The hotel is close to sagrada familia and many good restaurants. We stayed for 3 nigths. The first night was in nr. 202, and that was at very small and narow room with a very small bed (3/4). It has a door right in to room 201 and we could hear everything throgh that door- not nice. We asked for... More

I fastened onto this hotel because I was only staying one night in Barcelona, in transit between Valencia and Porto, and so wanted somewhere close to the city and transport to the airport. It was a bit more difficult to find than the Internet map suggested, but did indeed turn out to be both close to transport links and the... More

We had a twin room that was comfortable and clean. Disappointed that no tea/coffee making facilities or English channel on the TV. Staff very helpful in all area. The hotel close to Sagrada Familia. We walked to the zoo, which is terrific, Las Ramblas, the port area for a boat trip. Enjoyable 2 night break, but very cold. More

We were booked in this hotel via Gate1 Travel (who usually has good picks) and were disappointed in the quality and service as well as the remote location - 11 long city blocks+ to get to the city center and Ramblas. Hotel room was small, walls dirty and bed hard a a board. Breakfast buffet was so bad, we ate... More

Good basic hotel in the centre of everywhere. 20mins walk to all major attractions. Reception and restaurant staff helpful and pleasant. Visited old stomping ground plus new sights. Did a hop on/off sight seeing bus did the red and blue route to get back to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral which was only a few minutes walk from the hotel. More

Award-winning sense of disenchantment here. More of a glorified motel - definitely not a hotel: one-person reception at night, can’t call down to reception, they couldn't bring anything up (like a pillow or blanket). If you’re happy to throw away good money for such little service, then you have enough money to book somewhere else. Someone is making good money... More

We stayed at the hotel for new year and were very impresses at how nice the hotel was. We didn't pay a lot to stay there so we were very impressed at how modern the rooms were and found the location to be great for getting to most places in Barcelona from. The only downside was there was no dressing... More

My wife and I stayed one night on the day before embarking on a cruise. Front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. Check in was efficient and as an added bonus we were able to check in quite early after having arrived on a morning flight. The hotel emailed us directions using public transportation from the airport. However the... More

this was a very nice hotel located in a pleasant neighborhood. it was near some of the major sites we wanted to explore and close to public transportation that we used to go everywhere. i would recommend though that they invest in a machine to squeeze fresh orange juice as well as good coffee or espresso machine. They had an... More

There's not much going on in the neighborhood (though it is an easy walk to Sagrada Familia). The hotel itself is clean and the front desk was reasonably friendly. The cleaning staff was loud and made it impossible to sleep in past 7am. We were very lucky to have a room with a nice street view, so I'm grateful for... More
