Lovely lovely staff, great location, good value for Barcelona. We had a really nice stay in the family room and being so close to the Born neighbourhood, the port dining area and a metro line was perfect would definitely stay here again!
Definitely a private hostel room with basic amenities but for a family of 4 that spent almost no time in the room (only for sleep) it was perfect. Clean, safe in an amazing location and affordable! I’d definitely stay again!
Great location, big room with a balcony. Small flaws such as warm minibar and some hair on the floor/bed. But I would definitely stay again!

Unbeatable location
Clean room (but thin walls) with unbeatable location. Make sure to book a room with a balcony. Maybe a bit overpriced compared to what you get (and what you pay), but overall good accommodation for a shorter stay. Very friendly staff!
This is a very simple establishment, however Idina, the front desk host was amazing! She was so helpful and friendly! The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was big, which was a different from what I have experienced in Europe.

It’s a bit hard to find because it’s inside an apartment building and the process to access the reception is different, but once you figure it out it is a great place to stay
I would suggest a deep cleaning to the bathroom inside the shower but everything else is great
I would definitely recommend this place and will stay again there.

Receptionist was exceptionally friendly and did best to make us feel at home which we are deeply happy about.
However the rooms are not in extremely clean condition. There was hair in the shower on our arrival and the quilts do not have cover so not extremely hygienic. Hope these can be improved.

Great hotel location
The hotel was in a great location, close to the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta which was our main reason for choosing it. The check in process was really simple with regular communication from the hotel on what to do for gaining entry to the building. The staff were really welcoming and friendly, offering good advice for the area and staying safe in the city.
Our room was really clean and well maintained each day we were there.
A few things that could have been better was, having more daylight in our room. Ours faced into the small internal lift space so there was no view and very little daylight. The room, bathroom in particular felt a little tired and needed a little updating.
There were a couple of occasions where it was a little noisy from other guests but the staff did address this without us having to.
There wasn’t a secure, locked space for us to leave our luggage when we checked out so it had to be left within the main reception area next to the staff member.
Overall though it was a great stay and the location was the definite winner for it.

the staff was very friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself didn't feel like a hotel... the room was very small for a 4-person family and was poorly organized. felt more like a hostel then a hotel and the pictures are very misleading. the location is great and we got excellent service from the staff but the overall experience wasn't good mainly because of the condition of the room. would not recommend.
Unbeatable location. Perfect as a place to sleep and shower as you explore the old city. The room was small, but if you are staying in this area you should be out as much as possible.
Just know what to expect: this isn't a big hotel with a staffed front desk. The desk is staffed at limited hours, you have to buzz in at the front door to enter the hotel floor. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Just don't expect the traditional full service hotel experience.
Also, if you're traveling with young children, note that the rooms are very small and it will likely be too cramped for a family.
But I will stay here again. If you could choose any location in Barcelona to have a great experience walking around and seeing the city, this is the place.
We had to check in at the hotel
Across the road as they do not have a 24 hour reception. My husband’s backpack was stolen as we were unloading from the taxi. I informed the hotel by email and there was no response. Not safe if arriving in the evening. We were appreciative of the people outside the hotel who helped us.

Not a good experience overall. The reception area is located inside the room area and you can hear all guess conversations when checking in and out. Additionally, since there is no guard on the entrance door, if a guess leaves the door open you can get unwanted surprises such as homeless entering into the property to do their personal needs. We experienced fecal material behind the elevator which last for an entire day, and it was very uncomfortable. On the good side, the staff was friendly and responsive. However, we would definitely not come back to this hotel.
