Truthfully, the front desk was very friendly, but unfortunately that was the only benefit. The hotel is painted in the most unflattering shades of purple and orange, and the furniture is extremely old and questionably clean. The double room had two very poor single beds, and the rooms reeked of an odd smell. At sixty euro a night, the only true value to this hotel is if you are in a hurry to get to bed after a walk on las ramblas, in that it is only about a minute walk off of a side street.

We returned yesterday from a 4 night stay at this hotel. I think this is a great little hotel. The rooms are small but clean, staff were really friendly. I've paid a lot more for worse hotels. Yes they don't have plugs in the sink or bath, I didn't need one but am sure reception would help if you needed one. The rooms can be a bit noisy but I've experienced the same in other hotels.
The breakfast was basic, (bread rolls, pastry, coffee and juice) but filled us up. The location is great, it's at the top of Las Ramblas, walking distance from most sights and the Aerobus is a 2 min walk away. Getting this bus from the airport is so simple, 5 euros for a single journey and the bus stops in the placa de catalunya a 2 min walk from the hotel (they run every 10 mins!!)
We ate at the hotel one night as they do a 3 course menu including drink and service charge/vat for 10 Euros, must say this was the best meal I had during my stay and the wine I had with the meal was nice! Try the food here......
If we ever come back to Barcelona, I'd stay here again.

Seconds from Las Ramblas, basic but clean room, tiny dated bathroom with no plugs in the sink or bath and no hairdryer, it had a great balcony though. The staff were friendly, but didn't seem to know one end of Barcelona from the other. The real problem was the unbelievable noise, all of it coming from inside the building, at all hours. All in all, not an unpleasant stay, but as I value my sleep I would not be rushing back.

I stayed 1 night at the hotel. Efficient and freindly staffa at the reception, fast check in. The room itself was a bit old, but with window overlooking the yard of the Gothic chuch at the back of the hotel, so quiet and lots of light. Good clean, modern bathroom witha a bathtube and a hairdryer, spacios enough.
The location can't be better: The shuttle bus from and to the airport stops at less than a five minute walk in Plaza de Catalunya. You are two minutes away from the Rambla and on the very edge of the Barrio Gotico. Other main attractions as Palau de la Musica are only five minutes away and main Gaudi's buildings within walkable distance.
Summarizing: Not a luxury hotel at all, but very good value for yourmoney. If you want a nicer hotel, the Nouvel acros the street will do for a bunch more of euros.
