Could be better didn’t look as good as the pictures showed. Kitchen didn’t open early and the kettle was broken. Shower could have been cleaner but overall average. Wouldn’t really recommend

Hotel staff were unaccommodating, rude, and made our stay extremely inconvenient for us. Very deceiving and certainly NOT worth the price to stay here.

The apartment was sort of cute and had character. Lovely tiles on the floors, cool but basic decor. However. It’s worth spending the extra few euros and getting a better place where you can sleep. Unfortunately even with earplugs you’ll be woken up several times a night by echoing hallways and slamming doors, not to mention the door buzzer ringing throughout the night.

Staff were very nice and the property was clean.
Although the AC in the room I was assigned was broken, and nothing was done to fix or mediate the hot dry air. There was a window but it opened to the narrow center of the building which housed the hvac of other apartments(very noisy and dirty), and half the window was blocked by a stained glass. The room was very small, you can hear everything foot step in the guest house. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper. Shared bathroom is not ideal.

Maybe this was more because of how the information was presented on Expedia, but when I reserved my room I did NOT realize that it included only a shared and not a private bathroom. Had I known, I may have paid more for a room that had a bathroom, if possible, or looked elsewhere. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the cleaning staff would come into the hallway very early in the morning and make noise. Just know what you're walking into before you book here. That said, the price was definitely right.

Nice room in building

It was a cute room with a double size bed and private bathroom. Simple yet charming and nicely decorated.The booking and check in/out was super easy. They had hair dryers and coffee and tea in common areas. The location was walking distance to metro and other local attractions.we liked the place that since we didnt have a place yet for our last night in Barecelona...we asked if we coulx stay there. They checked ti see if there was availablity, nut unfortunatley there was not. But it was nice that they offered to check and even recommended another place. Woulx definitely go back.

The cons for this Hostel are, There are 13 steps up to the entrance to the rooms. They do not have staff on duty most of the day and none at night. No one to ask if there is a problem.Our friends bathroom was down the hall and not in their room, however it was private. It is also very noisy at night. The pros: this is a great location, only three blocks from the Hop on Hop Off and Metro. Many good places to eat in the neighborhood. A small supermarket around the corner. The Staff were great when they were there.

Noisy room and tiny shower, wouldn't stay again

So we get to the hotel and ended up having to wait nearly an hour and half for the staff to show up to let us in, not to mention they provided us an old number and did not give us the new one. After checking in, the girl was nice and gave us some tips and advice. In our room, or anywhere inside the bnb, you can hear every crack and creak going on. Extremely noisy at all hours of the night. The shower was also tiny. I barely fit in it. The room itself is cute and nicely decorated. The free self serve and clean up breakfast was nice, toast, ham, some cheese, and you can make your own fresh oj. The area is not bad and it is close to a lot of the shopping and tourist things. There is no parking available nearby for a reasonable price. The girls who ran it were nice but I wouldn't stay there again due to the extreme amount of noise and tiny shower.

Aceptable pero no volveria

Estuvo aceptable, no es muy claro cuando reservas que es un habitación en un piso compartido, no es un hotel así que no hay atención 24/7, así que si planeas llegar en la noche no reserves este lugar, afortunadamente llegué justo a las 15 y justo entraba alguien al lugar.
Adicionalmente se escucha todo, todo de las otras habitaciones, desde q abren la puerta hasta la conversacion de otros huéspedes.
No ofrecen una opción para dejar las maletas luego de que haces checkout, todos los hostales, hoteles y airbnb lo tienen!!!
En general, no lo volvería a rentar, fue el lugar que más pague y que menos me gustó en mi viaje por Europa, lo único que rescato es la ubicación, si está súper bien ubicado!

Décevant

Nous avons loué une chambre qui ne correspond pas à celle présenté sur l’annonce. Elle était beaucoup moins joliment décorée. La chambre était néanmoins de grande taille avec trois lits simples. La salle de bains est décevante et un peu sale(cheveux,poussière,pommeau de douche qui fuit). Il s’agissait plus d’une location de chambre d’hôtes, il n’y avait personne à notre arrivée (17h). C’est un voisin qui nous a fait entrer en attendant la personne devant faire notre accueil. L’accueil est fait à la vite dans l’entrée de l’appartement. L’accueil était assez froid. Idem pour le check out. Bref, chambre n’ayant pas grand intérêt en dehors de son prix et sa très bonne localisation.

Purtroppo la nostra esperienza non è stata positiva!
La camera era grande e confortevole, pulita e ordinata. Però abbiamo trovato alcune brutte sorprese durante il pagamento: abbiamo dovuto aggiungere ulteriore denaro a causa delle tasse di soggiorno che, nella prenotazione risultavano incluse, invece il personale del B & B ha riscosso ulteriormente (€ 4,32 in più).
Nella nostra prenotazione, inoltre, era stata richiesta anche la prima colazione. Invece sul posto abbiamo scoperto che la colazione non era inclusa, quindi aggiungendo ulteriori € 8 a persona/die.
Ci era stato promesso che il giorno della partenza, avremmo dovuto lasciare la camera entro le ore 11 e avremmo potuto lasciare i bagagli al B&B fino alle ore 17, orario della nostra partenza. Invece proprio quel giorno ci è stato comunicato che avremmo dovuto ritirarlo entro le ore 13.30. Così ci siamo portate dietro le valigie per la città. Se l'avessero comunicato precedentemente, ci saremmo organizzate diversamente.
Non so se questi disguidi siamo attribuibili a Expedia o a Casa Maca Guest House. Nel complesso siamo rimaste deluse!

Dorm hostel

This \"hotel\" is total fraud, it's not a hotel but a dorm.

First what you see (smell) once you enter this dorm is sense of stinking indian sticks that flows through the air and fills every corner.

Our room was really 4x3m=12m2, but it reminded capsule hotel, not ordinary one. One window remained closed (so called \"window to the yard\") and lead to 1x1 square with 2 buzzing conditioner blocks and no way of fresh air because walls were from 4 sides like well.

Also, room was described as having \"partly opened bathroom\" - what does it mean? In realiry it means SHARED bath with toilet, but you can't find nowhere word SHARED, at least we cold not find this in description.

But final fraud was when we booked 2 days with arrival at night of 1st day and discovered that check in closes at 22.00 and we MUST pay 45 euro (that's more than 1 night cost) for someone to come and open the door IN ADVANCE of 1 week. That was 2 days before arrival, and in countly where unemployment rate is over 30%..

Hellhöriges Gasthaus in angenehmer Lage

Wir buchten ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad - erhielten aber nur ein Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Das Zimmer war viel kleiner und dunkler, als auf den Fotos und bereits stark abgewohnt.
Die Zimmertür war sehr dünn und nicht komplett abschließend, sodass wir alles vom Flur und der Gemeinschaftsküche mitbekamen.

Han cobrado la estancia de la tarjeta cuando solo era una reserva con anulación gratuita. No hubo manera de recuperar el dinero, enviando numerosos e-mails. Tuvieron mis amigos que ir a este lugar, el desayuno estaba incluido sin embargo le comentaron que no entraba en el precio. Habitación no estaba limpia y mal olor al abrir la ventana. Poco atención del.personal.
Proseguiré con una reclamación oficial y prueba escrita en cuanto al pago y queja por correo ya que no hubo manera de ser atentida por tel.

Generelt fornøyd med oppholdet. Gjestehuset er enkelt utstyrt med det mest nødvendige. Det er ganske lytt i bygget, som kan være ubehagelig for enkelte. Også litt trekk for at badet var adskilt fra rommet.

Está al lado de la Diagonal

Teníamos una habitación con baño privado (aunque era exterior). La atención fue excelente, la habitación preciosa y limpia, al igual que el baño. Nos dieron dos juegos de llaves a mi amiga y a mí por si acaso. La única \"pega\" que le puedo sacar es que, ya que no tienen recepción, tuvimos que buscar una consigna en la ciudad para dejar las maletas, ya que el check-out se realizaba a las 11:00 y nosotras cogíamos el tren a las 19:30. Igualmente, nos ofrecieron dejarlas allí hasta la 13:00. Un trato excelente, repetiremos.

Enkelt men ok för priset.

Läget var bra, lugn gata men nära till tunnelbana och centrum. Kändes mera som \"Bed and breakfast\". Personal trevlig och tillmötesgående men det var bara vid frukost som man kunde ha tur att se dem. Eftersom vi ej hade dusch och toalett på rummet var det totalt 4 nycklar att hålla reda på, mycket enkla lås på dörrarna. Enkel frukost i lägenhetens lilla kök och matbord för 6 pers.

Not worth the price at all!

\"Privat bathroom\" turned out to be a separat bath we had to lock ourselves in and out of. The room was extremely hot with window to a tiny backyard where no air came in. No ariconditioner, tv, refrigerator or mirror in the room! With this price you expect a certain standard, this had less facilities and standard than most hostels. We slept horrible due to the temperatur and that affected out trip:(

Gezellig guesthouse, prima gelegen

Knus smaakvol ingericht guesthouse. Super enthousiaste meiden die je vragen graag beantwoorden. Hulpvaardig. Super ligging tov metro en bus. Wij hebben fietsen gehuurd bij Bike Tours, heel dichtbij, en zo heel Barcelona ontdekt. Veel fietspaden dus prima te doen )even wennen liggen in midden Vd weg of op de stoep). Veel prettiger dan de metro of bus (vol en warm).
Huis is oud en daardoor wel erg gehorig en Barcelona slaapt nooit zeg maar. Maar als je genoeg loopt en fietst slaap je echt wel.
Ontbijt simpel maar afdoende.
Airco zonder herrie, prettig.

Gastvrij

Casa Maca is vooral geschikt voor lowbudget vakantiegangers. Gastvrouw Carla is ontzettend aardig en hartelijk.
Onze kamer lag aan de straatkant, erg lawaaiig, onderste luik ontbrak waardoor vrij licht was in de kamer. Iemand met slaapproblemen ligt wakker enoet absoluut vragen om een kamer aan de achterkant if in het midden.
Ontbijt eenvoudig, gezellig aan één tafel met andere gasten. Het pand is heel mooi en karakteristiek voor Barcelona. Dichtbij alle grote bezienswaardigheden.

Chambre agréable localisation parfaite ms bruyant\n

Nous avons été très bien accueillis, dans une chambre joliment décorée. Le ménage est fait tous les jours, le petit déjeuner est très correct, et la localisation, à 5 min des lignes de métro 3 et 4, est idéale. Seul hic mais de taille: le bruit. De la rue, des autres, du sanibroyeur, de la sonnette,...
Pas un réveil après 7h30 en 5 jours... Dur dur pour des vacances.

Unser DZ war sehr klein und hatte kein Tageslicht. Wir hatten das Gefühl, dass es sich eher um ein Einzelzimmer handelt. Das Bad war zwar Privat, befand sich allerdings auf dem Flur. Das Personal war sehr unfreundlich. Unser Flug hatte etwas Verspätung und somit kamen wir nicht, wie geplant am Hotel an. Die Inhaberin schien also schon bei der Ankunft ziemlich sauer auf uns.

leuke B&B (guesthouse) op prima plek!

leuke B&B op de benedenverdieping (2 x 5 kamers) van een mooi oud pand waar verder 'de gewone Spanjaard' woont.
Kamers met eigen douche en wc + ok ontbijtje aan de keukentafel met 'medebewoners' - zelf je bordje afwassen is prima en de hele dag door kun je zelf een kopje thee of koffie maken - piepklein koelkastje in de keuken om zelf je biertje/ flesje wijn in te zetten. Er is een buitenplaatsje waar je kunt zitten drankje, ontbijtje)

Veel van Barcelona is op loopafstand (binnen half uur) en anders vlakbij metro (diagonaal) en bus naar strand/haven

Kamers zijn eenvoudig maar leuk en met smaak ingericht - wij hadden een rustige kamer aan de achterzijde met een piepklein raampje - beetje claustrofobisch maar ok 't is of meer lawaai van de straatkant met meer daglicht OF een iets rustige kamer met minder daglicht).

Personeel in het huis is supervriendelijk en behulpzaam (zijn alleen in de ochtend aanwezig om iets te vragen).
Preferenties (3 maanden van te voren al doorgegeven) wordt jammer genoeg geen rekening mee gehouden).

idéalement situé, propre, personnel accueillant

situé près du métro, avec également deux bus qui passent juste devant et qui vont à place de catalunya et à la plage barceloneta, cet hotel est idéalement situé. Propre et très bien décoré, vous vous sentirez vite à votre aise.
Les personnes qui s'occupent de la gestion de cette Guest House sont adorables, très serviables et disponibles.

On a aimé le système bed and breakfast, avec une cuisine accessible et quotidiennement approvisionnée en jus, lait, gateaux, fromage et autres, de 8 à 11h pour le petit déj, et la possibilité de se faire un café ou un thé toute la journée.

Les chambres confort suffisent pour un court séjour, ceux qui veulent plus de place préféreront la chambre supérieure
