Lift your suitcases a spiral staircase!!!
Tiny room with tiny bathroom. Thin walls hearing other people in other rooms. This hotel is located on the 1st floor of a bldg which includes going up a 28 step (normally 14 steps/flr in US) winding cement staircase (see photos) to access from the G (ground) floor hall entry. It even includes in the Hotel Facility Accessibility Description: “Elevator” for handicap even including a wheel chair photo (impossible). All Guests are required to manually lift their own individual suitcases up a 28 step spiral cement staircase to get to their 1st floor Check In desk. If you are traveling with heavy luggages (ie: 50lbs each allowance for airline), you will be expected to walk up your suitcases to the 1st floor where a tiny elevator is located to get from Flr # 1-4. Their is no porter service (had to beg for assistance & offer $10 tip). While the hotel discloses that an elevator is available from the 1st floor. It does not disclose that there are 28 steps spiral stairs for the guest to climb up to get to the 1st floor. There are over 70 photos provided by the hotel to show their rooms & facilities. However, no photos of the stairs? They indicate that it is on the welcome email after you book a non-refundable room. I even complained on the "welcome email" which was sent via Hotel.com & never received a rsponse from the Hotel. This false advertisement of “Handicap” accessibility is illegal and should be flagged by Travel websites.

This property is right on Las Ramblas. Our room faced the action! We had to leave at 3am for a flight and the staff made breakfast available for us even at that early time. Highly recommend!

This hostel is exactly as advertised. You need to walk up 2 flights of stairs. Desk staff were excellent. Room small but very clean and adequate. There was a slight smell coming from shower drain which is in close proximity to head of bed. Drain smell does seem to be an issue in Barcelona. The breakfast was fantastic. Lots of healthy choices and “goodies”.
