Decent affordable stay right on the boundary between eixample and ciutat vella, very convenient for people who want to explore the old town, go shopping, or go drinking in eixample. Lovely shared terrace on the first floor as well, nice for rounding out an evening with a drink.

Only plus would have been a mini fridge in the room, but there is a shared fridge in the comunal kitchen by the reception if you’re willing to leave stuff there.

The location for getting around Barcelona and being right in the centre was perfect. Tea and coffee making facilities in the communal area were useful but it would have been better in our room.

The room was a bit shabby and needed painting. The bathroom needed a revamp and some repairs to the floor where they had had a leak. Only one bedside table so we had to put items on the floor. Apartments opposite our window could look straight in unless we drew the curtains.Several.times someone was standing on the balcony looking over. The fire alarm went off twice, once we had got into bed, and there were no clear instructions as the reception was not manned after 6pm. Most people vacated their rooms and stood outside but no one knew what to do until someone from the sister hotel around the corner, gave the all clear.
