From the hotel writing me many, many messages requesting payment, instead of hotels.com to the worst hotel stay in 30+
Years of travel. No window, unable to control temperature, extremely thin walls with elevator noise all night, yelling, screaming, people having sex to a toilet that ran continuously, hard bed, two wimpy pillows, one small bath towel, a hair dryer held together with tape not to mention the odor poorly masked by a strong powdery scent that cause of throat irritation.

The rooms smell like they are fumigated (although speaking to locals it may be used in plumbing to counter sewage smells). It is a very strong/pronounced chemical smell.
The units do not have local AC units, my room was hotter at night than external/ambient temp.. 21.5-22C vs high teens outside. I tried 2 rooms.

In a wonderful area! We loved staying there, staff was super friendly and helpful. Room was smaller than we expected and the Walls are thin and it can get very noisy as people are coming in and out. Overall it was perfect!

Hotel very clean. But make sure your room if a solo traveller is not next to the lift. Definitely a no no if you are a light sleeper people coming in until 5 am and starting to leave at 6.30am. But staff very pleasant. Would definitely stay again but not in a room next to the lift

Avoid, pictures seem nice ut is old and smells like drain through the night.
Expensive for the type of hotel.
Not recommended, not even if you are a bagpacker.

The property is in a GREAT location in the Gothic Quarter. It is tucked away in a quiet, out-of-the-way side street. Quite romantic and atmospheric. SAFE. About a five-minute walk from the boulevard known as Las Ramblas. And about a five-minute walk from the Placa Reil. I am going to book there again. Believe me. I am.

Great little hotel tucked away in gothic area of Barcelona. Easy walking around.
Only complaint is pricey
5.0 / 10.0
Hotel is in a convenient area, close to anything you might be interested in. The worst part of our stay were the mattresses, you could hear the springs when you moved, other than that it was a great hotel because of the location and service.

I have stayed at several hundred hotels across Europe and the world, and this is easily one of the worst. They said they have only 3 rooms with windows (like the photo they advertise), the rest are dark and without windows. The first room was behind the elevator (with an elevator access port in the wall, and it had black mold in the bathroom. The hotel would not put us in another room until one of the same type became available on the second night. So we stayed elsewhere the first night, without refund. They did offer us a different room on the second night, and it was slightly better. For one, the bathroom did not have mold. The walls of this hotel are too thin…you hear everything both inside and outside, and it is in a noisy area. The entire place has a stench that has been poorly covered up with some type of fragrance….just awful. We ordered a taxi for the morning, and after three attempts and 40 minutes realized their service is unreliable. As a result we were late to the airport…but just made our flight. SO many better places to stay…do yourself a favor.

Was what we expected for the price. Would say though the beds were very uncomfortable and we could hear every movement and conversation on our floor.Overall was in a good location for getting around and the room was kept clean.

The place is great for short stays in Barcelona. The room is very clean and comfortable. It lacks a window but it seems to be standard in Barcelona. Overall, I would stay here again.

Perfect spot for just a bed, almost like a private roomed hostel. It was perfect for me. I only use hotel room for sleeping, the rest of my time is exploring.

Very different but someone really spent time designing the hotel. Rooms are small but have tv, a/c and bathroom. It is located in the Gothic district near the town hall. Lots of restaurants nearby. Wish the room would have had a little kettle for morning tea or coffee. Staff pleasant
2.0 / 10.0
The location is great but our room had a smell of sewer, room has AC but it is set to 23 and you’re unable to change the setting so we’d wake up in sweat. Shower is slippery, our first night while in the shower I slipped and fell, hit my shoulder and head , I sent my husband to the front desk to get an ice pack but the lady at the front desk said they didn’t have ice, following morning when we went down, I mentioned to the older guy at the front desk that their shower is slippery, that I had fallen and hit my head hard, all I got was “ we’ll look into it”, no apology, didn’t even ask if I was ok. There is a sign at the front desk to order taxi to go to airport, please do not, you can easily get a taxi at the plaza, just a few steps from hotel, if you order a taxi to pick you up at the hotel, you’ll get charged additional 7.10€ before you even get on the taxi.

Rooms pictured in advertising are false. Rooms were not even as big as our ship statesroom. Every time toilets in our room or neighboring rooms were flushed the shower gurgled loudly ! Walls paper thin and we could hear conversations in the hall and other rooms on our floor.
