    Too much noise from the street. Difficult to sleep. I should expected since I chose a hotel at La Rambla

    The hotel was close to La Rambla, the metro, tourst attractions. Perfect.

    We were in the room next to reception and it was very noisy during the evening / night because of people coming and going at reception.

    Fantastic location!

    In my opinion the room I stayed in is too small. I mean, it's ok for one night but too small for the price.

    The staff is very kind and helpful. The rooms are clean, and the location is just perfect.

    Small rooms can be a bit of a problem for families. Also, climbing 1 flight of stairs to the lobby is quite tiring if you have luggage and a stroller.

    The accommodation was good. The staff is super. The location is great.

    Quite noizy during the night. We ran out of handwash but it was never refilled (we did not ask for a refill tbh, however they did not check). Our bathroom was provided only with a fixed cealing-mount shower head, so in case you are a woman with long hair and you do not want to make them wet every time you take a shower, you will definitely need a shower cap. The third day we asked our towels to be renewed but they did not do so (maybe because we had to leave the next day - but the towels were overused and should have been replaced).

    The location was great the metro station is literally 10m away, the stuff was welcoming and kind, the breakfast more than sufficient and the rooms convenient enough for two people. They also provided us with a 10% discount coupon (plus welcome drink) for the resto downstairs which btw was really good and vfm.

    Room was really very very small... hardly any free space. You can jump right into the bathroom from the bed. Not all rooms are same so better to take into account the room size before booking.

    Location, location, location! The best part. Right in fronb of the Liceu Metro statio on the "La Ramblas" which connects the entire city very well. Wonderful view from the balcony! Very clean property. Super friendly and supportive staff. My special mention to Mr. Evan!:) Best for solo backpackers or weekend trips as there's no place to keep luggage although they have cleverly utilised one corner space by creating a cabinet kind of thing. Not all rooms are same so better to take into account the room size before booking. Overall the property is recommended to go for!

    Good location, next to metro station Liceu, easy to access by foot Pl. de Catalunya, a 20 min walk to the Acquarium, 20 min walk to the Zoo. Nice view to the Ramblas while having a good breakfast. Small room but extremly good organized with all you need.

    It would be great to have a small kettle in the room. During the weekend it was a little bit noisy, but I was aware of it.

    Hotel is situated in the middle of the La Rambla. Metro station Liceu is just in front of it. Hotel is surrounded by shops and restaurants. The room was big enough. Breakfast was included and tasty. The staff was nice and helpful.

    When you come to Barcelona, you won't be spending much time in the room anyway, so the hostel stands out with its location and cleanliness despite the room sizes. The size of our room was sufficient, they created enough space with a compact design. We had read that the hostel's location was good, but we didn't expect it to be this amazing. We stayed for 4 nights and left very satisfied. I recommend it.

    Honestly the first impression is a bit scary and I think the price could be a bit lower for what is offered. The beds were OK but I wouldn't want to stay and sleep on them all week.My sleep wasn't disturbed but I can imagine if the hotel is full you can be bothered by noise from neighbours or the hallway.

    The receptionists were very nice ladies. I was a bit afraid to leave my luggage before check-in but it is stored locked away, 100% secure. Everyone was nice and polite, the staff at breakfast and cleaning staff as well. Breakfast was not super rich but it was definitely enough. I would have appreciated some fresh vegetables myself. The room was small but very smartly designed. You have everything you might need and everything was clean! I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn't bothered by any noise from the street. The location is super convenient!

    Quite noisy area during the night, we had window to La Rambla which is too noisy during the night due to night parties on the street... and during the day due to car traffic jams and lot of tourists outside...

    Very good location on La Rambla - walking distance to city center and to metro station - very convenient! Very small room but it is possible to use common room downstairs - canteen with coffee and tea between - 2pm - 11.59 pm.

    Rooms are tiny and can be loud, as both the door and the walls are not sound proof. I could also hear some noise coming from the Rambla late at night.

    Location, next to the Rambla and a metro station, and breakfast were good, especially for a short business trip. The personnel was also very friendly and helpful during my stay at the hotel.

    The room was a little tighter then a colleague but nothing to stop me from using it on a future visit.

    Friendly staff welcomed us and had our keys at hand when we came and went. Built in ceiling music was a nice touch. Good amount of lighting within the room. The location of Marenostrum is great for the underground although you do feel the undertones sometimes but nothing you would notice to interrupt you selling.

    Noisy during the night - not from the street, which we had expected with our room overlooking Las Ramblas - but from our neighbours! Very thin walls.

    Staff were great, hotel was exactly as expected - basic but good location and had everything we needed.

    Metro is very lout and is heard from the room. Breakfasts everyday the same. Not nice shell from air condition. The room is only a bit bigger than a double bed. The pictures on booking.com in my opinion don't show the reality.

    Good localization on La Rambla street, very nice and helpful personel

    As the room and bathroom size are small (which I did not expect) a bit of facility of odour neutralising spray for thebathroom would be helpful. A coffer making facility in the room would be fantastic.

    Location is fantastic. Breakfast was good. Staff at reception quite helpful. The biggest surprise was the Christmas present - won our hearts! It was a very sweet gesture.

    Or room, a triple, was right behind the registration desk. Very noisy with people checking in and out, could hear phone ringing. Beds were fair. No elevator - 12 stairs up to lobby, difficult for an elderly person.

    Breakfast included was very nice. On a side street adjacent to Las Ramblas, many shops and restaurants, plus La Boqueria close by.
