I'm judging this on a hotel scale, not a hostel scale. To say the rooms are tiny is an understatement. Cruise ship rooms are bigger. It's also not cheap. The area is under intense construction. There was a jack hammer going off at 7 am 10ft (4 meters) from my pillow! Having to carry our bags up 4 staircases to check in was something I could do without. Thank God we were only there 1 night!
This is the WHOLE room! Taken from the doorway.

Eco friendly sparse room with nice functional design that at the same time felt homey. Great for travelers focused on what’s outside the hotel. Friendly staff. Right on the Ramble by the Metro

Booked online to stay here during a brief stopover in Barcelona, and boy did I luck out in terms of being right in the middle of the action! I walked everywhere I needed to go, and it is right above a metro station. Yes it was noisy on the street at night (and until dawn, really), and the street is all torn up out front, but the convenience for someone visiting the city for the first time made up for it. The room was good and the staff helpful when I needed them. The breakfast was just meh for 10€, but I’m an American used to eggs, pancakes, etc. Would definitely return.

Great location, hotel not so great.

The location is great, just off Las Rambles. It was over priced for what it had to offer. The reception is not on ground level and you need to carry your bags up a few flights of stairs to get to reception. From there you are able to use a lift up to room. The room was extremely small. The bathroom was also small but the shower was in the same area with basin and toilet with no shower curtain. It was very small and at each shower everything got wet making floor slippery. The air conditioning was just OK but we weren’t there at the hottest time. There was no safe. The reception staff were helpful.

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.
