Livinn House

Please note that this is not a traditional hotel—it operates more like an Airbnb, with no staff physically on-site. When we arrived, the air conditioning in our room was not working, and the indoor temperature exceeded 90°F (32°C). The room was quite small, and unfortunately, the windows did not open properly, resulting in very poor air circulation. We contacted the management team multiple times through WhatsApp, and while they acknowledged the issue and assured us it would be resolved, no action was taken during our stay. As a result, the room remained extremely hot and uncomfortable, especially considering the summer weather. After spending one night under these conditions, we decided to leave the property and book another hotel with working air conditioning for the remainder of our trip, incurring additional costs. We will be requesting a refund for the unused nights, as the room did not meet the advertised standards and was not suitable for occupancy.

Check in complicated especially for seniors

The rooms were very clean but significantly smaller than they looked in the pictures. The shower was so tight that you couldn't stand in it without the curtain touching you and defiantly not bend over. This is not really a hotel, but a hostel and if you're small, don't have a lot of luggage it works great.

The Reality Fell Far Short of Expectations** Don't be fooled by the "hotel" label on Expedia. What we found was a far cry from a comfortable hotel experience and closer to a bare-bones, unstaffed hostel. Finding the location was the first hurdle. Once inside, our hopes plummeted. The room was shockingly small and depressingly basic. Think sterile minimalism, not inviting comfort. Beyond a bed, a lone Ikea desk and a tiny shelf were the only furnishings. Forget convenience – even charging our phones was a battle, requiring us to unplug the TV due to faulty and inaccessible sockets. Attempting to escape the stuffy heat with the air conditioning only resulted in a flooded floor and an unexpected shower, courtesy of a relentlessly dripping and spraying AC unit. Our guest towels became emergency mops. To their credit, the owner responded the next day and repaired the unit. The shared bathroom was the final straw. The prospect of sharing facilities nearly drove us to seek alternative accommodations. We only stayed because our days were packed with exploring the city. While a shared kitchen exists, we didn't use it. The location is both a blessing and a curse. It's lively and centrally located near great local shops, cafes and close to the metro which made it easy to travel to all parts of the city. However, be prepared for a cacophony of late-night noise, from roaring motorbikes to random fireworks. We had an awesome trip to Barcelona despite this hostel.

The property is very nice and clean
