I highly recommend this hotel! The room was extremely clean, with spotless floors, and the shared bathroom was spacious and very well-maintained. The room had a small fridge, and there was a microwave available in the hallway, which was very convenient. The ceiling in the room was beautiful, and my room even had a small balcony, making it a fantastic city stay experience. The location of the hotel is excellent — just about a 10-minute walk to Casa Milà, right in the city center, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. Additionally, there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making transportation extremely easy. The staff were incredibly friendly. I accidentally left my glasses at the hotel, and they kindly helped me have them shipped back — I’m truly grateful! I will definitely choose this hotel again the next time I visit Barcelona.

Great location, being very close to the city centre, Ramblas and metro stops. In an old building, but very clean and good beds and bathroom. I'd happily stay here again.

Beautiful room and great value

I have booked many one-night stays near the city center of Barcelona during the past few years, and this hotel was by far my favorite. My spacious room had a beautiful 'sunroom' with lots of windows, in addition to the sleeping area and bathroom. This hotel offers many small comforts and conveniences: I really appreciated having a desk and a mini-fridge, and the bed was comfortable. Good shower with hot water. The hotel has a common area with an electric teakettle and microwave, which is also much appreciated and made for a more comfortable and convenient stay. It was very nice to have a self-service laundromat a half-block away so that I could do my laundry before packing my suitcase for my flight home to the United States. The distance from Plaza Catalunya (and the airport bus) is a bit farther than other comparably priced hotels in the area, but I think the size and quality of the rooms more than makes up for the extra walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.
