean, virtually no street noise, with high ceilings, each had a huge shower, and free water bottles and coffee pods for the Nespresso machine were most welcome. Having a great espresso bar (Bar del Cappuccino – serving cappuccinos, pastries, sandwiches, etc.) and a Tigre grocery store nearby were big plusses also. The staff at JB Relais made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible! Cons: The room freshener smell is overpowering, especially in the reception area – please reduce its use here. The two chairs in each room are too low to use the shelf mounted on the wall (where they had the coffee/tea service, which we moved and used the shelf for our laptop computer). Management did bring “regular” chairs to each room after we requested them. Both beds and the pillows were hard. The lighting is good over the bed, but terrible over the shelf. During our second stay, they kindly placed a modern, LED, floor lamp over the shelf. There were no folding luggage racks in the rooms – until we asked during our second stay, and they brought two to our room (they should be in each room when guests arrive). There were no drawers in which to put clothes. The built-in closet’s clothing bar is quite high off the ground – I could not reach it to hang up my clothes. Also, the two “hooks” in the bathroom were high on the wall (I could not reach the higher one). There were no instructions on how to use the coffee maker or TV (and no list of channels as well). Although the shower was large, the lighting was very dim (colored LED strips), the floor was slippery (we put a small towel down when taking showers), and there were no safety bars to hold on to.
