Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms, although small, were well-planned and equipped, yet the proximity to the elevator was a bit bothersome as it could be heard inside the room. The minimal natural light made the room feel dark, which was disappointing.
I arrived at the hotel and found the rooms to be a good size with our own courtyard/balcony, despite the disgusting smell and unmade bed. The furniture was very minimal, and the overall feel was basic and grim. The service was beyond my expectations, very efficient, and helpful with recommendations, even though they described their allocated parking as 'dodgy' which made me a bit unsure. The location was elegant, clean, and surprisingly noiseless during the night, close to La Rambla but away from the noisy season, and in the city center. The dining experience was a bit basic with no vegetables on offer, but overall alright. Facilities were sufficient for my needs.
The hotel is excellently located right in the center of Barcelona, close to major attractions like Guell House Museum and La Rambla. The spacious and clean rooms offer a good value for money, but some noise issues and small bathrooms can be drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located near La Rambla, making it easy to explore the city. The rooms, while having only internal views, were comfortable and clean. Service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff being very helpful while others seemed indifferent. The dining options were basic but sufficient. The hotel facilities were adequate for a short stay.
The hotel was basic but exactly what I needed. The room was lovely and clean, and very large; however, it felt a little bare. The service was fabulous and went beyond my expectations. The location was excellent, very close to La Ramblas and most tourist attractions. The dining was more than sufficient, so don't worry about the hotel not offering breakfast.
My stay at the hotel was comfortable, although the room could have been cleaner with some dust in the corners and a dirty floor. Despite lacking a window and air conditioning, the room was cozy. The natural light was minimal, possibly due to it being one of the less favorable rooms when the hotel was busy.
