Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel is conveniently located in La Rambla, in the vicinity of many restaurants that offer Catalonia and Italian and other cuisines. However, renovation works were carrying out in different storeys of the hotel including the sala de desayuno (breakfast room) on the ground floor. Therefore, the floor of my room as well as on the ground floor was a bit dirty during my stay. I hope the hotel is aware of this and keeps the premises as clean as possible. Other than that, the staff were very helpful and congenial, which made my stay in the hotel a pleasurable experience. Thank you.

Staff was great. Area was super loud with bars below our window. I guess it’s to be expected in that neighborhood though. Breakfast was not good. Easy to get to the metro and tourist areas and close to the port, so that’s good.

I’ll give it 13 out of Ten Estrellas

Nice very comfortable room! Had a Balcony and Bathtub in the bathroom! But the best of it All was the Staff here! Very very friendly in the Reception! It is located in a small Alley on Carrer Ferran! Easy to find wasn’t even necessary to use Google Maps for me! But I know Barcelona like my own pockets so! You may have to check!

Pleasant hotel in the heart of the city!

The hotel was clean and pleasant. The excellent staff were warm and welcoming and all spoke good English. The lobby area was being renovated, but will be quite beautiful and modern when finished. The hotel is only footsteps from Las Ramblas but very quiet. A basic but tasty breakfast was included, and the hotel provided filtered water, welcome drink, and good value.
