Beautiful room and great value
I have booked many one-night stays near the city center of Barcelona during the past few years, and this hotel was by far my favorite. My spacious room had a beautiful 'sunroom' with lots of windows, in addition to the sleeping area and bathroom. This hotel offers many small comforts and conveniences: I really appreciated having a desk and a mini-fridge, and the bed was comfortable. Good shower with hot water. The hotel has a common area with an electric teakettle and microwave, which is also much appreciated and made for a more comfortable and convenient stay. It was very nice to have a self-service laundromat a half-block away so that I could do my laundry before packing my suitcase for my flight home to the United States. The distance from Plaza Catalunya (and the airport bus) is a bit farther than other comparably priced hotels in the area, but I think the size and quality of the rooms more than makes up for the extra walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

It was a bit hard to find the front desk to check-in, more details provided beforehand would be useful. Area is fantastic. Room was neat and had a great balcony. Staff was helpful.

It is a very old building and the noise isolation is poor, we can hear everyone speaking in next room. The bathroom has up to date shower room and toilet bowl that is a credit for this hostel

Great low-budget option for Barcelona!
This hotel is located right in Eixample, right in the center of the city. The room was very comfortable, clean spacious and had a balcony. Wifi worked great and it had an AC and small radiator. (I think the refrigerator holders could be cleaned though.) There was no bathroom in this room, but it was down the hall and I never needed to wait to use it because I was one of the few guests on my floor. Reception check-in was quick, friendly and hands-off. The entrance is a bit hard to enter for someone with mobility issues because you need to step through the small door and there are some small stairs to enter the building, but there is an elevator. I would definitely stay here again.

On the plus side, the room was clean with fresh linens every day, bathroom was spotless and cleaned daily, the staff were friendly and non-instrusive, and the place is centrally located so there are great things to see and do with easy access to all transportation. It had air conditioning as well. On the negative side, this tiny room was much more expensive for what you get, compared to anywhere in North America. My first thought was "Geesh, do people in Spain really live like this?" The room was very small, with two single beds squeezed side by side, no chairs, no dresser, just a single desk sitting on top of a mini-fridge. No stove or microwave in the room, you had to share appliances out in the "lobby" of the hotel. My son and I only planned to sleep there, so that was okay, but certainly you would not have a meal in the room or entertain any guests! Very little space in the tiny room. And Spanish people DO live better than this -- our next hotel in Grenada was much, much nicer, with a pool, and at half the price. Soooo... maybe look for a nicer place in Barcelona. Unless all you need is a clean bed and toilet. (But I will say, the staff were very friendly and did a great job keeping the place clean. So kudos to them!)

The room is basic but very functional. It would be nice if we were given a room with a view as ours has no window. Our room was tidied and cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided. A bit of a walk from the center. Needs few more sockets for charging in the room.
