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.

A basic hotel but very friendly staff and a comfortable bed. We didn’t try the breakfast as there were a lot of coffee shops/bakeries close by. I might choose this hotel on another visit to Barcelona as the location felt safe and was not too busy.

Great location and walkable everywhere. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They even emailed me to let me know my room is ready early (after I dropped off my bag due to early morning flight). Room was clean, spacious and quiet. There's a Burger King right across from hotel in case you get really hungry and need something quick. There's also a laundromat nearby hotel.

This is an okay place to stay. The first night the air conditioning was not working, the shower went back and forth from cold to scalding hot. Both issues fixed the next day.
