The hotel was nice though it is old, loved the doors, floors and curtains. But had to complain every day about the hot water, I couldn’t take a shower at night cause there was no hot water. I’m on day 5 and still nothing.
The staff were lovely and helpful. Location was fantastic. Room was a good size. There’s no breakfast, but there are lots of bakeries and cafes nearby. There’s a fridge in the room, and a shop nearby that sells water and soft drinks.
It was delightful. However, our room did not have air conditioning so it was very hot and quite uncomfortable.
Staff were all friendly and helpful.

Staff were great, really helpful. Bathroom & room were clean. Shower good, air con kicked in when needed. Room was very tired though and in real need of a refurb. Bed was a double & not a King bed as advertised. Location good for most attractions but it's a noisy area which did disturb our sleep. Was a good value option for the money, luggage storage on our last day was great.
This place was everything I was hoping for-a clean, simple place to stay. At certain points there was some noise from other guests and the street but it wasn't too bad.
The localition is very nice but the property wasn't very well as the airconitioner were never working during our stay, a part of that we had to use a physical key when we used to go out in the nights sometimes was difficult to get in to the room. The shower wasnt working very well too and pillows very bad quality.

Helpful staff. Clean room and sheets. Close to the shopping and restaurants and Metro.
Very uncomfortable pillows. Very noisy area. No king bed it was queen bed.
The hotel was nice and very clean. Price-performance hotel.
3 min. by walking to the La rambla street. The staff was very helpful. The room was very cold my first day, but when I told them, they fixed it immediately.
Only negative thing, Wife is very poor...
i sincerely recommend...

It's fine
The room is fine, nothing glamorous but it is clean and everything works. The neighborhood can sometimes be noisy but I slept fine.
I’d give this hotel a solid A-. It was clean and had everything you could reasonably expect. The staff were very pleasant and I felt safe with their security from the bustle on the street. The only thing I didn’t understand was why the fridge was a “cooler”, not a real refrigerator. I would have appreciated the ability to keep take-away food fresh.

Friendly staff and conveniently placed in the center of town. If you are looking for a cheap hotel this is perfect. However, the room was small with not much space to put things eg bathroom and table in the room. The kettle never boiled the water, the hairdryer turned off halfway through drying my hair. The price was very fair but I would chose a bit more comfort next time I visit.
