Once you get into your room everything is great but we had a difficult time contacting staff to let us in the building. You can't get into the building without a pass code. Finally another person staying at the property came by, let me in and helped me reach the office staff. You can't reach staff without that pass code either and I didn't have a phone number. Even their office was locked and unaccessable without a code. Make sure you have your check in process down with the property to avoid what we went through

This property exceed my expectations. Small but starting with the staff, the young lady that takes care of front desk and housekeeping is beyond amazing. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They offer fruits and muffing, they have a small area with a fridge and microwave outside of the rooms for the guest convenience. The room has a small balcony, hair dryer, extra pillow and blanket... I truly was happy with the attention and cute rooms. The location is perfect. You have a bunch of restaurants in less than 2 minutes walking and you also has The Ciudadela park 5 minutes walking, Barceloneta beach is like 10 minutes walking and 16 minutes to la Rambla... Everything is close... Give this property a chance unless that you are looking for big rooms like suites, this will do the job and is clean. The owners are very nice.
