6/10 Good

Don't expect much

We can say that it was a good stay, except for the neighborhood, the fact that the hotel is under construction, the noise very early in the morning due to the distance of 2 meters between the breakfast dining room and the rooms, the fact that they still keep the room open for service despite knowing this situation, the neighborhood of the hotel and its surroundings are noisy :)

Mike Barcelona

Good value. 4th stay at this hotel. Large room. Safe. Great wifi. Convenient location. 2 minutes from Metro / Funicular. Room had an odd odour coming in the bathroom (through the plumbing I imagine) but in fairness, I didn’t say anything until check out after my 4 night stay. I just used a can of air spray and all was fine. I mentioned this to reception on check out. A Carre Four and Dias minutes away for snacks. Recommended
Michael, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Surprisingly when we arrived at the hotel we weren’t even greeted by the two receptionists. Not even a good evening let alone a smile or a welcome phrase. Even though I did check online for which I had a confirmation email the receptionist kept insisting that I did not do so and wouldn’t even take a second to look at the email confirmation which I was trying to show him. Hence the check in took very long which we really weren’t very pleased to go through because it was almost midnight and we were travelling with kids. However the breakfast was good and the staff down there was nice and polite. Another thing which we didn’t expect was the construction that was going on at the hotel’s first floor where the breakfast room was located. The location of the hotel was good having a lot of dining options around. Wouldn’t praise the cleaning at all, the bathroom needs some deep cleaning. Overall I would not go back there if ever again in Barcelona.

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.

Buena relación calidad-precio

Para los elevados precios actuales en esta ciudad, el de este hotel resulta bastante razonable. Buenas relación calidad-precio. El personal es muy profesional y amable. El entorno está bastante bien de servicios.

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.
