    No issues.

    The location is perfect. Short walks to all the main sights. Friendly staff and a very comfortable, clean room. An added bonus was the rooftop terrace! Just step out the door and a ride to the top in the elevator gives you an oasis amid plants and views of the city. Lots of chairs and lounges. We would rest up there for a couple hours at the end of the day before heading out for dinner.

    - I would say that bed is quite small for two people :( - Lighting in the bathroom is a bit poor, but it is an advantage when you are waking up to use bathroom in the night ;)) - Sound insulation is not of high level, but it is understandable, as this is like large apartment with small rooms inside and each room is rented for different guests. You never know, who will get up earlier, who will behave louder and etc. - Lack of sink in common kitchen might be uncomfortable for someone

    - Very friendly stuff, who will kindly answer all your questions and will stay in touch when necessary - Nice location with cafes and shops nearby - Clean room with all necessary supplies and bath accessories (even toothbrush). Cleaning was done everyday. - Common kitchen with water, coffee, tea and small snacks available - Terrace on the 4th floor to spend you free time (for example during breakfast)

    The bed wasn't super comfortable, but it was fine, and we really appreciated the shared kitchenette and the tea, water, etc. that was available.

    The place is in a great location, across from the train station and right next to a beautiful park with many things to see. The area has lovely buildings, and we saw a great band live when we went out to dinner just a minute's walk away!

    Excellent location, near train and bus stations. Beautiful Ciudadela Park behind the corner. A lot of restaurants around the pension. Clean bathroom and fresh towels. Very good looking accomodation, spacious room with comfortable beds, clean and fresh bedding. The common kitchen was nice as well, with coffe machine, tea, water and small snaks and all necessary cutlery, microwave and fridge. Lovely sunny roof terrace, the nicest with coffe in the morning. Building with elavator. Nice and helpful service. The whole staying was perfect. Access to the guesthouse and rooms using a code at any time. You can store your luggage if the room is not ready or after you leave. It was perfect staying for our family.

    Great location, walk distance to city center and close to metro station. The room is comfortable although it’s not that big. It’s worth the price. There is refrigerator, Microwave and some bread in the shared common area of the house, where you can store some food and enjoy a simple breakfast if you want. Very friendly staff and quick response to all the queries. Good place to stay in Barcelona.

    The shower door doesn’t seal well which causes the floor in the bathroom to get quite wet in the bathroom. If I was staying longer, I would have liked the option of breakfast and a receptionist available during the day -however, they do leave water and some small muffins for all guests in the main room which is nice, and there is an contact number to reach staff, but for emergencies only.

    Staff who check us in kept in contact with us to ensure the room would be ready for us at the earlier time that was requested. She was very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom is nice and the pictures present an accurate representation of the room you will be staying in -unlike a lot of other hotels I stayed at

    I would’ve preferred to have my own kettle and utensils in the room rather in a shared space. But that’s not a big deal and just me being an introvert and wanting to avoid people. Bed was a bit too soft for me and had a bit of back pain from it.

    Very central location. Right next to the train station and El Born neighborhood so lots of restaurants and bars nearby. My room had it own little balcony as well which I really appreciated.

    Nothing. Even if located in a quite of a traffic area, the room was well isolated with double glazed windows. Maybe a slightly bigger table if someone wants to work with the laptop in the room.

    Impeccable cleaning and many useful comforts provided, hot drinks, filtered water, pastry, coffee and teas. Chance to cook in. Highly recommended for those willing to discover one of the best area of Barcelona: Ciudadela y el born

    As before, nothing the property did wrong but some of the fellow guests were not as considerate as we felt we were. There was some shouting and door banging in the early hours on a couple of nights and we had some our provisions taken from the fridge and used.

    Pension Cuidadela is a wonderful place to stay. This was our second visit and it was as good as the first. The rooms are large and welcoming with lovely ensuite bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms have use of a small kitchen which is well equipped and very helpful. The value for money is amazing. The location is perfect for exploring the city. We'll be coming back again.

    The walls are paper thin and for both nights, I had noisy people next door who would be talking until 3am!! 😭😭😭 It’s not the property’s fault though. Wifi was intermittent but no problem.

    It exceeded my expectations!! Franco station is literally opposite. You have a kitchen and dining area where there is a fridge, kettle with free supplies of herbal teas + tea, coffee, sugar, milk and water at your disposal and they even give you free muffins!! Wonderful! The room was spacious, bed was super comfy and the balcony was a perk!! Had no problem having the outside private bathroom - was always clean (as was the room and areas - cleaner cleans every day) and the water was perfect for the shower! Loved the extra blanket and the air conditioning /heater to keep me warm at night. Staff were exceptional!! Muchas gracias!!!

    Simply everything is perfect. Room, cleanliness, staff ready to help. Location is great. Easy to reach from airport by train. Though on a big bulevard, it is not loud at all (slept with open windows). Supermarket in 1 minute. Bars restaurants all around. You may walk to almost any point of interest. You may leave your luggage after check out. We felt very safe. Very pleased with kitchen facilities offered, and thankful for coffee, tea and muffins which were always available. Terrace on the roof is beautiful (for their guests only). For sincere recomendation, and would gladly repeat the experience
