Detailed Reviews
Great location, reasonable price, very polite and helpful staff. Just a couple of things that we was slightly unhappy with. We paid for a balcony room to open our door to find a non existing balcony, something like this wouldn't bother me but when you are paying for something I expect to at least get what is advertised. I was also on the top floor (floor 6) my room was right next to the lift, so every time someone got in the lift you could hear it, it felt like the motor to the lift was in my room. If it wasn't the lift waking me up at all hours, the cleaners like to hoover outside your room at 8am. I know they have a job to do but after a heavy New Years Eve would of been nice for a peaceful morning.

My wife and I booked in this hotel for a short stay in Barcelona for our 10th year anniversary and we couldn’t have been happier.
Location:
Spot on. It was within 10 mins walk of La Rambla or the closes Metro station (which is super clean and easy to use). There is a crazy amount of restaurants, cafes, bodegas, take always etc etc
Staff:
Super friendly and went the extra mile as we mentioned it was our anniversary. They make the room extra special for us
The room:
We were in room 603 on the 6th floor. The room was spotlessly clean and spacious. The bed was huge and very comfortable. The room had an open style clothes racking system rather than a wardrobe, a safe, balcony, decent sized bathroom with a great shower.
Overall we were really happy with our stay and wouldn’t dream of booking anywhere else when we inevitably return to Barcelona.

Usually with a city break I’m of the opinion that ‘as long as it’s well located and clean it’s fine’ but our stay was just a little uncomfortable.
The shower was a cold trickle; no power at all and barely above lukewarm at best. The temperature in the room was very uncomfortable. The air con / heater didn’t seem to do anything but tell us how warm the room was and even in January at one point it was 32oC at 2am! The window was lovely and big so we slept with it open for most of the night but they do open on to a very loud road above several bars and what sounded like the bins and recycling being collected every night at around 2am. The rooms are quite small which was fine for us as we didn’t have much stuff but if you’re travelling with more than hand luggage it would be tight.
The hotel is really well located for lots of the main sites including las Ramblas, la Boqueria, palace Güell and the marina and several metro stops. It was also really clean. We just really struggled to sleep and I probably wouldn’t stay here again for that reason.

After I booked this hotel I read the reviews about the location and was going to change hotels, so glad we didn't. The hotel was a little gem in Barcelona, staff were great, exceptionally clean and the rooms really trendy. The area El Ravel which we had read many negative reviews was vibrant and fun, I even left my window open at night to take in all the sounds. We loved the skateboarders and even sat and had a drink in a little bar round the corner and watched them. The hotel was about a 5 minute walk from La Rambla and Playa Cataluyna, I would highly recommend this hotel, Acta BCN 40 thank you for your hospitality

I booked this before reading any reviews as it was a prime location and lovely rooms. After reading reviews about the street it's on, i had second thoughts about changing hotel but i'm so glad i didn't! We had a street facing balcony (room 405) and couldn't hear much when the door was closed like some have said on here. The rooms were so clean and modern and the receptionists were very friendly. We went out sometimes at 10:30pm and had no problems with the street or the people there at all. It's a lovely traditional street with a buzz about it. Great little kebab shop up the street too which was handy! My only wish was that the room had a mini fridge as we found it hard to keep our water cold but apart from that, it's definitely worth more than 2 stars!

Although quite small, it had everything we needed. It was well thought through. There was enough space for luggage and shower was big enough. The bed was extremely comfortable! Friendly staff. Breakfast was good. Its an old building in a small street with little supermarkets, and close to metro Universitat and walking distance to la Rambla. For 2 euros you can leave luggage in a locker. Taxis can also be arranged at reception. Nice cosy hotel, not luxurious but it had all what you need and very comfortable.

Lovely hotel tucked away in a hidden (slightly dirty) street. Very clean and staff extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Helped with directions and eating recommendations. Didn’t try the breakfast, but free coffee available from noon to 8pm. Lockers to store luggage at a €2 cost. Would VERY HIGHLY recommend this hotel. Rooms were clean, beds comfortable and could have slept in every day!

Clean and cozy room, we had no problem with the steet noise.
Great staff, frendly and helpful.
The hotel is excellently located for visiting all the major attractions on foot. There are multiple shops, bars and restaurants in the area and despite it's reputation we had a great experience in El raval.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights prior boarding the Norwegian Epic to cruise the Mediterranean. The hotel staff was friendly, professional, and most helpful. Corresponding with them before our arrival was very easy and prompt by email. There was no language problem. Our room was on the first floor and had a small semi private patio. The breakfasts were great with numerous choices. If we should ever go to Barcelona again, this would be my first choice for a hotel.

Seriously good hotel for only 2 star. Room as fantastic, bed comfy and bathroom perfect. Big walk in shower, perfect for a couple for a romatic stop. We had a small balcony on to the street. We were only on the 3rd floor but that didn't matter, still a lot of light and a good view of the street. Initially found the price a bit high for where the hotel is located but honesty probably couldn't have done better. Would and probably will come again.
Top marks.
Ps. Didn't try the breakfast, too busy checking our the cafes in the neighbourhood

Yes, we do have an elevator for our clients.
Yes 😁
If you go on their own website it tells you all the facilities the hotel offers
It’s a lovely little hotel
Hope this helps
Baggage storage is 2 euros and or taxi was about 25 euros. A bus and the Metro can be taken from the airport, leaving you about 5 mins walk. The Metro I think is 5 euros.
