My husband and I stayed for 3 nights Jan 2012. Our first sight of the narrow street when we arrived at night was a little off-putting but we encountered no problems at all during our stay. Indeed the bars and restaurants were very pleasant. We had 2 lovely meals in a local restaurant recommended by the hotel.The location of the... More

This was a last minute reservation as we had to stay additional night in Barcelona. Honestly, the location was not the greatest [please note: please be aware of your surroundings outside of the hotel] but it is within walking distance of a lot of shopping and underground metro. The Hotel and rooms are nice and clean. Staff was great and... More

Some might say that the location of this hotel was sketchy, however, we are from NYC, so the multiethnic neighborhood was fabulous. It was close to all transportation, right in the center of the Barri Gotic, and within walking distance of many major attractions.

It was spacious, clean, and modern. The hotel staff was... More

You can get better... More

Staff is kind, location is very good near the university and the art comtemporary muséum, some bars and many people in the streets the night. Maybe a bit noisy but it was ok! A place where I'll return for sure! More

We had a pleasant stay in this hotel which is located directly in the city centre of barcelona. Walking distance to the ramblas and other tourist places. THe room was VERY small and not very soundproof.. but thats ok for a city hotel where you only spent the nights. staff was ok and was able to give some nice recommendations.... More
