Hotel in general was amazing! The only issue was the shower, the water temperature was intermittent and it was a constant battle or way too or way too cold.

The hostal is located to very walking distances of tourist attractions,there's a ton of restaurants just outside. Don't expect the hostal to be modern when it's a heritage bldg. But the toilet and aircon are very good. The aircon is fantastic for a warm weather. It's affordable for It's location. The doors uses a card. The lighting maybe just needs to be brighter instead of a warm yellow. But it's fine. The water heating works well. It's an old and well kept hostal with a lot of spanish history and character from flooring, ceiling and mosaic tiles. I recommend for being budgetbfriendly and close to every shop and attractions.

The room was a good size and had a great view, it is very central which makes it perfect for touristing around the city. Staff were lovely and very helpful, the room was cleaned every day, however, the bed could use some work. Overall, the stay was pleasant with a great view and location.

Staff were friendly. Room was cleaned and had amenities such as a hairdryer, a fridge, and a safe. Was in a very good, central area of the city that allowed us to walk to major sites in the city. There was a metro station nearby as well. Very good value with this accommodation!

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.

Fine room. No one was available for checkout and it’s supposed to be 24 hours. Left at 3 am to catch a flight and no one was there

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.

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.

It was a bit hard to find the front desk to check-in, more details provided beforehand would be useful. Area is fantastic. Room was neat and had a great balcony. Staff was helpful.

It is a very old building and the noise isolation is poor, we can hear everyone speaking in next room. The bathroom has up to date shower room and toilet bowl that is a credit for this hostel

This hotel is located right in Eixample, right in the center of the city. The room was very comfortable, clean spacious and had a balcony. Wifi worked great and it had an AC and small radiator. (I think the refrigerator holders could be cleaned though.) There was no bathroom in this room, but it was down the hall and I never needed to wait to use it because I was one of the few guests on my floor. Reception check-in was quick, friendly and hands-off. The entrance is a bit hard to enter for someone with mobility issues because you need to step through the small door and there are some small stairs to enter the building, but there is an elevator. I would definitely stay here again.

On the plus side, the room was clean with fresh linens every day, bathroom was spotless and cleaned daily, the staff were friendly and non-instrusive, and the place is centrally located so there are great things to see and do with easy access to all transportation. It had air conditioning as well. On the negative side, this tiny room was much more expensive for what you get, compared to anywhere in North America. My first thought was "Geesh, do people in Spain really live like this?" The room was very small, with two single beds squeezed side by side, no chairs, no dresser, just a single desk sitting on top of a mini-fridge. No stove or microwave in the room, you had to share appliances out in the "lobby" of the hotel. My son and I only planned to sleep there, so that was okay, but certainly you would not have a meal in the room or entertain any guests! Very little space in the tiny room. And Spanish people DO live better than this -- our next hotel in Grenada was much, much nicer, with a pool, and at half the price. Soooo... maybe look for a nicer place in Barcelona. Unless all you need is a clean bed and toilet. (But I will say, the staff were very friendly and did a great job keeping the place clean. So kudos to them!)
