Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. Although the room was impeccably clean, quiet, and conveniently located near La Sagrada Familia and Plaza Cataluna, I found the water faucet being knee-level quite uncomfortable. The room was furnished with old-fashioned furniture, which some might find charming but others might see as dated.
The hotel's location in the Eixample area of Barcelona was perfect for our stay, very central and within a few blocks from Casa Mila and Casa Battlo. The rooms were smaller than expected but suitable for a short stay. The service, except for one lady during check-out, was friendly and nice. The dining options were limited, with some amenities available at nearby spots. Overall, a good value for money choice in Barcelona.
The hotel has a slight mold smell in the rooms, but they are all well-maintained and very clean, making them ideal for solo travelers looking for a budget-friendly option where cleanliness is a priority. The staff's behavior was a mix of friendly and disrespectful, with an attempt to overcharge guests. The location is excellent, nestled between two main shopping streets in Barcelona and near iconic Gaudi buildings, although staff engagement could be improved. Dining options are limited but convenient. Wi-Fi and air conditioning are provided, and the compact property offers basic amenities.
