Karen

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The position was great, easy walk to most things and close to transport. The hotel was ok. Considering the cost of the shoulder season room, there could have been more amenities. As a solo traveler, the room size was fine, would have been a struggle with 2 people. The AC is not controllable in the room as it a central cooling/heating system so I had to ask for an extra doona as my room was freezing. There is no safe or fridge in the room, which is disappointing. You can access a safe in reception but that’s quite inconvenient. No fridge meant I couldn’t buy any snacks that needed refrigeration. The room doors need to be adjusted as they slam when closing. I found it very annoying to have doors banging at all hours of the night. The room cleaner was excellent. The coffee/tea break out area was also good. Would I stay there again? Probably not, I’d shop around first.

If you like funky, this hotel is for you. The location can’t be beat, in the thick of the historic district of Barcelona. Food, food and more food choices literally at the hotel’s doorstep. Their breakfast offering was just a notch above basic, with scrambled eggs and bacon in addition to the usual cold offerings. Their small patio offers cold drinks after a hot day sightseeing. Beware, as their Sangria packs a punch! Friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend wholeheartedly. Pedro Canada

Good stay
It was a good short break hotel. The communal areas were an added bonus. We would have liked a refrigerator in our room and the toilet and shower arrangement quirky/odd. Staff were very friendly. The rope curtains outside each room were fun to look at, but not practical.

Very friendly staff. Had problem with shower drain and they fixed it on the second day. Location is convenient and hip, but also a little grungy and not particularly quiet. Did not have breakfast but looked very nice (recommend Picnic restairant right nearby). Really nice to have water refill, tea, etc. in common area. Not a fan of the design - hanging plastic rope curtains in hallways and the rooms - would be much nicer if those were removed and could see more of the beautiful old building and have a clear hallway. Also the creative design of glass showers in the middle of the room may not appeal to all, but if you are into the unusual, may be just right for you.

This hotel is good for one night or 2. What we liked was the location, close to metro (7 min walk), restaurants, bars. 20 min walk to nearest beach. Plenty of taxis available. Room wise - the matrass is firm and comfortable, pillows are awefull. 1 electricity socket not secure in the wall and exposing wiring, very dangerous; staff said the maintenance guy will repair but never did. Storage is very limited, just a rack with 5 hangers for your clothes. if you have 2 large suitcases it makes room very cramped; no rail for towels to dry; The room has no coffee maker or kettle; A shared area has a coffee machine, water, fridge, microwave. The coffee is really good Shower is spacious but has only fixed shower head only showerdoor doesn't close properly so water goes everywhere. The neighbourhood seems nice and safe but it's not; we got robbed on the mainstreet near the hotel and ended up in hospital. Be aware in Barcelone

"Chic and Basic" is a very accurate description. Prime location in the Born, surrounded by countless boutiques and restaurants and bars, close to the subway, lots of taxis and rental bicycles available. The rooms are redesigned to photograph well, with mirror walls and a dramatic cylindrical glass shower separating the bedroom from bath area. Bed was comfy, AC worked well in the hot/humid climate. Basic, though - no desk or workspace, no closet but a skeleton rack for hanging clothes, only 2 plate-sized shelves and no countertop or drawers in the bathroom. This meant leaving suitcases, backpacks, toiletry kits etc. all over the floor, which had stained and loose tiles in the bathroom area. 6 towels/handcloths, 2 tiny hooks. A common room down the hallway provided filtered water, coffee, and ice, but the coffee machine and ice maker were not always operational.

The hotel is weird. It’s supposed to be creative and inventive. There are funny little sayings on the walls, the package the soap is in, and the like. There is a curtain made ol beads in front of each room and, for some reason, in the middle of the room between the bed and the WC. The basic idea of the hotel is quite traditional, however. Take a beautiful old building and divide it into as many small rooms as you can, to maximize your profits when you rent them out. The hotel room is ridiculously tiny, with barely enough room to open your suitcase and put it on the floor, leaving no room to walk about, no chair, no couch, and no clever compartments to put things away. Plus, the wi-fi in our room did not work. The manager gave us a discount, which was fair, but wi-fi would have been better. The staff is very nice and friendly and the neighborhood is great. But I would not stay in the small room again
