The hotel is located in an older part of town that did not feel the safest. After check in, the clerk said our 4th floor room was not accessible by the elevator due to some renovations. He kindly took us to a service elevator. This elevator was in rough shape, but we thought ok , it’s a service elevator, no big deal. When we got off the elevator, we stepped into a complete construction job! Black plastic, construction workers, sawing, etc. I asked in Spanish if this was the 4th floor?! They answered in Spanish yes, to proceed down the hall but to watch out for the iron pipes and tools. They were laughing heartily at our shocked expressions as we reached our room. Our room was nice, I guess it had just been renovated. But the shock of the construction and elevator condition were certainly unexpected. We made our tour of the Sagrada Familia and called it an early night, not wanting to be out after dark in the area of our hotel. A warning about being under construction, especially right there beside your room, would have been nice to know.

It’s a very well suited hotel close to the most attractions of Barcelona. Hotel is small and cozy . Perfect for a short stay. Hotel stuff is very friendly and customer oriented, make you feel very welcome. The Raval area might be some evenings/ nights very busy and noisy but for the rest is very quite area. I’ve read some comments that the area is not really safe, but we didn’t experience any odd situation. I will highly recommend this hotel to everyone because of the quality, price and location.Special thanks to Sergi for his kindness!

We arrived early and they were able and willing to let us into our room, which was very much appreciated. Our room was on the first floor, it was a good sized room . The bathroom was excellent with hair dryer , magnified mirror, which my wife found very handy, a bath which is always welcome and very nicely appointed. The only downside to the room is the flooring, it is first generation laminate, worn , chipped and I'll fitted, if this was changed it would improve the room immensely.
The staff were very nice especially Sergi, he was so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much, a real asset for the hotel! The hotel is just a ten minute walk from the Ramblas, so it's in a very good position.
The only downside to our trip was the Raval area. I have always felt comfortable when we have stayed in Barcelona but I have to admit I felt a little nervous at night, I was propositioned by a girl and saw intravenous drug taking in broad daylight.
Having said this, the hotel was a real find, very reasonably priced, very comfortable just a bit of a pity about the area but I would stay there again.
