The location is perfect, sorrounding with many cafes, restaurants, metro stations and post office as well. Price is reasonable, only 1 matter need to improve : no water bottle provided. Others all good

The experience overall was really good, a nice hotel for its price, although we were missing some amenities like microwave because we asked reception and they didn’t have any way to heat up food, the toilet cleaner în the bathroom was just disgusting and the shower was broken a nice hotel aside from that will definitely go again

The hotel is conveniently located by Sagrada Familia and the metro station, about 9 minutes walk. The 24-hr front desk staff was great upon check-in/out. The room is small but still spacious enough for two people to fully unpack. We had daily housekeeping and got fresh towels, even when we planned on reusing the towels. The rooms are not sound proofed but we couldn’t hear our neighbors at all. We slept well at night. The bathroom is quite large with a tub/shower with a moveable glass door that you must place it in a specific position ensuring the base rubber is pointing towards the tub to avoid water spillage everywhere. I get that they tried to make the glass as a door, but being a tub, I don’t see how this is needed or would work well. Even with our best efforts, we still had quite significant amount of water leaking after showers. We found some mold behind the toilet as it’s installed so close to the wall that it must be hard to properly clean it. Outside of that, everything else was very good. The hotel offers breakfast at an additional charge but we did not have any as we wanted to try the local restaurants and shops. But it’s a nice to have option, specially if you are running short on time. Overall this was a good value, specially for the area.

Location near Sagrada Familia basilica, which surrounding of food kiosk, supermarket and restaurant. Walking distance to Metro and Bus Stop. Hotel team was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed my breakfast time without meet with other guest because at that time maybe I woke up to early. Just a suggestion for food variation to change every 2/3 days. For me who stays for a little bit longer will feel a same taste. But quality of the food was very good. I'm trying to get every item to taste I still can't get all. Hopefully can stay again at my next trip. Tha k you for your service

It’s a handy hotel within walking distance of Sagrada Família and metro stops.
The bed was a decent size but the room was cramped.
Could hear people talking in the next room and the aircon didn’t really have an effect.
There are some nice little restaurants nearby and plenty of supermercat stores to grab essentials.
We got an uber from the airport, took about 40 minutes and cost €30

We loved our time there. The room was nice. Breakfast was good. Great water pressure and temperature. The terrace on top is very cute. Great luggage check! They have large locker in witch you store your luggage and leave with the key. One star less as the person on front desk when we checked in at night was either not very interested or did not speak English or a mix of both. We fixed our room configuration ourselves by moving furniture around.

So far 2 nights of 7 we will stay here. The place is in a great part of downtown w breakfast included if wanted. Breakfast is 9 Euros/ person and quite tasty with good coffee and lots of variety.
The staff are friendly and helpful. There are lockers for luggage in case you arrive before check in. There are plenty of places for coffee and croissants, pastries and convenience markets. Many places to dine. We love being based here as many attractions ( Sagrada Familia is 3 blocks from here) the Barca Nord bus station is only 5 blocks south of here, where many excursions begin. Subway (Metro) has 2 stations 2&3 blocks away. The rooms are spacious, great bed and nice size windows that open. Mini fridge, TV and HVAC at a reasonable price in today’s market and location. It’s a 4 star clean hotel masquerading as a 3 star Hotel

Clean, great location, close to most Barcelona tourist spots

3 stars describes this hotel perfectly. I found the photos to be deceiving of the property but the location was very good and close to everything in town. Staff was pleasant, not overly friendly but not rude. The room was very very small and not like the photos. We never found how to access the rooftop as the photos show. Breakfast was nice, the selection was good and very good coffee. Likely would not stay again if we are in Barcelona but was a good option for a short stay.

The hotel is very near to Sagrada Familia (900m) and the Estacio del Nord bus station to Montserrat. Room is clean although basic.
