Dated hotel but near all the attractions, in the heart of Gothic Quarter. Walls are super thin, breakfast is ok, no gym. Front desk staff was amazing; were able to converse in English and help us with directions and tips.

The room was nice and comfortable. Breakfast buffet was great! Better instructions for checking in when you bring a vehicle is needed. It’s best to park in a garage and walk to hotel to check in because there is no good place to park your car when checking in.

Dear Guest,We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the external noise. Being located in the city center offers the opportunity to enjoy iconic places such as the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas, Paseo de Gracia, and the most important cathedrals, as well as proximity to Barceloneta beach. However, we understand that the vitality of the nightlife may not be ideal for all our guests. For future stays, we have interior rooms available that could offer a quieter environment, subject to availability at the time of your reservation. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to offer you a more pleasant experience in our hotel group. Warm regards.

Dear guest,Thank you for your comments. Indeed, our hotel offers services in accordance with its category and applicable legal regulations. We understand there might be expectations regarding certain amenities such as irons, bathrobes, and slippers; these are not standard in all rooms but are available upon request at reception for special needs. We do not have a bar as our location offers a wide variety of dining and entertainment options, but as you mentioned, we do provide vending machines for the convenience of our guests. The herbal tea bags are a welcome gesture for the day of arrival. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more satisfactory experience in the future.Sincerely,

Clean and basic hotel with nice staff but not extra frills. It is very close to all relevant things in the Gothic Quarter. However, due to location it can be a bit noisy in the early hours. Particularly if they place you in a street facing room.

Great location & Staff
For unknown reason we were given a handicapped room which was likely larger but inconvenient in some ways. the bed pillows were not great and the shower was horrible. It was a large shower with a linen shower curtain so the entire bathroom floor ended up wet and with only 2 towels provided it required a call for additional every time we showered. No counter space on bathroom sink was also inconvenient. Staff and location was awesome however. The large terrace was also nice.

From the minute we arrived to when we left the staff couldn't do enough to help. We had a room on the fifth floor with a lovely private patio area. There was a bit of street noise overnight and the cathedral bells chiming every quarter hour occasionally got a bit annoying at 4am (!) but you can't blame the hotel for that. A lovely stay.

We booked this hotel for a 1 night stay after a 15 day trans-Atlantic cruise. We arrived early and were happily greeted by the front desk and were accommodated an early check-in. Our room was on the 4th floor and faced the street. Room was very clean and had beautiful veranda doors that opened completely. I have read other reviews about the noise, but it didn't bother us. The hotel is in the middle of all the action. We slept with the doors wide open with no issues. I was pleasantly surprised by the rain shower with rock floor in the bathroom. Oh so needed after a day of walking around Las Ramblas. The hotel offers breakfast buffet for 10 EUR per person. The selection is great for that price. Overall a great night stay in Barcelona

The hotel location was great. Our room had a large private terrace. The only complaint I have with the hotel was the street noise and the cathedral bells. The bells dinged every 15 minutes and counted the hours. This dinging was all day and night. After a couple of days you kinda get use to the bells but not completely. Aside from the bells, everything was great.
