Let me start by saying the staff was wonderful! They were very nice and helpful. The property was pretty clean and all requests were dealt with in a timely manner. It is in a great area with many local restaurants that provide great food and reasonable prices since it is not in a tourist area. Bus and Metro station were within walking distance. The downfalls of the property were that Expedia showed they had laundry facilities. That is untrue. There is a Laundromat around the corner. However, if you wish to use the laundry service the hotel provides, it is ridiculously expensive (over 4 euros just for 1 pair of underwear). This can quickly add up to more than what you pay for the room itself. Not to mention your clothes will be sent off site and it could take a few days to get them back. The shower stall is tiny making it very hard to shower. If you are a woman, it is nearly impossible to shave. The linens were of very poor quality, bedding and towels both. I would stay there again while in Barcelona due to the fact that the staff was incredible and the location is perfect if you want a safe way to see the real culture of Spain.
