I stayed at this hotel in Barcelona. The rooms were clean and soundproofed, but very small which was a downside. The service was friendly but unfortunately, there were issues with unfair treatment. The location was great, close to popular landmarks, but it was in the noisiest part of the street. The dining options were limited, and the hotel lacked certain amenities. Overall, a mixed experience.

Wow, this hotel is one fantastic spot for sure! Super close to some lovely restaurants and just a stone's throw from the Gaudi house, the location is amazing. The rooms are comfy with three single beds, but the dining experience is a bit basic due to current circumstances. The staff is top-notch, especially the person who quickly sorted my room key just before my travel day.

The hotel offers a cozy stay with a super comfy bed, though the room size is small and the bathroom even smaller. The location is perfect for exploring Barcelona, just minutes away from major attractions, and the service is friendly and efficient.

The hotel's location is just a few steps away from Casa Battlo and Passeig de Gracia, making it really nice for tourists to explore easily. The rooms are clean and soundproofed, offering a great urban view with very silent windows, although the super tiny TV is a drawback. The service staff were extremely helpful and kind, providing detailed explanations. The dining experience was okay but could be improved. Overall, this hotel offers a prime location and comfortable rooms.

The hotel offers a great urban view from the really neat rooms, but unfortunately, they are poorly isolated, making it hard to sleep due to noise from neighboring rooms and the street. The service was incredibly helpful and friendly, adding a warm touch to the stay. The central location was a major advantage for exploring the city, but the lack of soundproofing was a drawback. The dining options were simple but sufficient, and the morning meal was basic. Overall, a mixed experience with some standout positives and negatives.
