Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again.

Clean, good position, friendly

A clean guesthouse in a good position just off the seaward end of La Rambla. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Even though I cannot speak Catalan or Spanish, and they did not speak English, we managed to understand each other!

The price was acceptable. It is only a block from a main street with restaurants, entertainment, and transpartation. It opens on to a back alley and you have to go up 4 flights of stairs to get to the office and then another flight to the rooms.
