Reception was fantastic - helped change me to a much better room when something was slightly wrong with mine. It’s a little expensive for how basic the amenities are but clean and great location; recommend.

Amal Germany

Everything was great. Location, staff, cleanliness.

Jose United States of America

Price and location is the best. 7 minutes walk to Diagonal metro station and from there you can pick metro throughout any location in Barcelona with 2,3,5 days pass from metro station.

Nitesh India

My favorite part was the large co-working lounge. There were many places to set up my computer and get some work done. The hanging paper lanterns in the dining room give the property a very stylish touch. The aesthetics throughout the property are hip and trendy. The staff are also amazing and helpful! You can see the entire city skyline from the rooftop terrace, including La Sagrada Familia cathedral in the distance. The location of the property is great. It's walking distance from Park Güell, Casa Batlló, and many other attractions. Or take the metro to go to the beach, the Gothic Quarter, etc.

Veronica United States of America

I loved the overall Look and feel of the hotel. The rooms were quite comfortable!

Karen United States of America

It’s really good value for money, awesome location, great facilities, very comfortable overall.

Francisco Argentina

Great location in the middle of Barcelona, with multiple options to travel fast to another part of the city. The room was basic but exactly what you need for a nice stay in a significant city.

Myrthe Netherlands

location, cleanliness, bathrooms and hairdryer inside female dorm, comfy bed, helpful staff, rooftop

Great location, clean rooms and common areas. Overall a good experience.
