Literally the BEST location in Barcelona - el born is the coolest neighbourhood and everything within the city is a walkable distance away. Really cool vibes and super friendly staff who will happily give you advice on where to eat and go out in the evenings. Would absolutely stay again.

The staff were lovely and helpful right from the start. First by letting us drop our bags off early so we could roam before time for check in and Giving us tips and info on good places to eat, shops etc. The hotel was in the lovely El Born district right near the Arc de Triomph -and is accessible for exploring Barcelona. Beds were really really comfy and massive!!! The common area was great and you can help yourself to hot drinks or bottled water when ever you liked.

The bed was super comfy and the pillows are a dream! We loved our room! It's such a quirky hotel that made our stay in Barcelona even better! The location is excellent, right in the middle of everything! The staff are lovely and very helpful with pointing out local places and the quickest route to places! We would definitely return here

The rooms are small but have wonderfully high corniced ceilings. Mine had two floor to ceiling windows overlooking a courtyard. The facilities are basic but the bed is huge and comfy. Everything works perfectly and was just what I wanted for a short stay. The location is great and we walked everywhere from the hotel. The staff are super-friendly. I'll definitely go again.

Excellent stay at this hotel, staff were so friendly and helpful. Rooms were a good size, very clean and tidy and beds were super comfy. Perfect location for all the beautiful sites and shops of the el born and gothic quarter, couldn't fault anything! Definitely recommend.

Fantastic location within El Born which was ideally placed outside of the tourist hotspots but close enough for a walk to get to. El Born was a great hub of finer restaurants and bars. The hotel itself was really nice, the staff were super helpful, the little things like the "Help Yourself" area was a bonus that you do not see at other "higher" classed hotels.
