4/10 Fair

Pros: The receptionist was wonderful. She was the only good positive of this stay. Cons: everything was very dusty and dirty, and the room terrace was unusable. The reception has limited hours, which causes both checkin and checkout problems. The neighborhood is near two metro lines but not the nicest (cleanest). It's very expensive for what it is. Recommendation for those considering their Barcelona stays: everything central is pricey and subpar (unless you really can afford high-end), and the central areas are super crowded. So consider staying in a hotel slightly off the center but on the metro line since the major attractions are spread out anyhow and you will need to use public transport.

Stayed here 3 nights - were warmly welcomed by Paulina, at the front desk. She gave us lots of good advice, including additional places to visit and where not to go. She was always happy and smiling to see us. We ate at Amigo’s just across the street, at her recommendation, and loved the experience. Close to the Metro, and very walkable to a lot of the sites.

2/10 Poor

Terrible 3 person room was dirty and woke covered in bedbug bites. Shower was broken and did not work. Staff unfriendly and unhelpful. Needed to spend hours with Orbitz to cancel our 2nd night and had to wash everything to get rid of bugs the next day. Found great hotel in Plaza Goya with 3 beds and balcony for half the cost that had interior garden and great shower/amenities. Wonderful staff at the other hotel. Would not recommend hotel balconis for anyone.

The bed was so HARD. the pillows were horrendous dirty pilled up. Honestly the worst bed in any hotel in my life. It was also very warm in the room. No ac controls and no fan.

6/10 Good

Clean room and good/safe location , however didn’t like that we could hear every room around us - even until the early hours of the morning. The wifi didn’t work and I barely had my own service. The staff at the desk also tried to make us pay for the tourist tax with cash - on two occasions as we didn’t have cash the first time. We did not want to pay with cash

We had a lovely stay. The hotel is beautiful, the room is spacious and the location is fantastic. Just wished the emergancy number after 5pm could be reached also by whatsapp and not call only as one night we didn't have hot water after a long day of walking in the heat, and had no one to talk to since we only had internet package, so that was unpleasent, but other than that all was very good

Great place to stay
We enjoyed our stay there...it would have been handy to have a small bin in the bedroom.. but that's only a small suggestion to improve it... The receptionist was really helpful & friendly

Very central, grocery just below. Lots of roadworks around though. Strange shower arrangement, more like a wet room, but spacious.

We were greeted with great kindness. One of our 3 arrived much earlier than check in and the staff was kind to get the room ready and let her drop off her bags. The larger bed was comfortable and the personal patio was a nice addition to the larger community patio. Easy location to get a taxi and get everywhere in Barcelona with ease. A mini fridge would have made it a 5 star review!

4/10 Fair

The facilities were not great as it stated we had air conditioning although there was no control panel and quite warm in room. The beds were quite uncomfortable and walls very thin could hear entire conversations through the wall. No lock on inner door which felt unsafe. The housemaid also would enter our room even though we had the do not disturb sign on the door. Found a couple hairs around the room also so cleanliness wasn’t up to standard. Electrics were a bit dodgy tried to use straighteners but lights started flickering and charger stopped working although worked in other places. However the location was good as next to metro and the lady at reception was very friendly always said hello as we walked past. Overall would not stay again as place seemed very cheap for what we paid (£600). Felt as though a hostel would be better option if looking for accommodation in future as better value for money.

Walls are paper thin so would advise you bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Staff however was very nice and helpful. Location is pretty good. Both walkable and near public transport. The only issue for us were past comments about bed bugs which made us nervous to sleep there. We did end up walking away bite free so I think this issue has been resolved

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for the cost. Modest, clean accommodations for travelers like me that just need a good bed to rest and a decent bathroom. Very well located just 2/3 blocks off the Aerobús stop and closer to the metro station. We saw public busses also pass by frequently but didn’t use them. Toward the south of the hotel is an immigrant area of town, very culturally diverse. Towards the north (Gran Via) more traditional Spanish vibes. We noticed a lot of young college aged people around. I think there is a University nearby. It is not perfect. Bathroom shower door had a strange design that allow for water to easily splash of bathroom floor and A/C as I come to learn is customary here, will keep room fresh but not cold as some of us from US expect. It was not uncomfortable but it was different from expectations. I would recommend it.
