Stayed at this hotel for 1 night on a sightseeing trip to Barcelona with my girlfriend and I would definitely recommend it to anyone travelling on a budget to Barcelona.
I have rated it excellent because it does what I expected of it and does it really well. Of course there are more expensive and more lavish hotels around but if you are after a cheap hotel in a good location in the centre of Barcelona then this ticks all the boxes for me.
Its modern, clean, comfortable and in a pretty decent area which is a good location in terms of being close to the metro and the city centre etc. Nearest Metro is Encants which is a couple of minutes away and one stop away from the Sagrada Familia which is one of the main tourist places to check out. One stop the other way is Clot station which is on the mainline and you can get trains to and from the airport here which I would recommend. The hotel is actually walkable from Clot station too.
I booked our stay pretty much last minute through late rooms so you are always slightly apprehensive when doing it last minute but as I have said above it did exactly what we needed. Room was nice and clean, had a tv, hairdryer, air con etc. Staff were really friendly and helpful and we even got a complimentary bottle of red wine on our arrival which was a nice touch.
We didnt pay for Breakfast in advance but you can simply add it to your bill if you decide to have it, think it was about 7 euros each and is a nice little buffet with the usual fruit, pastries, bread, cheese, meats, cereal, fruit juice and also some Spanish style egg, bacon and sausages - plenty to fill you up for a day of sightseeing.
Really can't speak highly enough of this place even though we were just there for a night.
