Great place to stay excellent location incredible staff and fresh coffee and breakfast every morning from the hotel. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a good experience at a good price and are willing to enjoy the city and accommodation within your budget. Easy check in and out staff were attentive and friendly in both Spanish and English, rooms were clean and bathrooms were too.

Room was not what I expected. Arrangement as if a train coach. Not comfortable and not spacious.
Thankfully, the staff
Personnel au top. Chambre propre et les lits confortable. Seul petit bémol, il n’y a pas de table ni de chaise dans les chambres.

Disliked: Amenities
Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, in unmittelbarer Nähe zur La Rambla. Egal, wo wir tagsüber unterwegs waren oder welche Sehenswürdigkeit wir besucht haben, wir sind am Ende irgendwie immer wieder hier gelandet. Auch zur Plaça de Catalunya ist es nicht weit, was die Lage wirklich praktisch macht.
Ein Minuspunkt war für mich das erste Zimmer, da es keinerlei Abstellmöglichkeiten gab. Kein Schrank, kein Regal, nichts, um Kleidung oder persönliche Sachen ordentlich unterzubringen. Im zweiten Zimmer war das zwar vorhanden, dafür fehlten dort jedoch Toilette und Waschbecken, was wiederum sehr unpraktisch war.
Die Zimmer zur Straßenseite sind grundsätzlich recht laut. In den letzten Nächten waren wir im Zimmer 105, das deutlich ruhiger war, was angenehm war. Allerdings hängt die Nachtruhe stark von den anderen Gästen ab. Leider waren manche sehr respektlos, laut, haben nachts herumgestampft und damit die Ruhe gestört.
Insgesamt punktet das Hotel klar mit seiner Lage, bei Zimmerausstattung und Geräuschkulisse gibt es jedoch deutlichen Verbesserungsbedarf.
Das Personal ist super nett.
