Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and tiny rooms with limited natural light, but they were well-maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly, but there was an extra charge for luggage to the rail station. The location was perfect for exploring Barcelona, close to main attractions. The dining experience was good, though breakfast was not included.
Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very quiet, but lacked natural daylight. They were a good size and had both a shower and a half-size bath, which was nice. However, it would have been better to have more natural light in the rooms.
The hotel was decent for a one-night stay and quick trip to Barcelona. The rooms were clean and equipped with everything needed for a short stay, but my single room was a disaster - extremely noisy due to its proximity to the elevator with no isolation and no window, making it feel like a prison cell. I strongly advise against booking a single room in this hotel.
The hotel is conveniently located near Las Ramblas, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, perfect for relaxation, but on the smaller side with tiny windows. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, providing great assistance with tours and tickets. The location was ideal for sightseeing and felt welcoming after a hot day of exploring. Dining options were good, with trendy cafes nearby, but in-house dining convenience was missing. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some minor room size concerns.
The hotel is situated in a very convenient location, right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, close to Las Ramblas and other main attractions. The rooms, though practical and clean, were affected by noise due to proximity to the lift and had an outdated design. The service was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Dining options were limited, but there are trendy cafes nearby. The hotel lacks certain facilities but offers good value for the location.
The hotel's location is superb, nestled in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, offering easy access to everything. The rooms, however, had issues with cigarette smoke smell and thin walls but were conveniently close to the Cathedral. The service was outstanding, with staff that were helpful and friendly, even cleaning the room in our absence. The dining options were decent, with trendy cafes nearby, while facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel is situated in the heart of Barcelona's gothic quarter, offering a convenient location with its charming surroundings. The rooms, although basic, being next to the busy elevator, may not be ideal for light sleepers. The service provided was exceptional, with extremely helpful staff ready to assist guests.
