I’ll give it 13 out of Ten Estrellas
Nice very comfortable room!
Had a Balcony and
Bathtub in the bathroom!
But the best of it All was the Staff here!
Very very friendly in the Reception!
It is located in a small Alley on Carrer Ferran!
Easy to find wasn’t even necessary to use Google Maps for me!
But I know Barcelona like my own pockets so! You may have to check!

Pleasant hotel in the heart of the city!
The hotel was clean and pleasant. The excellent staff were warm and welcoming and all spoke good English. The lobby area was being renovated, but will be quite beautiful and modern when finished. The hotel is only footsteps from Las Ramblas but very quiet. A basic but tasty breakfast was included, and the hotel provided filtered water, welcome drink, and good value.

I found the hotel difficult to find. It's off a back street with no clear signage to tell you it's there. The bed was small and a little ruff. However, the staff was very friendly and the hotel is in a great location.

Location IS everything!
What an amazing location! We were 3 minutes from Las Rambla, and Placa Reial was in our backyard with amazing restaurants and entertainment. The rooms are comfortable ( they are typical Euro rooms), not a lot of space but a place to sleep and head out to enjoy the aitea. William at the front desk is amazing. He helped us with getting arpund on the metro his humour was appreciated coming through the lobby. Would 100% recommend and choose this hotel again.

Great location, needs updating
Great location off Ferran and almost at the heart of Gothic Quater. Rooms were spacious enough, breakfast was decent and plentiful. Clean enough but needs updating. Most staff were friendly. All in all we were quite happy with this hotel.

IF you go to Barcelona - stay here.
The service and friendliness of this hotel was perfect. The room was small but comfortable and convenient. This hotel does NOT have parking and as of sept 2024, you can’t even get to it by taxi due to road construction so plan to walk a few blocks. On the flip side. The fact that the road is closed creates a wonderful night life for pedestrian diners and shoppers.

Although the property was very clean and staff very friendly and helpful, the beds were very hard and it was difficult to get comfortable. Pillows were a bit too flat as well. The streets around have bars and restaurants that are open very late. Sleep was hard to come by. One night we were still hearing yelling and singing at 4am. Sleep wise was rough. Everything else was very good.

Hotel is hidden on the side street, not easy to find. Windows are not sound proof so experienced drunk people shouting on the street all night. Breakfast is very limited.

A little Gem
This is a great little hotel. Bit tricky to find initially. But it is right in the middle of everything. The staff are excellent, friendly and so very helpful. I recommend this place. The rooms are smaller, but as it's a place to sleep and shower, ya cannot go wrong.

This is a great location. Everything you may need is all around you. Cruise ships very close with a taxi. Would not recommend a walk with baggage.
