“Really good hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

About 150 metre's from the hustle and bustle of Las Ramlas. Really central location for a city break to discover this very beautiful city. The staff all spoke really good English which suits us lazy Brit's who dont bother to learn a foreign language. Breakfast was 1st class, all-you-can-eat buffet. The whole hotel was spottless the rooms where clean and spacious. My only down side to our 4 day trip was at night this area is a bit scary, groups of shifty looking people hanging around. I had my gold necklace snatched from around my neck on my way back to the hotel almost right outside the hotel's front door. So be careful especially at night in this district.

Room Tip: All seem to be good rooms

“great location of las ramblas”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

person found this review helpful

a little bit hard to find at first, but once you locate it you'll see how close it is to las ramblas.

was asked to pay whole amount up front, a bit unusual but that's their policy. wifi was a bit inconsistant. other wise the room was very clean, tidy and compfy.

will definitely book it again when in barcelona.

“Very Surprising”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We arrived early (10.30 am) expecting them to say our ready wasn't ready until 1pm (the official check in time) but the room was ready! I have to say it was very nice, spacious, wonderful powerful shower and all you can ask for really. The only fault was that they provide a kettle with tea bags, and sugar but no coffee or milk (apparently you had to pay extra for those?!) anyway that's a small gripe really. The staff were friendly in the main and for the price you pay it really was a bargin.

The location is amazing, just a few blocks from Las Ramblas we heard next to nothing, 5 min stroll to th nearest Metro stop (Liceu) and not really in the dodgy bit of the Ravel which we were concerned about.

i would recommend this without reservation.
