Pip, New Zealand

I loved street view and balkony of my room,cleaness,very nice staff (ALWAYS smiling),safe, and location was perfect.

Nmlss, Hungary

Breakfast was great. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Location was the best.

Sally, Australia

Helpful staff. Very central location. Complimentary Breakfast perfect for starting the day. Clean and comfortable room. Loads of local info given on arrival.

Natasha, United Kingdom

The hotel was in a very good location easy access to town, the breakfast was lovely too! The room was lovely, basic furniture but that was okay that’s all we needed while we stayed. All the staff were really friendly too.

Meggie, United Kingdom

The location was great, the room worked well enough. Breakfast was good enough also. The big draw of this location is definitely the really convenient location.

Marc, United States of America

Great place to stay staff were the friendliest of all the hotels we stay in Spain (no joke). Very helpful. Room was clean, quiet, and a reasonable size. Dont be put off by the one star rating for me it was top star. Highly recommend

Kevan, Australia

The staff were very kind and friendly. We chose not to stay past our one night. We did not feel safe in the location, except it was right off Las Ramblas , which is ideal for most. The room was small and i would consider this to be more of a hostel and or dorm room. Not suitable for mature or those wanting a little more of creature comforts. Very basic plain, cannot move around in room, no furniture. Value and style not for us.

Tracey, Canada

The hotel's own email guide and the book they give on arrival were both excellent and helpful, even though I've been to Barcelona many times before. I followed all 3 historic walks in the book guide (in one day!) and saw a much deeper history to the city than I have previously known. Highly recommended.

Very Good

The location is a bit noisy, bring earplugs. The staff was nice and helpful, but a big down was that the only person there when we arrived there around 21:00 helped just arrived guests for literally 30mn while leaving 2 newly arrived sets of guests to wait without their key and access to their room. We had just travelled across the world and wanted nothing more than our room. Having to wait that long was kind of unacceptable and I've never seen this in 100+ hotels I've stayed at. The front desk person should have told those people to wait for help with concierge like questions while giving keys to the people waiting to check in.
The location was great, the room worked well enough. Breakfast was good enough also. The big draw of this location is definitely the really convenient location.

The bed was hard and lumpy. The staff tried a mattress topper (twice) and that improved things, but it still wasn't great. The otherwise very nice gentleman on reception said "What do you expect from a one star hotel!" That was not what I expected to hear, as the hotel wasn't cheap.

The bed and bed covers are not super comfortable, but that wouldn't stop me from staying again. The breakfast is not good for vegans or gluten-free diets, but there is so much great food around nearby, I recommend going out for breakfast anyway.

Bed a little hard but that's a personal preference
Set in a quiet little side street off La Rambla easy walking distance to most things including the beach. Liceu metro station a few minutes away which made for easy access to Park Guell. Breakfast was a good variety for a 1 star hotel. Great to have access to tea and coffee throughout the day. Friendly helpful staff who went out of their way to phone our rental car company to check pick up arrangements for us. Don't miss exploring the back alley ways of Gothic and Jewish quarters...the walking booklet the hotel will give you is excellent!
