Amazing location! Happy to have A/C, little balcony was great, wifi worked well, shower was wonderful, service was very kind and always available. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic location, lovely wee balcony, mattress was PERFECT for me (I love a harder mattress, wife would of preferred bit softer)
Reception staff could not of been nicer
Only small thing for me would be the outside noise up to midnight time BUT that’s the Spanish culture we all come to enjoy and I am Scottish like an early night and a VERY light sleeper, highly recommend for the price location and balcony
The hotel prime location made it easy for us to explore the city’s major sights , especially the beach. The room is clean and Amanda is very welcoming and helpful.
Clean, safe, great staff and location. Building run down, very small rooms and can hear a lot of noise from reception in the rooms. Cheap and cheerful

Great stay here! The property is straight to the point and exactly like the pictures. The staff even allowed us to check in 3 hours early, which was awesome and made our stay 10x better. Just beware that the hotel is on the 3rd floor, so you will have to walk your bags up! Overall, we had a great stay and enjoyed the neighborhood. Many dining options along with bars, gelato, etc.
It was a very good experince to stay.Staff was welcoming and helpful in giving information about the area.very good location to stay and explore the area. Near to everything from food to travel around.

Super small place but has what is needed. We had a problem with the bathroom shower liking to the floor but we figured it out. Friendly staff and location was excellent
Nice and easy check in. Good communication from staff about information. Perfect location close to Metro and gothic area of BCN. Room well looked after.
It was perfect for what we wanted. Central so a lot of what we wanted to see was walking distance. We had a late check in and this was organised perfectly. Front desk couldn’t have been more helpful, would definitely stay again.

Simple, no frills, comfortable and clean. Great staff. Most important to me was its location.
The room was very comfortable and the position of the hotel was excellent, in the centre of the town with a lot of restaurants close to it. I suggest it.

For an hostel it was okay a little noisy, rooms a little small. Service was a 10/10.
Friendly and helpful staff. The location is nice. We were pleasantly surprised that this place was literally next door to the Paradiso. Look it up. It is rated one of the best cocktail bars in the world.
Other than the stairs, we really enjoyed ourselves.
This is a very good Hostal. It is ideally located for easy walking to museums, restaurants, local landmarks, banking facilities and tours. Very clean and the staff were helpful. Excellent security and 24 hour reception. It is located on the 3rd floor of the building and the final staircase is somewhat narrow on the risers. Also the motion activated lighting on the staircases didn’t always work.

Met expectations of a hostel. Bathroom had a bad smell if the door was left closed and refrigerator was on a switch which their outlet kept turning off so it wasn’t reliable. Otherwise it was clean and quiet

The place wast fast to find. The area around is the best we found a beautiful church and great shopping and restaurants. The staff were friendly and very helpful with any questions. The only complaint is the stairs. The main office is in the 3 floor and if you’re lucky your room will be in that floor. If not your room is in the fifth floor. It is a lot of stairs every time we had to go out.
