Detailed Reviews
What a lovely hotel! We enjoyed our stay here a lot. The room was sparkling clean, the beds were super comfortable and the balcony had a nice view down to the green square in front of the hotel. The staff was super friendly and flexible with our check-in time. If you´re looking for a budget friendly hotel with lovely rooms in great location you won´t be disappointed.

Me and my sister (22&21 y/o) stayed here at the end of february for 3 nights, the customer service was brilliant and there was a super friendly woman who greeted us every morning.
The beds were comfortable and the air con was really good, cooling down the room in seconds! A very central location, with the metro being a two minute walk away.
This was a perfect affordable accommodation for the weekend, very quiet and cosy! Close to the beach, the marina, restaurants! The shower was lovely too!
Will be booking this same hotel next time we visit barcelona! :)

We wanted a hotel with a water view, close to the metro, and a friendly staff. The room was very clean, the view was of the yacht basin, and the staff carried our luggage up the stairs. What more could we ask for. Great new small hotel.

That was the worst experience. This is not a hotel. It’s guest house and it’s disgusting. The smell and restroom were really bad. The smell of it was like big toilet. The workers there were really rude. We couldn’t stay an hour there
Also, it’s building second floor and no elevator. People leave at 5 no one will help you after business hours
They don’t deserve the one star
Rooms: Smell really bad. They didnt flash the toilet
Walkability: It’s building and it’s second floor without elevator

The staff were some of the rudest people I have ever met and made me and my friends uncomfortable and feel unsafe during our 3 nights there. Heard her talking bad about us because walls are paper thin. Also toilet broke and they didn’t fix it. Room had no windows or natural light.

My friend and I noticed that there was hair from places where the sun doesn’t shine when we were climbing into bed that were not ours. Their reception closes early so there was no one to report it to. We made a complaint in the morning about the dirty sheets and they said they would take care of it. We came back to new sheets with more hair stuck on the sheets. The front desk said there was nothing they can do since their laundry comes from the same place with the hair problem. We slept in sheets with variations of strangers hair for two nights.
We asked them to email the owner to see if we could get a credit and no reply still. It’s been a week. We don’t recommend this hotel unless you like unsanitary conditions (cups with mold in the bathroom, etc.) and no communication.

The hotel was modern with excellent location and clean. Very close to Paseig Gracia and Placa Catalunya and La Rambla, ideal for sightseeing
Service from the staff was great and helpful.
Wi-fi worked really nice and was free.
We spent a great weekend, the feeling is more like a hotel!

The location of this hotel is great, but sadly that’s the only good thing I can say. We arrived and the first room we got was too small for 2 of us, so we paid an extra €80 for a larger room. We thought things were initially great until we got ready to sleep. The room had 4 beds and all of them had disgusting body hair stuck to the sheets. We had to sleep on top of the sheets in a very hot room since the front desk was gone for the day. The next day we complained to the front desk and they said they would email the manager... still haven’t heard anything back and it’s been a week. We asked them to double check the sheets and when we arrived back, there was hair all over the beds again for the second night. The front desk had to change the sheets for us but the hair was stuck to the fitted part, so again we had to sleep on top of the sheets. Also the bathroom cups had mold inside and the bathroom wasn’t very clean. Very disappointed and wouldn’t recommend.

Yes, there is an elevator. Only one floor to the rooms.
Small elevator, typical for European hotels.
