This ultra budget hotel is located just a four minute walk from La Ramblas in the historic Gothic Quarter! My single room was very small but very clean with a quality safe, A/C, a nice little bathroom and a window with sad views into a tiny, unattractive six story inner court. Very secure, I think this 48 room business was just a part of an old time apartment complex and the 24 hour reception is on the second floor. The door to the street was always locked as was a door at the end of my hall and the door to my room. For me a great inconvenience was always having to leave my key at the front desk every time I went out, and then having to be buzzed in and reclaim my key to return to the room. Although people of all ages seemed to stay there the place really seems more like a Hostal. The friendly staff all seemed to speak English and my room was promptly made up daily with fresh towels. Really the location is excellent and the prices very good for Barcelona. Expect nothing at all fancy and be prepared for clean, very basic, budget accomodation and you will not be disappointed!
