Comments: Staff are very helpful & friendly. Location is superb as just 10 min away fm Plaza Catalunya/city centre where the tourist info centre is. It is more value for money to stay in this district than La Rambla

Comments: A very clean and tidy hotel - they mop everyday and clean your bathroom with lots of chlorine! Urquinaona train station is right down stairs, so you can easily get around everywhere you might want to go in central Barcelona.

Comments: Too expensive for what you get. Staff are friendly and organised breakfast to take away our last morning. Free bottle of cava was a nice touch. New paint and linen badly needed.

Comments: The location is very good, right next to the metro. I don't think that this is value for money and is quite expensive - the breakfast is small and not fresh from the cafe next door - if you come down late then there is no fruit etc. The hotel staff are friendly and helpful. I wouldn't stay here again - but that is only because of how much it cost for such basic accomodation.

Comments: Nice location, just between the Estacion Nord (7 minutes by foot) and Plaza Cataluna (another 5 minutes). Wide choice for breakfast - any drinks (hot or soft) and any kind of food from mini sandwiches to fruit. All and all, 4+ out of 5.

Comments: Sehr gute und zentrale Lage. Hotel ist sehr klein und strahlt einen familieren Charakter aus. Frühstück ist wie in Spanien üblich etwas klein gehalten dafür aber sehr lecker. Für den Preis ist das Hotel absolut emphehlenswert und ich würde es wieder buchen...

Comments: Really friendly staff, nice and clean rooms and nice breakfast at the nice cafe just next to the hotel. Close to everything walking wise, and just next to a Metro stop. Totally recommend this hotel to others, and will definitely stay here again if I go to Barcelona one more time.

Comments: Excellent location and very friendly staff. If you are looking just for a bed and a shower this is a good option. Not so well maintained, we had to ask the room to be re-clean, not a pleasant situation but they had not issues doing it. Javier at the front desk was extremelly friendly and helpful. Barcelona is the greatest city of all. Loved it!

Comments: The hotel was centrally located with very friendly staff. My single room was clean and cute. There is also a nice common area w/ internet connection and free coffee. I think this is for people who want a quiet, inexpensive hotel w/ good location. Not a place for party people, though:-). Would definitely stay there again...

Comments: Con: I have stayed in far cleaner hostels than the room I got. For the price we paid, I definitely expected much more. The room was tiny with a view of a wall. The room felt humid and dirty. And the breakfast was not much. Pro: the location is great....the hotel is close to the metro and the main tourist center of barcelona. overall, I would not recommend anyone I know to stay here nor would I choose to stay here again.

Comments: Although the walls can be thin, and sometimes the custodial staff performed their tasks very loudly very early in the moring, for the most part the staff was very accomodating and professional. The location was great and the maintanance of the hotel was also wonderfull. I would recommend this to others definetly.
