    The room was okay. We looked for a room we can get some rest as spent anyhow majority of our time in the city. Room was cleaned every day with new towels.. cannot complain. Was it high end? no.. but they also don't promote themselves as that.. For 2 starts was okay good location with some nice restaurants nearby.. as well all Metro, Bus etc just 4-5min walk.

    -On our last night, we returned to our room to find that the cleaning staff had removed the "Do Not Clean/Disturb" sign from our door and cleaned our room anyway. They left the "Do Not Clean/Disturb" sign on our desk in the room. It made me very uncomfortable! We had the sign on our door for the entirety of our stay, so I don't understand why they decided on our last day to disregard it so blatantly. -You can hear everythiiiiiing! I could hear people talking in the halls, the people in the room above us when they came in late at night, etc. -What measures are in place to ensure guests don't sneak into another room/steal from other guests???? When a guest leaves, they give the room key to reception. And when they return, they tell reception a room number and reception gives them that key. But how does reception know if they are giving the room keys to the correct guests?? Ex: If I ask for room #203 but I'm actually staying in #209, how will reception know?? This doesn't seem very safe or secure.

    The reception staff here were all incredibly friendly, professional and helpful! They were able to help with taxis, pricing and even finding some nearby vegan options on our first day! Available 24/7 and approachable. Excellent location near a metro station and Gothic Quarter. The room felt very cozy and clean. Loveee that the windows open fully for fresh air in the evening.

    It was very old and didn’t appear to have been updated for a long time. I realized belatedly that a window was cracked open (near stairs). You couldn’t tell if it was day or night. A very simple key for the door to the room.

    There was AC, WiFi (albeit weak and unavailable in the lounge), a safe box, and everything functioned. The staff was excellent - friendly and helpful.

    Breakfast was more than adequate. WIFI only worked on the ground floor. The Air Conditioning was wonderful. Nice little store right around the corner and lots of tapas places very closely. The neighborhood looked a little scary when I arrived at night but improved a great deal in the day. Easy walk to the metro.

    The AC is the only thing imI would complain about, it was kind of warm, it didn’t get cold enough. Everything else for the range of price it is well enough. Beds ok, shower ok, clean ok…. Be advised to check the ac of your room before taking it.. thank you

    Location it is great!

    Somehow I was allergic to the bedsheet... it gave me a pretty bad rash and was very ichy so I could not sleep until I covered the bedsheet with my clothe and slept on it.. I think it was from some chemical in the detergent that was used to wash.. I dont want to judge...as it could be that my skin is quite sensitive. Also..there was no proper blanket (for summer)...just a thin sheet to use..?

    The facilites and the room itself were quite ok as a hostal...staff were friendly and the location is ok.

    There was a little renovation going on to upgrade the property but no noise as this was done during the day bt there was a few materials in the landings. Also the communal washroom and toilet could do with upgrading.

    the room was very small and somewhat noise, the room does not have anti-noise window and because is near to a restaurant and bar street it can be quite noise until mid-night.

    The hostal offer private rooms with private bathroom, the room was very clean and with air conditioning, it is a good option when considering that it is a hostal.

    The WiFi and size of the rooms but cannot complain for the price.

    We loved the location and staff. They were so pleasant and accommodating. They made us feel very comfortable and made our experience even better. It was well connected to the sites and the even some sites were walkable. It is a non refundable €1 by cash only to store your luggage in a locker but can easily fit two potentially three people’s item inside.

    Breakfast was reasonable priced but not very good. The juice was basically coloured water with a bag of sugar thrown in to it. Everything was sweet and plasticky.

    I was in Barcelona to see a concert and the location was perfect! Only one and a half kms from the stadium so I could walk back. Also just 15 min walk to Plaza Espanya and Rambla. The Metro station was just 2 mins from the hotel, also loads of lovely restaurants and bars nearby. Accomodation was very basic but fine for sleep and dump your stuff.
