All of the positive reviews of this place must have been by the owners themselves. They fooled us into thinking it was a nice, clean and simple hotel, which it was not. They smoke in the lobby, the rooms have bare white walls, linoleum floors, moldy baseboards and weird blankets. And the window opens to a ventilation shaft that lets... more

We stayed at this hostal in late May early June for 6 nights. The location is wonderful, by Passeig Gracia metro stop, 10 min walk to Placa Catalunya and Passeig Gracia itself. The first thing we noticed was the smell of cigarette smoke once we entered the hostal (it is on the 2nd floor of a building). Yes, the three... more

They give you the impression that this is a nice chic modern hotel on their website and even charge you for it. What you get is minimalism at its worst. The rooms were bare and it wasn't a hotel at all. There was no receptionist and they had to know your exact time of arrival so they could be there... more

Whilst the hostal, although basic, was clean and staff were friendly, the bed was uncomfortable and when in our hotel room you could hardly hear each other above the roar of traffic. The traffic noise was constant and deafening and the two nightclubs located right by the hostal meant that sleep was virtually impossible - even earplugs couldn't keep the... more

This one hasn`t in fact our room was better than most 3* &4* hotels that we have... more

Stayed there with my girlfriend for a whole week and it was great. Nice location (3 blocks from plaza catalunya), friendly staff, 24h free internet. Rooms are cleaned everyday and the rooms are exactly as the pictures show. There's also a refrigerator and microwave you can use as you wish. I totally recomend it for young people who want to... more

My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon. The staff was great and very helpful. The room was big. No drawers to put your clothes in but they provided a clothing rack if you needed to hang things up. There was air conditioning in the room and satellite tv, limited mainly to news channels. The bathroom had... more

I just spent three nights here with a girl friend for my 30th birthday. I did a massive search online before leaving home, trying to find value in a safe locale for accomodation. I was not disappointed. This hostal is located right in the heart of Eixample, which is a nice district near all the action, but a bit more... more
