    I am often here and very love this little hotel! Sleep is perfect - pillow pillows of excellent quality! The living room has a living room with coffee machine, tea and cookies!!! The shared living room also has a refrigerator and microwave. And most importantly - in the Center of Barcelona and Windows on the pedestrian area, where many people, shops, restaurants, etc.! I'll always stay here when I'm in Barcelona. Thank you very much!!! ❤️

    It is located around 30 mins walk to the city centre but the area we had to walk through to get there felt a little bit unsafe.

    The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, helpful and reliable. I loved that they had a coffee and tea stand in the common area. The room was very clean and comfortable with a private bathroom.

    Our bathroom was very small only one person at a time and even a small person had problems getting into the shower or trying to retrieve the soap if it should fall in the shower without opening the shower doors to bend over. There was a burned out lightbulb beside the bed that never was replaced when told on our first day. The lower shelf in the closet was broken and wasn’t able to hold anything on it. When we walked out to the street, we were met with homeless people sleeping next to the door.

    Cleanliness of our room and all of the facility.

    Great value, very safe and clean. Very friendly staff. It’s like living in a home so yes you can hear through the walls but that’s to be expected! I was very comfortable and really appreciate the air conditioning and the refrigerator/kitchen access. Very walkable location!

    The host, they were amazing. If you're looking for budget, stay with a good host and a good location and if the room space is decently fine, this is the best place ever.

    Air con is very weak and despite being adjusted to the lowest temp possible (16C) it still couldn’t cool down even a tiny room, which remained warm and sticky the whole time.

    Excellent central location; complimentary tea in communal area (with an amazing selection of teabags including herbal infusions).

    Ok, so I am disabled and stairs are not my friend. There is a big flight of slippery steps to get up there. In both rooms we had (2 nights before a cruise and 1 night after) there are weird steps in the bathrooms and shower. My husband (not disabled and early 40’s) said it was pretty dangerous for anyone much less me. It was a very strange set up.

    The location was great for exploring Barcelona! It was worth the other stuff just for that!

    There was too much noise from the road at night hard to sleep. There was chemical smell in the closet couldn't use it for fear of smelly clothes. Space was too tight.

    It's proximity to metro. Nice mattress, absolutely great shower pressure. Cleanliness.

    Nothing.

    A very convenient location in a lovely neighbourhood with easy metro access to the airport and key tourist spots. The hotel borders the old city filled with pintxo bars and restaurants. It’s nice to stroll around the areas. Very good value for money considering how expensive Barcelona accommodation is. The two receptionists we engaged with have both been very kind and helpful especially as we do not speak Spanish. Even though the room and bathroom were small, they were practically laid out so that there was sufficient space for luggages.
