Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff were very helpful. Beds were comfy. The only negative was the breakfast for 9 euros per person the eggs potatoes and bacon were prepared and just left out - not in a chafing dish so everything was cold.

Great stay and good value We had a great experience at this hotel. The location was pretty central to a lot of the main tourist spots—Sagrada Familia was only about a 10-minute walk, and we were able to walk to Park Güell, Barceloneta Beach, and Palau de la Música, though those took more time (around 20–40 minutes each). Staff were friendly and had a great restaurant recommendation we really enjoyed. Only downside was the wifi—it wasn’t very strong. Overall though, good value for the price, and I’d stay here again.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was always ready to help and the breakfast was very good. The best thing is the proximity to so many places! We walked to Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, La pedrera, we even walked to Arco del Triunfo and to Barceloneta beach! Great location and very affordable hotel. Would definitely stay again. We read reviews mentioning the area is loud and that the air conditioning is not cool enough, we didn’t experience anything like that. The rooms were very clean, plenty of towels and even had water for us.
