i liked friendly owners whobarely spoke English, which was annoying, but they were kind. It says it's 3 stars, but it's more of a hostel, or pansion.. it doesnt even have food or anything.. junkies hang around hotel so you can barely go out... |

The hotel was nicer than I had expected. For the value, it was decent and a better choice than a hostel. It was close to the main street of Barcelona and only minutes from the beach walking distance. I did not like the mattress, they were horrible and I could feel the springs. The TV had all Spanish channels. The street it was located on had many drug dealers and pick-pocketers standing on the corner at all times. This is normal for the city in all areas but I disliked seeing them everytime I came and went. |

Central location few steps from La Rambla,nice,comfortable and spacious room and bathroom.Sound proof windows allow very good rest in otherwise very noisy streets around(noise from people walking and shouting all night long,not traffic).We even got some nice chocolates as a present from the reception. Double bed a little bit too small. |

The hotel is five minutes away from the Rambla. Furthermore the nearest metro station (Line 3, Liceu) is five minutes away from the hotel. The internet is for free. The staff is kind. However, the staff speak only Spanish therefore it is hard to communicate. There is no bar in the hotel to order a tea in case of illness. |

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was cleaned evry day. As it was on a side steeet there was no traffic noise. No 24 hour reception. We had a card to enter the hotel and our room. We were warned by many people that our bags could be snatched and I worried that if this had happened we would not be able to gain access to our room. Maybe they could give an emergency phone number |

Really nice rooms, very close to the city center, free Wifi Internet, very clean and the staff has been very friendly. I stayed some time ago and it seems that they have changed the windows in the past you could hear the people in the street, now due to the new double windows the rooms is completely sealed, there is no any sound from outside. |

100 metres from La Rambla....ideal The noise level at night. Ear plugs are a good idea to aid sleep. |

Excellent location (not only because of closeness to Ramblas, but also because of the interesting Raval quarter), very friendly staff, free internet, really nice room. Sometimes a bit noisy, short and somewhat uncomfortable bed, quite expensive. |

The manager was very helpful and nice. It was a great central location. The front door was secure. The rooms were quite nice for the price, but no frills. There was a computer to check e-mail on one of the floors and wifi. |

A place to stay for 2 nights. The room is very small. The pictures are very deceiving. The walls are very thin. It's like sleeping outside in the middle of the street. |
