I have spent one week in barcelona with a friend. The santa marta is a very old hotel with no comforts. I was on the 6th floor (there is the lift). The room was very small. No space for the bags.Air conditioning. No hairdryier in the bath (shower and bathtube). The windows were broken. the breakfast was not good but... more

I stayed here from a monday to a very early friday morning and i have to say, my room was very small but perfect from one person. The room was always clean no matter how messy i was, clean towels left out everyday. my telly was very old but it worked fine. not much closet space but enuff for me.... more

After reading some reviews I was a bit worried about this hotel, but chose it because it was close to the Barcelonetta beaches. I was really pleased when I saw the room, OK so it was tiny, but it was very clean (as if it had just been renovated). It had a new TV and a bright orange David Lynch... more

This was basic accommodation with minimal wardrobe space (you get what you pay for). Rooms were cleaned every day, towels also changed. Staff were pleasant, however the walls were very thin and you could hear your neighbours. City noise at night included deliveries and dustcarts. Breakfast was continental. more

If you want a cheap hotel that is extremely close to the main train station, a stone's throw from shops, cafes and bars, and where rooms are cleaned daily, this is the place to stay. If you want light and airy, spacious and well-appointed, with great views and facilities, I'm afraid you're going to draw the short straw, especially if... more

Our party of eight were booked into this hotel after Globespan messed up our origional hotel booking. We arrived to find around fifteen people sleeping on the pavement nearby.
