We had a room facing the Rambla with a small balcony. Great for people-watching and feeling the vibe of the street. Not too noisy, if you close the windows. Late in the evening the street gets filled with ladies looking for a catch, but it didnt bother us. We didnt feel unsafe at any time. Room was good value, the... More

This hotel is located right on the La Rambla -where the action is. The staff were very helpful and professional; the room was not large but adequate for 2 of us and was very clean. We had a small balcony overlooking the La Rambla and it was a lot of fun watching all the action. And it wasn't as noisy... More

The location of this hotel could not be better, it is literally 3 mins walk from the Dressanes Metro stop and the port, walk in the opposite direction up La Rambla and your at Catalunya Square. Yes there is a sex shop two shops away, but this is no different than having an Ann Summers next door to your hotel,... More

A great hotel - family of 4 from Australia with 2 teenage boys and were very happy. Perfect location, superbly clean and helpful staff. More

Don't know what other people expect! Clean, comfortable, convenient hotel at an excellent price. The beds were a bit hard and adjoining tapas bar not recommended, apart from that no complaints whatsover. More

The gentlemen at the front desk was always helpful making excellent recommendations to local restaurants and making taxi arrangements for us upon our departure. The hostal we... More

We booked five nights at this hotel for two couples to celebrate New year and explore some of Barcelona. Like other reviewers, I agree the location was superb, right on La Rambla - a tad too noisy for sleep until the not so small hours most nights we were there, with revellers partying very late. The rooms were very basic,... More

Staying over the new years weekend in a balcony room over looking La Rambla may not have been the most well thought out plan - however double glazed doors, black out curtains, ok, and us being a little boozed, saw to a good night's sleep. The front desk staff were extremely helpful, the rooms we were in were modern and... More

We stayed here before our Med Cruise, and loved it. Right on La Ramblas, the best was sitting in the outside restaurant watching all the tourists stroll by every evening. The staff was VERY HELPFUL and spoke English well. Free Wi-Fi, which we later learned was rare in Europe. We had a lovely room over looking La Ramblas, and the... More
