Although this hotel is conveniently located near the centre, it is in one of the seediest streets we found in Barcelona, and was extremely noisy all night long. Our rooms on the 4th floor (402 & 403) gave out onto an alleyway where junkies gathered every night and made an unbelievable amount of noise. Windows were not double-glazed, so it... More

Area is lively, great bar/restaurant just across the street, tucked away in a courtyard. Cafe con leche and croissant just 1.5 Euros at the bar on the corner -... More

It was extremely clean, and in a superb location (just off La Ramblas and near the metro). We found the hotel to be great value for money and the staff were... More
