This is a great location! The front desk staff is friendly. The housekeeping staff is very serious and isn’t the friendliest person there. The room and bathroom are very small. The AC works fast and great! There are no small refrigerators in the rooms. TV gets a lot of channels and lots of shopping and dining options. This is a great low cost option with limited amenities.The elevator worked well during our stay.

Very basic 1 star hotel, with a huge price ($250/night) because of the yearly, huge ( 80,000 people) tech conference in early March. Best thing was the wonderful location. It was clean, front desk staff were very helpful. Room was extremely small, with a singlebed next to the wall. You have to carry your bag up many steps, before the elevator, but staff carried it for me up to the next floor, to my room. The outdoor bell, on the right with all the buzzers, to open the street level door, is directly under the Hotel sign on the left, immediately below it, but it doesn't look like a buzzer! Starbucks is a 2 min walk, and Placa Catalunya is 5 mins.

The room was very nice, comfy beds, spacious compared to others i’ve stayed at in BCN for the money, nice shower, very accommodating and helpful staff. The only drawback was the room had a window to the street below that was extremely noisy all night long.

Friendly staff and great location. Some aspects of the room were tired - a faulty wardrobe door for example but on the whole ok. Some noise from nearby reception and WC but manageable overall and a pleasant stay.

The daytime receptionist was normal, but the nightshift receptionist with cranky face was horrible, he didn't even say thank you when I checked out. I paid 5 euros as a deposit when I checked in, but it wasn't refunded when I checked out.

This is a great value hotel in the perfect location in the heart of Barcelona. Steps from Aerobus, Metro, La Rambla, Pl. Catalunya, shops, restaurants, convenience stores etc etc. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. My room was small, but this is Europe, and is to be expected. It was very clean and had AC. There are stairs, but an elevator goes part way. The area is safe. I would definitely stay here again!

Sød betjening i receptionen meget hjælpsomme. Ret lydt, tag evt. Ørepropper med😉 Had a "do not disturb" sign on my door , it was not respected by service. Towels changed every day, not an option.

I booked this place thinking that they had a lift because that’s what their listing says, but was surprised to see that you need to climb flights of stairs to get to their lobby, and that is where the lift is. It was very inconvenient for us who had lots of luggages. We arrived very late at night and we were very tired so we were so disappointed with what we had to go through. The staff who was there that night kindly let us use the ramp for PWD to move our luggages and he helped carry our luggages, but the other staff the next day was the exact opposite. He did not allow us to use the ramp. He then asked if we’d like him to book us a cab and we politely declined because we were booking an Uber. When we asked if we could ask for his help to bring down our luggages, he said no. He probably was pissed that we didn’t want to take the taxi service. He even said that if we book the taxi service, the driver will go up to help us with our luggages lol. So I think that because we declined, he didn’t want to help us. As for the room, it is very basic but a bit spacious. We only stayed for one night so can’t say much. Overall, we did not have a good stay. This may be okay for backpackers but definitely not for travellers with luggages. I just hope the hotel updates their description about the lift because it’s very deceiving.

If you want to be central in a clean safe hotel this is the place , yes it’s basic but it has everything you need , aircon to keep you cool, safe for your personal items and a piping hot shower … ideal

The 2 stars on Staff and Service is not because they were not friendly and courteous. They are very nice and always said hello when I came in and out. When I checked in they told me the city taxes portion of the bill had to be paid in cash. I knew ahead of time this would be extra fee that wasn't included in the bill, so that was fine. I didn't know that it HAD to be paid in cash. All of the hotels my friends stayed at, they all just added to the charges and paid with their credit cards (I found that out later). But...I was going to need cash anyway so I worked it out. THEN....I asked for a safe and was told it would be $2 extra. Fine. But I WASN'T told at the time that it ALSO had to be in cash. So the night before checkout I was told about it having to be in cash when I had already spent all my Euros! So the next morning I had to waste more upcharges and fees to take out just the $8 I needed. I had to spend $20 to get 8 euros when they should have told me the first night the safe fees were also cash. This was the only reason I gave such a low rating. It's a very simple hotel with value for the low cost, but that was not cool doing that. They need to be upfront with everything.
