Quiet, residential neighborhood in walking distance (5 min) from 2 metro stations making it easy to visit other parts of the city.
The entry is unassuming - just a door and glass windows to see the lobby, no big sign but the name is printed on the big windows looking into the lobby. Sometimes we were standing right in front of it and my husband didn’t know we were ‘home’
Plenty of great little cafes, restaurants across the street and in the neighborhood. After 5 locals will be eating outside while their kids play in the courtyards and open spaces. It seems like a safe, comfortable working class neighborhood with lots of families.
We were able to check in about an hour early so I won’t complain that the room (bathroom) was not spotlessly clean - the decor is in whites so every speck of dust is noticeable. Towels and linens very clean.
The A/C was amazing in our room, it oscillated to feel air movement without freezing us to death. Bed was super comfortable, had a big TV. We were there mostly to relax and sleep between exhausting travel days, it was perfect.
We did venture out to La Rambla and Sagrada Família by metro. Otherwise stayed in the hotel/ neighborhood.
If you need a comfortable bed and room to sleep off jet lag and leisurely sightseeing - it is a great, affordable choice. Loved the location and the hotel as a home base during our stay. We used cabs for airport and port transportation, about 25€ per trip.
