The employees were very nice and helpful. The location was great. The room, however, was extremely small. Also, to get to the reception you need to climb stairs which is difficult with suitcases,

Great location

The hotel is really nice, super location. I can see where the stairs could be a little tough for people, I had no issues with them, as it is just one flight to the front desk and then there was an elevator. The rooms are super tiny, but had everything we needed, bathroom was very nice. Could not have been happier with our choice to stay there

Right at the heart of La Rambla, so pretty expensive for its value. You can hear the loud noise of Rambla streets until the crack of dawn. It takes a lot of time for taxis to come since the location is pretty tricky

The only downside to this place is that they ask you to deposit the room key at the reception whenever you go outside. Although they might still have access to the room otherwise, it still creates a privacy concern.
