Don’t stay here. The place was terrible. Might be central but that’s it. Room had no windows, and they charged me 2 times for the stay. Need to despute my credit card now. Told me what I payed on Hotels.com wasn’t valid and sent me a secondary pay portal. Room was tiny. Look at photo.

Since it is in the old historic area of the city the room was quite small but for a single traveler was adequate. The room and property were really clean and front staff very helpful. Great location and short walking distances to most attractions and transportation. No control over the adjacent properties/apartments but middle of the night drunk party goers could disrupt your sleep and tranquility. from nearby residences.

Expected more - but it was adequate

The hotel seemed good value for the central location and time of year. The area however is a hot bed for the unfortunate homeless of Barcelona so the area is heavy with people eating from the trash, rough sleepers, people trying to sell u cans of beer or drugs on every corner. The hotel is kinda cute, the bathroom was big and clean. The beds were adequate in comfort but not amazing. The real downside for me was the window situation. It was like a prison cell. The room didn't have any natural light because the window cracks open to a wall/pillar that entirely blocks the view/air and light. This made the room look dingey and miserable. I wanted to spend as little time as possible in there. Its room 403 so if you have the misfortune of gwtting allocated this room i recommend you protest! There was also no kettle or tea making facilities nor a fridge which i eould expect for a hotel of this price. The hotel is also not at all soundproofed so i was woken a lot of times by doors being slammed or people talking in the hallways. I think it was cleaning staff as it was the same voice at the same time, loud and inconsiderate. I wouldn't stay here again but it was ok.

Friendly staff

I took a bus to a nearby location, then walked the rest of the way with luggage. The bus had to stop and let everyone off before its scheduled stop, so the walk was longer than anticipated. Hard to do on cobblestones but I finally arrived.

The room is very small, you can't turn around. There is a very strong, bad, rotten smell in the room, which did not go away. The safe in the closet is simply glued to the shelf, and we were afraid to leave anything there. The tap in the shower stall was constantly leaking, and there was a weak water pressure. The shower stall is very small. The flush in the toilet had to be pressed several times to stop leaking and start filling with water. Over all, stuff need to maintenance property well. Center Barcelona- Good. Many small shops around - Good.

Not worth the high price at all

From the hotel writing me many, many messages requesting payment, instead of hotels.com to the worst hotel stay in 30+ Years of travel. No window, unable to control temperature, extremely thin walls with elevator noise all night, yelling, screaming, people having sex to a toilet that ran continuously, hard bed, two wimpy pillows, one small bath towel, a hair dryer held together with tape not to mention the odor poorly masked by a strong powdery scent that cause of throat irritation.
