It was great and I would definitely stay here again ! The area around it is a little more urban and it looks kinda sketchy on the outside, but the inside is fantastic for the price !

Nice staff and hostel, use whatsapp

The hostel was clean and felt fresh. The staff was super friendly and really sweet. One problem was the communication before the trip, it took long for them to answer on the hotels app and email. However, they did answer pretty quick on whatsapp, so would definitely recommend whatsapp.

Very basic hotel, with ac hardly working which is a must for Barcelona in the summer
Eva maria, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Basic stay at a great location.

A cheap place to stay, it was clean and the location was good. Walking distance to most sightseeing spots in the city, affordable restaurants around. Metro station was close too. The room was very basic, the front desk too. Room gave impression of being 30 years behind today. No elevator might be good to know. :)
Evelina, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Room was very small with no storage and seemed run down. Lots of street noise. Shelves in the closet didn’t seem strong enough to hold suitcases. Service was decent but not great.

Hôtel situé à 5 minutes de la place d’Espagne et en face du métro. Le personnel est très sympathique et très professionnel. Si vous avez décider de ne pas passer vos journées à l’hôtel, vous pouvez y séjourner pour dormir avec un rapport qualité/prix excellent. Je recommande cette petite adresse.

Muy buen lugar, la chica de recepción fue muy amable en todo momento. Lo que podría mejorar es la limpieza ya que al llegar a la habitación tenía un olor raro

Johan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

部屋は小さいけど清潔でした。 共有のバスルームについて少し心配でしたが、使いたい時にだれかとかぶることは一切なく常に清掃が行き届いており快適でした。 お湯も熱いくらい出ましたしシャワーはハンドシャワーで水圧も申し分ありませんでした。 一点、ビルが突然停電となってしまい途方に暮れる一幕がありました。 スタッフの方もすごく焦ってました。 幸い3時間程度で復旧しましたが英語が話せるスタッフが常駐してないので、なかなか状況が確認できませんでした。 そのため停電の原因は不明です。

Accueil incroyable personnel très gentils et toujours disponibles pour toute questions. Bien situé a 15 min a pied de la rambla. Arrêt de métro et de bus juste en face. Commerce et restaurants a proximité.

Great location and nice staff. Clean room. Thin walls and slow response when trying to reach the hotel through the Hotels.com app messenger. Other than that it was great.

Hotel bien situado, barato pero lamentablemente muy ruidoso. Tanto el ruido de las cañerías, como las puertas hacían mucho ruido. Para pasar una noche es pasable. La atención de la recepción fue buena y agradable.
