Location was excellent, walkable to Plaça de Espanya and Montjuic areas. All staff were super friendly. The triple room, however, was pretty small and the walls are very thin - you can hear people from the room beside. Bathroom was nice and modern, but lacked hangers and hand soap.

Negative: Noisy. You can hear conversations from the next room. You can hear the plumbing when it's being flushed and when furniture is being moved.

Great place for a short stay.

Great place for a short stay. Very clean, close to everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The beds were relatively comfortable. The choice of pillows was not that great, but that can be a personal preference.
