Room was as shown. However the picture is distorted to show room bigger than it looks. Very tight space for a 3-bed bedroom. The breakfast selection is very good for the added price to include breakfast. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Location is conveniently close to bus stop and metro station.

It’s a decent hotel. The room size is smaller than I expected. There’s a small tv. The room had a stench of sewer the second time I stayed there on my trip to Spain. The breakfast was good and reasonable if you opt for breakfast offer at check-in time.

The staff was friendly and helpful with answering questions, scheduling activities and transportation. The room was clean and well maintained. The water pressure in the shower was the best! The hotel location was great. Close to a busy pedestrian street for a stroll and great food and also close to bus stops and at a metro stop.

Delicious and filling breakfast from 7-1030am. Good price for great location. Short walk to parallel metro with its funicular connection to mountjuc. Doable walk to La Rambla, Plaza de Catalunya and Barri Gothic even for seniors like us. Variety of eating places nearby from burger king to peruvian and andalusian resto. Super clean and good smelling room and washroom. Very comfy bed. Perfecto.

We like the hotel, it was right for the price, basic but clean, breakfast was with options and enough variety with protein, pastry, fruit, jams etc. neighborhood was lively and a bit to much at first sight but we did not feel unsafe with enough families around and different restaurants. Specially tapas places at the street behind the hotel were nice. Thank you for a nice and safe stay.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I made an almost last minute reservation not researching hotels as much as I usually do, merely choosing it because of its location and price. However, the hotel turned out to be very nice, clean, and recently renovated. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, And, I even got a room upgrade.

Great value. The upgrades they made including an extra layer between walls to reduce room cross noise were good. It was my 7th stay at the hotel. Great WiFi. Good location. Metro station 1 min away. The room had a safe. AC worked very well. Lots of fast food and regular restaurants with minutes. The area outside the hotel is a bit sketchy but it’s safe.
