“Booked 5 nights in August. Luckily I was allocated a twin room at the back of the hotel. Very spacious, lovely french balcony with gorgeous views of the church. Woke to the sound of the church bells ringing. Very quiet, no street noise. Room well attended to and serviced when required. Air con a bit old but when left on constantly and all windows shut, kept the room at a comfortable temperature. Some nights I had a personal fan running too for extra comfort. No kettle - had to purchase my own. Reception staff friendly and informative when required. Felt very safe and comfortable during the whole stay. Very clean room, bedding and towels. Beds were comfy (on the firm side but that is my preference). Would recommend and stay there again. The location was perfect - right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter and seconds from Las Ramblas. More than expected from a budget hotel. Well worth the money.”
“Location superb. Rooms are small but beautiful. No bath. Rooftop bar is delightful but no liquors for evening enjoyment. The reception bar closed early. The restaurant for breakfast was beautiful the food was delicious and varied. The serving staff were attentive and discrete topping up the self service buffet constantly. A beautiful hotel experience.”
“We stayed 2 nights. The location is central including 2 min walk to metro station, 2 stations away from the Pg. de Gràcia (attractions and luxury shopping stores), about 40min metro ride to the airport, multiple restaurants and souvenirs shopping nearby. It was very convenient for us. Although, it can get little noisy on weekend nights as there is a bar nearby and we were woken up by drunk people talking and yelling around 5am. It was nice of the receptionist to warn us to be safe and not pull out of phones upon checking out around 6:30am as there were few people on the streets. There is always a staff available 24hrs at the desk. The check-in was smooth. Staff are kind and welcoming. The room was pretty basic but spacious and clean for us. The bathroom was clean. The balcony was a nice touch. Overall, I recommend it if you are spending few nights to explore Barcelona given how expensive other hotels are.”
“Just got back from.a 5 night stay in Barcelona , The room.was amazingly spacious and extremely comfortable with good quality towels and bed linen . We had a lovely balcony overlooking the church and had the lovely sound of the bells which was lovely . The only downside was the lack of a kettle in the room , I think this would be a beneficial thing to add to the room at practically any cost at all . The room had a fridge but no kettle which was strange . Have to add reception staff were amazing especially Lisa who was an absolute Sweetheart.”
