I've recommended this hotel to several people. I stayed in a single room, but it wasn't small at all, and the breakfast was quite good. There's a city tax of 6.21 Euros per person per night. The hotel's location is also great; it's about 2km walking distance to Sagrada Familia, Passeig de Gràcia, the beach, or Arc de Triomf, which is pretty convenient.

I never had the pleasure of staying. Two months before my trip, I was scheduled for surgery. I reached out to Trips.com and was told I could not cancel. I then tried on multiple occasions to reach out to the hotel without any progress. Long story short, I am stuck paying for a hotel at the end of a trip I never got to take. If you book through Trip.com, make sure you do not fall and require surgery because they will not allow you to cancel....even with 2 months notice.

The front desk service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and professional. In particular, a young male receptionist with curly hair was extremely warm and helpful, making me feel very welcome from the moment I arrived.

The room is small but charming. The curtains and windows have a nice vintage feel. Even though it's close to the road, the soundproofing is good. Some of the staff speak Chinese, which is a plus. It's very close to the beach and not too far from the city center. There's also a train station right next door. Overall, I'm satisfied and this is my second time staying here. The off-season prices are great too.

Great value for money! We booked a triple room for our family of three. The hotel is conveniently located near both the beach and the lively downtown area, and the price was just right. Highly recommended! I regret forgetting to take photos of the room before checking out, but the bathroom was spacious and it featured a balcony with a view. Plus, with a train station right next door, transportation was incredibly convenient.

This hotel is easy to find from the airport by taxi and it is great value for the cost. The room was very clean. Comfortable bed. Good water pressure. Air conditioned. Great location to walk around and get meals. I would recommend this place for value shoppers because it’s a good hotel.
