The room was clean and tidy, included toiletries in the bathroom and was in the centre so a perfect location. The staff at the hotel were so friendly and accommodating for my young children, would recommend and will be staying here again given the opportunity.

This hotel is well located and reasonably priced. Don’t come here expecting the Ritz, it is priced for the decor, quality and style. It’s a good home base option for a few days. 5 minute walk from the airport bus and la rambler. Recommended, yet manage expectations because it’s a cheap hotel and you’re getting that.
This is well located, reasonably priced and suitably equipped for a cheap hotel. Thanks for wonderful staff too!

Convenient location- just a very basic room and quite close to front desk so some disruption.

The hotel is in a really good location. The room we stayed in was small and basic, but clean and comfortable, and the service we received for most of the stay was excellent. On the final day we were hurried out of the room - the cleaner knocked shortly before checkout time and conveyed that we needed to leave quickly (we were due to leave before checkout time anyway). We were also a bit surprised to be charged 6 euros to leave three bags at the hotel for a couple of hours after checkout.
This is a great location! The front desk staff is friendly. The housekeeping staff is very serious and isn’t the friendliest person there. The room and bathroom are very small. The AC works fast and great! There are no small refrigerators in the rooms. TV gets a lot of channels and lots of shopping and dining options. This is a great low cost option with limited amenities.The elevator worked well during our stay.
The room was very nice, comfy beds, spacious compared to others i’ve stayed at in BCN for the money, nice shower, very accommodating and helpful staff. The only drawback was the room had a window to the street below that was extremely noisy all night long.

Internet wasnt reliable and slow. Cost extra for a safe. No fridge. Great customer service! Clean room.
Very basic 1 star hotel, with a huge price ($250/night) because of the yearly, huge
( 80,000 people) tech conference in early March. Best thing was the wonderful location. It was clean, front desk staff were very helpful. Room was extremely small, with a singlebed next to the wall. You have to carry your bag up many steps, before the elevator, but staff carried it for me up to the next floor, to my room. The outdoor bell, on the right with all the buzzers, to open the street level door, is directly under the Hotel sign on the left, immediately below it, but it doesn't look like a buzzer! Starbucks is a 2 min walk, and Placa Catalunya is 5 mins.
This is a great value hotel in the perfect location in the heart of Barcelona. Steps from Aerobus, Metro, La Rambla, Pl. Catalunya, shops, restaurants, convenience stores etc etc. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My room was small, but this is Europe, and is to be expected. It was very clean and had AC. There are stairs, but an elevator goes part way. The area is safe. I would definitely stay here again!
If you want to be central in a clean safe hotel this is the place , yes it’s basic but it has everything you need , aircon to keep you cool, safe for your personal items and a piping hot shower … ideal
