Good Hotel in the Heart of Barcelona
We had a very good stay at this Hotel. The location was perfect for our needs. It was a 10 minute walk to the Church and nearby metro station. The breakfast was adequate for our needs. The Hotel is clean and the bed was comfortable. My only complaint was the hotel front desk staff were not that friendly.

Nice hotel stay
Good room, clean, good air con.
The bathroom was modern and had good touches like the shower gel /shampoo etc.
good location and easy to get to, no issues with checking or checkout.
Breakfast was good but for me as a vegan wasn’t the best - there was minimal things I could eat on the buffet. Although there was soy milk available which was a bonus, not many options in the actual buffet.
But we only stayed for 1 night so wasn’t a big deal.
Liked the hotel and good value for money.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, but it was a little disorganized, similar things (such as sweets, bread, etc) were far apart from each other.
The staff was helpful, room was comfortable and location is excellent

Great stay! Easy check in process, and they even had luggage lockers to store our items in while exploring the city before we could check in, which was so nice! Also, the 12pm check out time was great as we were heading for the airport and wanted to sleep in before the long haul back home.

Great hotel
Lovely hotel in the centre of Barcelona, it was very clean and the facilities in the room were modern. The staff were friendly and helpful. Aircon in the room worked perfectly. The roof terrace was a nice place to go and read in the sun. My only issue was that I could hear the people in the room next door. Overall I would definitely use this hotel again when visiting barcelona .

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was always ready to help and the breakfast was very good. The best thing is the proximity to so many places! We walked to Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, La pedrera, we even walked to Arco del Triunfo and to Barceloneta beach! Great location and very affordable hotel. Would definitely stay again. We read reviews mentioning the area is loud and that the air conditioning is not cool enough, we didn’t experience anything like that. The rooms were very clean, plenty of towels and even had water for us.

The property is nice and clean, staff are great. Room is too small for even 2 carryon sized bags and wifi was brutal.
