I did t like that you had to check in 6 blocks away. Thats should be stated. I had to walk with my family's languages and mine after checking in 6 blocks away in the heat.

Dislike: Very inconvenient check in process, the area of the actual place you stay at is a 10 minute walk from the check in. I did the check in online but they still wanted to the documentation there as well. The thick sheets were dirty and there was no windows in the room. Also, there was no shampoo/conditioner and the body wash given was in very small packets when our stay was three nights. Be warned, there is no staff on site. Like: Area of the hotel was good and not noisy. Aside from the sheets, the room itself was clean. Also, close walking distance to all the touristy stuff too.

Great location, very clean and serviced rooms. Would def stay here again.

This is a hostel. Not a hotel. Not what I believed I booked based on what I read. The blankets had stains, blood included and was disgusting. I’m glad I only paid for two nights. Only thing good was I liked the location.

Not the best

It was not the best , room is so tiny blankets weren’t clean , floor was not clean! Over all it was not the best but the only option that was available at that time

Lo unico complicado es el check in en otro edificio, pero el personal super atento.

Es un buen lugar y bien ubicado para turismo y para compras pues muy cerca hay almacenes de outlet. Esta limpio y tranquilo. La experiencia de Check in podría mejorar. Me explico: Llegamos tarde y pudimos hacer un check in preliminar vía web, eso estuvo muy bien. Al siguiente día nos tocó ir a un lugar como a 400 metros a hacer el Check in y pagar un seguro. Ya en el edificio del Check in fue difícil encontrar el piso pues en España, o al menos en Barcelona, un piso 5 es un piso 2(todavía no lo entiendo). Estábamos dos parejas perdidas buscando y timbrando en todas las puertas. Perdimos al menos 35 minutos entre ir, buscar en el edificio y pagar. Sería bueno manejar todo en el mismo lugar o al menos escribir la metodología para numerar pisos en el país o poner algún aviso.

Easy and good location nice clean room including bath towels,soap and shampoo hair dryer,fridge -Thank you(missing big window only)Lovely vacation anyway.Recommend this property 5*

For the price is expensive compared of other hotels

In short, it’ll work if rooms are short, but you can do better. The room was clean and centrally located, but there was noise all night.

They sent us the wrong code and we could not get into the property. We arrived at 2am due to a delayed flight and we were forced to look for another hotel to stay that night since the code Expedia and the hotel sent us did not work. Hotel staff admitted the next morning that the code we got no longer worked. This is unaxeptable! 3 women in the middle of the night trying to find a place to stay and everything was sold out!

Was terribly disappointed because this was listed as a 3.5 star hotel. I even asked if this was a hotel or hostel and the guy said hotel. This is clearly a hostel as it even says "hostel" on door. As a hostel goes, it wasn't bad but it was priced like a hotel, and the strong solvent smell made my daughter throw up. In the end, we had to book a different hotel and eat the cost. I fully believe this was done on purpose by the property- i got no refund and do not appreciate being taken advantage of.

This property is a hostel however is not showing up as a hostel on the listing. We went in and while the place was clean smelled so strongly of cleaning supplies that we actually couldn’t stay there and had to leave.

Quick family trip. Location was very convenient to walk to some major Barcelona sites. Only part I didn't like was the reception desk was not collocated with the actual rooms to stay. It was about 8 minutes away...not the worst, but a little inconvenient (plus the tiny elevator up to the higher floors, but that's common in these buildings). We would stay here again.

I was dissapointed about service.My TV didnt work but nobody came to fix it. Everything else were good.

Absolutely fantastic. Conveniently positioned, clean, friendly, excellent service. A basic guest house elevated to a higher level. Will definitely book again.

Positives: Location, price, high ceilings Negatives: Checkin/out in a separate building two blocks away from the property, terrible beds (we could feel the springs), paper thin walls (no acoustic insulation whatsoever), mold on shower edges and on curtain, dirty walls, half open stuck window shutters and lack of blackout blinds, noisy fridge, no fire exit. I appreciate it is cheap but there needs to be a minimum standard.

Friendly staff, great location, culture, food, architecture

Getting there and finding the place to check-in was not what we had expected. We could easily find it on sat-nav but when we got there we were stood on the street for few minutes because nobody was answering the intercom. We tried ringing the phone number on the entrance door - no answer, then we tried the number from hotels.com - no answer, luckily one of the residents came out so we could enter the building. We got to the first floor and after knocking on the door the cleaning lady opened. We asked about check-in but she didn't speak english, she gave us a business card from Fontanella hotel and told us to go there. We called the number from the card and finally somebody answered. So we headed back to via Laietana and checked in (that went smooth - apparently the hotel sent an e-mail with check in instructions a week before - we missed it). Walking there and back with the luggage and after a long journey is the last thing you want when you arrive at the hotel. Secondly, we weren't expecting a very high standard as this is only a 3* hotel (we usually choose 3* hotels) but having visited over 20 countries in the past few years this hotel would be at the bottom of the list in any category (we only had a smaller room in Oslo). The window and the layout resembled a prison. No fresh air as you could only smell fried food after opening the window. The shower kit had to be held in hand and the shower curtain was covered in mold. Big plus for location and that's it.
