Not to our standard. You have to climb 25 steps with luggages before reaching the elevator. The room very small for 3 people no window looks like a storeroom and clostophobic and dusty under the bed. Air conditioning very poor. Will not recommend to stay here. The staff are the only compliment we got.

Great location

The hotel is really nice, super location. I can see where the stairs could be a little tough for people, I had no issues with them, as it is just one flight to the front desk and then there was an elevator. The rooms are super tiny, but had everything we needed, bathroom was very nice. Could not have been happier with our choice to stay there

Right at the heart of La Rambla, so pretty expensive for its value. You can hear the loud noise of Rambla streets until the crack of dawn. It takes a lot of time for taxis to come since the location is pretty tricky
