Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is amazing and excellent, with very clean and comfortable rooms. However, there was a sewer smell in the room for two days, and the night shift staff member was unhelpful and unpleasant. The bed was extremely hard, almost like sleeping on the floor.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter with easy access to major attractions. However, the room facing the courtyard was quite noisy, especially in the evening and throughout the night. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to offer helpful directions and ensure I had a great stay. The dining experience lacked variety and quality, though the fresh seafood was a highlight. The facilities were basic but functional.
The hotel is located in the vibrant Gothic Quarter, near La Rambla, offering a lively and convenient Barcelona experience. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, though occasionally needing a bit of fresh air. The service is relaxed and resourceful, but lacks consistency at times. The dining is satisfactory but could use some improvements. Overall, a great value stay in the heart of the city.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was very central, close to Las Ramblas, and the main street in the Old Town district, offering easy access to explore the heart of Barcelona. However, the night reception area was in a glum side street, and the night receptionist gave a dark and dingy impression. The room was clean and tidy, providing a quiet stay despite being in an inner courtyard. The service was excellent overall, although the strong perfume smell to cover up moldy/mildewy scents in the room was a downside. The dining options were ok but not great, offering continental breakfast without fruits or warm options. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, with no significant standout features.
The hotel is centrally located, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms are spacious, but some have a strong sewer smell issue. The service was friendly overall, but a few encounters were less pleasant. The location is fantastic with easy access to popular landmarks. The dining options were basic, and the hotel lacked some modern facilities.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were very good, just like our twin room on the other side of the block. Clean, comfortable, and exactly as described online. The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of everything with easy access to shops, pubs, restaurants, and public transportation. However, the dining options were a bit limited, with better places nearby. The service was top-notch, where nothing was too much trouble, and the staff were friendly and professional. Overall, a great value for the money.
The hotel provided a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but there was a persistent sewer smell that affected the overall quality of the stay. The service was friendly and helpful, although the excessive use of perfume to cover up moldy odors was off-putting. The location was excellent, right in the bustling Gothic area near La Rambla, making it convenient for sightseeing. The dining options were basic, offering a satisfactory start to the day. However, the noise levels at night were disruptive, affecting sleep quality.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-designed, offering a quiet retreat with a small balcony. The service was top-notch, with a very helpful and friendly staff. The location couldn't have been better, right next to Plaça Reial and just steps away from the vibrant Rambla. The dining experience was acceptable but basic. Overall, a great value for the money.
Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were really clean and comfortable, and I loved having a balcony and air conditioning, although there was a faint but off-putting chemical smell present. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely helpful and cheerful, especially with information about transportation to the airport. The location couldn't have been better, being right next to Plaça Reial in the heart of El Gothic, making it easy to explore Barcelona. The dining options were decent, offering a variety of breakfast choices including cheese, meat, oatmeal, croissants, and muffins, although I wished for more gluten-free options. Some facilities were lacking, but I found the overall value for money great.
