Property is down a small side street only around 150yds from la Rambla so location is excellent. We arrived at 11am and were allowed into our room around 11.45am Guy on front desk was very helpful Room was very clean and fairly spacious. Bed was a little hard but overall our stay for the price we paid(Just over 42euros which included visitors tax)and included a good continental breakfast was outstanding value. Would definitely use the hotel again the next time we visit Barcelona

Great location. Staff friendly and accommodating. We arrived super early and they were able to check us in, which was great because we were tired and had a bunch of bags. Breakfast was included and was good quality and offered variety. The building is old but is well maintained. Totally recommend this place if you are looking for a clean and convenient place to shower and sleep after a day out getting to know the city.

Property is in a good location. Lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. Can be noisy at night due to location depending on the room you receive. We stayed twice and one room was very quiet and the second one we did hear noise but were able to sleep. Best part is the staff. They are welcoming and hospitable.

This hotel is on the gothic area of Barcelona off of the main road and a bit difficult to find. It was a lovely hotel but I wish they gave better instructions on how to get there. The hotel is literally up a very small street that looks like an alley way.

We liked the staff a lot; they were friendly, helpful and did their jobs well. They keep the room key for guests, which I think is a good idea in that area, and they truly keep an eye on things. We're used to beds that aren't as firm, and it would be nice to have washrags, but otherwise, everything was fine. The area around the hotel needs cleaning up quite a bit, and it is noisy outside the hotel at night, but the Gothic Quarter is very old and crowded with tourists and partiers, so I assume the city services department understandably struggles to keep up with the crowds.

We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the port, for a 3-day stay after a cruise. Unfortunately, it is in an area close to many noisy restaurants. The noise continued right into the morning hours. If you like a night party person, this is a great spot but if you're looking for some quiet after a full day of sightseeing - find a hotel off La Ramblas.

Lift was not working on arrival so had to carry luggage up three levels with no one to assist. Not sure how anyone with a disability would have managed. Lift was not put back into service until 3rd day. Room had musty odour.

Very clean rooms and the service was great. However, during my entire stay the elevator was not in service and there was a lot of steep stairs to climb multiple times a day, which was especially difficult with heavy luggage. The area itself is extremely convenient and a quick 30 seconds from the nearest train station and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The area is also really noisy and we could hear noise of people out on the streets at night but this is to be expected when you're downtown in a major city. Overall, it was a very reasonable price and I would stay here again.
