We like the hotel, it was right for the price, basic but clean, breakfast was with options and enough variety with protein, pastry, fruit, jams etc. neighborhood was lively and a bit to much at first sight but we did not feel unsafe with enough families around and different restaurants. Specially tapas places at the street behind the hotel were nice. Thank you for a nice and safe stay.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I made an almost last minute reservation not researching hotels as much as I usually do, merely choosing it because of its location and price. However, the hotel turned out to be very nice, clean, and recently renovated. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, And, I even got a room upgrade.

Surprisingly when we arrived at the hotel we weren’t even greeted by the two receptionists. Not even a good evening let alone a smile or a welcome phrase. Even though I did check online for which I had a confirmation email the receptionist kept insisting that I did not do so and wouldn’t even take a second to look at the email confirmation which I was trying to show him. Hence the check in took very long which we really weren’t very pleased to go through because it was almost midnight and we were travelling with kids. However the breakfast was good and the staff down there was nice and polite. Another thing which we didn’t expect was the construction that was going on at the hotel’s first floor where the breakfast room was located. The location of the hotel was good having a lot of dining options around. Wouldn’t praise the cleaning at all, the bathroom needs some deep cleaning. Overall I would not go back there if ever again in Barcelona.

Great hotel and so pleased with our find. Really great location near to metro stations and approx 15 mins walk down to the marina and 20ish mins to La Rambla. All staff on reception were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast delicious with lots of choice. Room was spotlessly clean and beds made up during our stay. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone thinking of going to Barcelona.
