Staff were friendly. Room was cleaned and had amenities such as a hairdryer, a fridge, and a safe. Was in a very good, central area of the city that allowed us to walk to major sites in the city. There was a metro station nearby as well. Very good value with this accommodation!

I highly recommend this hotel! The room was extremely clean, with spotless floors, and the shared bathroom was spacious and very well-maintained. The room had a small fridge, and there was a microwave available in the hallway, which was very convenient. The ceiling in the room was beautiful, and my room even had a small balcony, making it a fantastic city stay experience. The location of the hotel is excellent — just about a 10-minute walk to Casa Milà, right in the city center, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. Additionally, there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making transportation extremely easy. The staff were incredibly friendly. I accidentally left my glasses at the hotel, and they kindly helped me have them shipped back — I’m truly grateful! I will definitely choose this hotel again the next time I visit Barcelona.

Beautiful room and great value

I have booked many one-night stays near the city center of Barcelona during the past few years, and this hotel was by far my favorite. My spacious room had a beautiful 'sunroom' with lots of windows, in addition to the sleeping area and bathroom. This hotel offers many small comforts and conveniences: I really appreciated having a desk and a mini-fridge, and the bed was comfortable. Good shower with hot water. The hotel has a common area with an electric teakettle and microwave, which is also much appreciated and made for a more comfortable and convenient stay. It was very nice to have a self-service laundromat a half-block away so that I could do my laundry before packing my suitcase for my flight home to the United States. The distance from Plaza Catalunya (and the airport bus) is a bit farther than other comparably priced hotels in the area, but I think the size and quality of the rooms more than makes up for the extra walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.
