Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
After we are from the US and used to having a lot more space in privacy and it was a much older building, but a quiet little gem. Initially, we were shocked, but overall, we were so grateful for the experience. This staff was super friendly and accommodating, and the room was nice and quiet, even though it was on the main street and very easy to get to everything. This is a definite little hidden gem.

This is not a hotel because doesn't have the hotel accommodations. I don't recommend for elderly or families because it's a little bit tricky to get into your room. Also, the rooms are very small, isn't for big people, bathrooms are smalls. The cleaning is good.

Good clean hotel in a great location.

Great location, easy access despite late arrival. Some rooms close to reception can be noisy, but I had ear plugs so it was fine.

There was this unpleasant sewage like odor in the hotel and in my room that I couldn’t wait to leave Barcelona. Also the fact that half of my stay the elevator wasn’t working and going up those flight of stairs was not easy.

Practical, clean room, nothing for old people, no hotel no breakfast. But like every other accommodations they are misusing the demand. For 200 tit would be a 5*, for 300 a * for 350 a 3* and for 400 only 2*

Cheap, amazing location, poor entrance and lift

The room itself was clean and modern. The entrance to the build wasn't easy to fine and they are on the top floor so you must use the lift. The loft was tiny, old, and didn't lol very safe. There were no pictures of the lift before booking, I think they should mention this before booking as was misleading. The location was amazing, all in all it's not a bad place, but I personally wouldn't stay there again
