Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is excellent for busy travelers wanting to explore Barcelona quickly. The rooms, while offering an upgrade to a better room with twin beds, were small and lacked natural light, with a slight smell of cigarette smoke lingering. The service provided was very helpful and lovely, making our stay more pleasant. The dining options were limited and basic, not offering cooked food as expected, but the French toasts were a nice touch.
I don't even know where to start with this hotel! The room where the drinks vending machine is, which apparently doubles as the breakfast area, is just dreary. It's so noisy being right on Ramblas, the air conditioning was a plug-in unit that barely worked, and there were massive pipes and bottles behind it. To top it off, it sat perched on a box for 'better air con reach'—not a pleasant sight. The room looked dated, the air con was either scorching hot or freezing cold with no in-between, and it definitely needs a modern touch. Maybe having a kettle in the rooms would make a difference.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were noisy all night and had some cracks in the floor, but on the bright side, I had a balcony with a great view of Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya. The staff were extremely helpful and polite, offering me a fan to deal with the warm room. The central location was perfect for a busy traveler like me, right on La Rambla and next to a metro station. The dining options were not extensive, but the continental breakfast was decent. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.
I found the hotel to be quite cosy and very much in the middle of the city. Despite the fabulous location, it was very clean, had what we needed, and the breakfast buffet hit the spot. The service was so friendly and helpful among themselves, and they were very friendly, remembering us each time we came back or left the hotel, which was amazing. The location was superb, in the center of the city and very close to Plaza Cataluyna. The dining options were continental with a reasonable choice, and sometimes my favorite Spanish Tortilla was very nice.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. On the bright side, the room's furniture and bathroom were slightly better than expected. The room was hot but surprisingly quiet as it wasn't facing the street, however, it was really small with hardly any space to move around.
