I didn’t expect the room to be as good as it was in person they gave us a nice balcony room and the room is small and cozy and well decorated and they gave us a cava bottle for our honey moon. Very cool room our bathroom was across the hallway with our own code to enter bathrobe was nice n clean very modern . I will come back 🇪🇸
The room was perfect! The shared kitchen was incredible and the roof top garden was beautiful! The front desk staff went above and beyond to make sure I found the place without any problems. They made me feel so at home. The location is super! Close to the metro and the train station. I cant wait to visit again.
The room was very small but the bed was great. The staff were very kind and let me leave my luggage. The breakfast options were minimal, but there are many restaurants around.

Manager was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Perfect place to stay in Barcelona near cruise port.
My son and I had a wonderful stay at this pension. The location was excellent, everything was clean and well-kept, and the staff/owners were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely recommend it and look forward to returning in the future.
This property exceed my expectations. Small but starting with the staff, the young lady that takes care of front desk and housekeeping is beyond amazing. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They offer fruits and muffing, they have a small area with a fridge and microwave outside of the rooms for the guest convenience. The room has a small balcony, hair dryer, extra pillow and blanket... I truly was happy with the attention and cute rooms. The location is perfect. You have a bunch of restaurants in less than 2 minutes walking and you also has The Ciudadela park 5 minutes walking, Barceloneta beach is like 10 minutes walking and 16 minutes to la Rambla... Everything is close... Give this property a chance unless that you are looking for big rooms like suites, this will do the job and is clean. The owners are very nice.
This is a great little pension in a good location a short walk from Las Ramblas and close to Metro links.
The staff are really nice and helpful and there is information available in the small communal kitchen which houses tea and coffee and a supply of fruit etc as well as a microwave oven.
The place is spotlessly clean and evwrything works very well.
The roof terrace was a real bonus ona sunny day with chairs and tables available to take a picnic lunch etc.
I would 100% recommend if you want a Pension style accommodation close to main sightseeing points.
The room was smaller than expected as in the corner of the floor plan. This was a large flat made into 6 Bed and Breakfast rooms. Unfortunately we booked the room without a bathroom. This was absolutely not stated when we booked but it did say private bathroom. Aren't they all. But not so private if you have to use the facilities 2 to 3 times per night. The guest house was pretty good with this only exception of the bathroom. Good location, clean, coffee available and limited snacks. I'd recommend but don't book room 4
This property was about what you would expect for the price. The room is exceptionally small. We were placed in the wrong room and then asked to move after we had unpacked all of our things, but otherwise the staff are friendly. Again--the room are amusingly small (we took a picture for our friends), so if you have a lot of luggage, this might not be the most appropriate lodging choice.
We were happy with the room, the balcony was a nice touch and the rooftop was lovely. The only issue was the taxi let us out 2 blocks away claiming he couldn't get closer and we had no idea how to get there. Luckily we ran into some English speaking locals that directed us. Our instuctions were to enter the code and walk into reception, but there was no reception at that level. Turns out you needed to take the elevator up, and that information would have been helpful. However we were very happy with the cleanliness of the room, the staff and the location.
I was pleasantly surprised as I was not expecting much but it was wonderful. I was greet and shown the apartment , living area, and told all the things I needed to know for the weekend.
Close to a train station (across the road) lots of restaurants, easy walking to Marina a beach.
Room had a double bed even though it was a single. No window except for ventilation. Bathroom was modernized. Had some storage and some new slippers… which I used all 24 days!
Elevator was great. Aldi across from front door.
Would stay again but would definitely book a view.
