The location of this hotel is great. We stayed one night after our cruise. The hotel is very basic but clean and reasonably priced. The staff is wonderful. Very accommodating. English is a second language for them and our Spanish/Catalan is very limited and we were able to communicate well. Word of warning. If you do not travel "light", our... More

The hotel has a great location for Barcelona sightseeing. To the Barceloneta beach, one can walk in 15-20 min. The Zoo and Cuitadela Park are situated nearby. Many sights, including Gothic Quarter, Catalonia Square, Ramblas and the port are not far, too. Metro station Arc de Triomphe (about 300 m from the hotel) enables you to go to the other... More

This is a family run operation, and has been in the neighborhood a long time. Locals gather regularly for coffee in the AM and wine and tapas at night. You quickly feel like a part of the neighborhood. The staff was very friendly - even when you didn't speak Spanish/Catalon (and they, English) - they were helpful, and made you... More

The location of the hotel was brilliant-very close to the Gothic Quarter, metro stop about 5 minutes walk from the hotel, beach was about 15 minutes walk. The hotel itself was basic, but clean, modern rooms with bathroom and air conditioning. Perfect place to stay if you just want somewhere basic and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend it to... More

I stayed here whilst on a tight budget, taking a bit of chance because of its poor rating. It was ideal. Located just away from main touristy area but within easy walking distance of El Born, Barri Gotic, La Rambla, the port, etc. For the price, you could not have asked for more. Two of us sharing a twin room... More

The location was very good and central. The staff in the morning and evening were very helpful. Though the staff at the reception in the evening did not speak any English, we were able to communicate using Google translate :) However, if you land here during lunch time (when the restaurant is busy) - the service is terrible and it...

We stayed her for just one night. The rooms are very small and the bathroom even tinier. However the windows overlooked the beautiful Ciudadela Park. The restaurant at the hotel is a great palce for a drink, or breakfast. We chose this hotel for its close proximity to Estacion de Nord (bus station) which was a short walk away and... More

Great! this little hotel is just perfect from the staff to the food, location, and ambience. Can't wait to return to Barcelona and stay with them again. The best tapas in Barcelona. Have recommended to friends who have also stayed there and loved it. Lobster soup .. go for it! More

Our taxi found it easily. It occupies the ground and mezzanine floors of a 7-8 storey apartment block. The rooms are on the first (mezzanine) floor and the restaurant occupies the ground floor. Only 19 rooms, so cosy and personal. Our room had piped in AC and so it was quiet cool air (that is a big bonus). The room... More
