Our room was basic but clean and tidy and that's all we wanted and expected. You can hear guests from other rooms and in the hallway.Ī very pleasant stay, we arrived late at night and the woman on reception was polite and spoke great English. I cannot even imagine the inferno the room will be in the summer months. When we returned at midnight, the room was still hot & this was May.

The owner suggested we leave the key in the outlet totally disregarding my comment that we had done exactly that - left one of the keys in the outlet all day. The room was still hot when we returned early evening. We had left one of our keys, which work the outlets, plugged in the entire day. The thermostats in the room don’t control the temperature in the rooms. Other travelers there during our stay had a similar experience - wasting a lot of time trying to check in or drop-off bags. In speaking with other guests & even the hotel staff at another nearby accommodation, this is a frequent event. Someone should man the desk during normal business hours, 9-5. There was a sign on the door stating the hotel would be closed until after the day we had a reservation to check in. A phone call ended in a hang up on their end. We sent multiple WhatsApp messages & could see that they had been received, but there were no responses even though I requested responses. We wasted a lot of time the day of check-in. Check in is at 3:00, no one was even available to leave luggage. The reception is open only from 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

1) When we arrived there was no one available to let us in. I’ll be wary to go by ratings again for accommodations I find on this website and other popular travel websites. I’m still baffled as to the high ratings on this website and other travel websites. I would not stay here again & therefore would not recommend this hotel. Cons: Lack of communication no sound proofing between rooms & halls AC didn't work. Pros: Great location beautiful, clean modern rooms great coffee, lovely appointed kitchen that guests may use. Definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere to stay whilst sight seeing in Barcelona. The rooms are definitely a 3 star hotel but with the lovely staff and location I have given this 4 stars. Vending machines on a couple of the floors with snacks and drinks if needed but lots of supermarkets just across the road too. There is a lovely roof terrace on the top floor which is nice for chilling in the sun. There is a fridge in the room but was no kettle (as a Brit this was a little disappointing) but I actually realised towards the end of my stay that they do have kettles and you just need to ask. Double bed, bathroom with shower, open hanging rail and shelves for clothes. The hotel room itself is basic but was perfect for what I needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful, providing me with a map of Barcelona when checking in and always available to answer any questions. Despite being on the Main Street the hotel is quiet and I had no problem sleeping at night. Good mix of both British and Spanish shops and eateries locally. Many of the sights are within walking distance including many of the museums. Right on the Main Street with easy access to restaurants, shops, the metro and we’ve gothic quarter.
