This was the perfect boutique hotel in a very nice location within walking distance to the beach and the metro. The hotel staff was extremely helpful and even allowed me to checkin earlier than the stated time.

The rooms was very nice and comfy with a cuban vibe and AC that kept my room amazingly cool. I especially liked the water stations on each floor with sparkling water on tap and candy jars restocked daily full of gummies.

The breakfast buffet was the best one I've experienced in any boutique hotel in Europe. It had just about everything you can think of for breakfast and then some.

I would definitely stay here again when visiting barcelona!

I would NOT recommend staying here. Money was stolen from my backpack during my stay, so I did not feel my belongings were safe. If you decide to stay here, do not leave any valuables in your room. Learn from my experience. The area is also extremely noisy throughout the night, with people throwing and smashing glass bottles and constant noise from the surrounding buildings, making it difficult to sleep.
To make matters worse, hotels in Spain have legal obligations regarding the safety of their guests and, responsibility for guests' belongings. Based on my experience, I was very disappointed with how this situation was handled. I'd recommend staying somewhere else.

We loved our short stay here as our room was spacious, very clean and had a lovely view overlooking the shops and restaurants outside the hotel.
The staff were very welcoming and majority of the check in process could be completed online before we even arrived so we really only had to collect our key card on arrival.
The location was excellent in the Gothic quarter and within walking distance to so many shops, restaurants and Jaume metro station.
Would definitely recommend.

Very unique boutique hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful- stored our bags while we explored Barcelona before check-in. Convenient, vibrant gothic quarter location with many walkable coffee and food options. Restaurant attached was very beautiful. Room was clean with all amenities, comfortable bed, nice bathroom with good water pressure in the shower. Only complaint was our room 404 was above/near restaurant kitchen and we heard loud banging/clanking of dishes until after midnight. Not terrible but loud enough to hear intermittently. We travel with a white noise machine so it helped. Unique small hotel & convenient location for metro and other things!

Great place in a great location. We only had breakfast once and it was very good and only $14 per person which is reasonable for a hotel. I would have appreciated new towels daily because towels stayed damp. Not sure why they didn’t take the wet towels and switched them for new ones. They only switched out the bath mat. Coffee and water was available in the hallway, which was great. I appreciated the real milk/cream.

This hotel is cute and the staff were helpful - but run far far away if they give you room 100. It’s above the kitchen and beside the restaurant which is open until 2 am - it has a squeaky door that opens and slams shut every few minutes, you can hear people talking and dishes being washed. It’s truly awful.

A great location in El Born if your goal is to explore the area, the neighbouring Gothic Quarter and nearby sites. This boutique hotel has a fun, and unique theme with Scottish, Cuban and punk rock motifs throughout.

Friendly staff, rooms are clean and it also has a highly rated restaurant attached.

Our room came with a small balcony overlooking the back streets. There was a hairdryer, towels, slippers, but the iron and ironing board are communal and you have to pick them up from reception.

Location great! Cool quirky boutique hotel with a separate restaurant added. The staff was fabulous with the exception of a young male we only interacted with once….seemed bothered, bored and didn’t smile once. The ladies are awesome though and they will hold luggage pre/post stay. The noise level outside in the alley was really loud glass dumping lat at night. The only thing I was disappointed in was that the description said coffee/tea but it’s not in-room, it’s on each floor outside the elevator and the paper cups are teeny tiny.

The hotel definitely has a cool vibe, with modern decor and very nice common areas. The staff was also consistently friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout my stay, and the location was great.

Unfortunately, the actual room experience was very disappointing. The bedroom was extremely basic and honestly not “chic” at all compared to how the hotel presents itself online. The air conditioner was incredibly noisy to the point where I could barely sleep, and it also barely worked. On top of that, using the bathroom/shower somehow triggered the fire alarm, which was very inconvenient.

The bed was also extremely uncomfortable, and combined with the noise issues, it made it very difficult to rest properly. In the end, while the location, staff, and decor of the common areas were positives, the lack of comfort made the stay overall pretty horrible for me. I personally wouldn’t stay there again.

It's a nice hotel with an idea, not a sterile one. The room might look a bit used, but I understood all \"imperfections\" as the style. It's a historical building, so the floors are a bit uneven. I could also imagine a bigger variety of food for breakfast, but it really didn't make my stay bad :)

Lovely hotel in a great location. Nice restaurants on the same street, 10 minutes walk to central square. Staff were so kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Bed comfortable and shower was great. Room clean and cosy. There was some noise from the street at night but it didn't disturb my sleep (which is saying something!) and was to be expected with a room at the front of the hotel. Ate in the restaurant for breakfast and an evening meal with cocktails and everything was fresh and enjoyable on both occasions. Wouldn't hesitate to go back. Stayed in single room as female on my own and felt perfectly safe. Everyone was so polite and friendly, a great introduction to visiting Barcelona for the first time. Thankyou Habana Hoose!

Hotel is near shopping & bars/restaurant. Walkable to museums & other attractions. Just two minor things, They should put a note inside shower by the two knobs that are not to be touched at all or hang anything because it will interfere with the rest of the water in the bathroom. Also it was extremely noisy outside after 11pm not sure if it was due to the parade the past 2 days in the afternoon but it was a lot of banging, pushing, dragging of things & people screaming & talking loud.

Excellent basic hotel as the name implies. As a solo traveler this was perfect. Small, comfortable room, convenient to the Gothic Quarter, Barcoloneta (beach area) and the Metro at Jaume to connect you everywhere else. The local in El Born is great and puts you steps away from shopping, food and lovely strolls. Good price for the location and comfort. Front desk was very friendly and helpful, especially arranging my transportation to the airport early in the morning.

Clean room and hotel. The staff was very helpful. Our room was in the back and our little balcony faced the windows of the next building just a few feet apart. But in fairness, the hotel is in the old neighborhood and it should be expected.

The room was very small for the price. Had difficulty finding a space to open luggage. You can do much better for the price. On the positive, it was a good location, centrally located, and the shower pressure was great. Finally, the breakfast option in the restaurant was uninspiring, and stairways are very dark and hard to navigate.

Great location. Great staff. Friendly and helpful. Free Nespresso coffee. It’s an old building and don’t expect too much. Pretty basic (thus the name). I’ll stay again in the future.

I always judge a hotel by whether it has slippers or not! This one did! I’m also quite fussy about cleanliness and water pressure, this hotel was perfect.
It was also really tasteful, cool and set in a superbly convenient location. We walked almost everywhere and when we went to Sagrada we took the metro which is right there. It’s in the lively and historical Born District in the Gothic Quarter - loved walking in the little lanes and alleyways.
The staff were so helpful and friendly.
Cannot fault this hotel and will stay again!
Their restaurant looks really amazing and has a lot of external guests but we were keen to eat tapas and paella.
There’s a fantastic cafe just opposite called Lady Babka which I can’t recommend highly enough.

Really friendly staff. Good location for exploring much of the city and right by a Metro station as well. Can easily walk to most of the main sights from the hotel. My room was a good size. Would recommend.

Small, dark, chic hotel. Location is perfect as it is near the metro, restaurants and minutes away from attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful. Unsure is it was my small room but there was no phone or refrigerator. Staff will kindly keep your refrigerated items, just ask. Yes like others are saying the decor is dark and the dust is very visible to the naked eye. There was free coffee, water on tap (hot, cold, sparkling) along with treats upon existing the elevator. And you are welcomed by a bottle of wine, treats, a news article and a take away bag in your room.

It is very cool and good hotel. I have booked single room which is very very small so my luggage had to be open on the floor and had to jump over it on the way to the toilet or really anywhere. Corridors are so dark that even Bruce Lee would get lost and maybe even scared. Hmmm, not sure if he would get scared and to be honest I didn’t. All in all lovely hotel but remember it is a guest house and 3 stars. Barcelona is expensive but I wish I paid more for a bigger room. Check out at 12 is very civilised and comes handy. Restaurant next door is amazing experience. Worth even just getting a drink there. Thank you for reading.

The hotel was super cute and clean. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We loved the water and coffee stations on each floor. Air worked great. HIGHLY recommend the restaurant down stairs too. It was amazing.

Just okay

I would say this hotel is just okay, but for the price I paid, it wasn’t worth it. The rooms didn’t look like the pictures, and the hotel is definitely showing signs of wear. Certain areas, like the rugs in the lobby, looked old, dirty and dated. The paint in the room was peeling, and a piece of wood holding the air conditioner had broken off.

The hotel is trying to advertise itself as a boutique hotel, but it completely missed the mark. Nothing felt authentic or original. Instead, there were random wall stickers used as decoration, which made the space feel cheap and unthoughtful.

The areas near the elevator and stairways were very dark. The stairwell had motion-sensor lights, but they weren’t sensitive enough—my husband almost tripped going down the dark stairs.

There was a coffee and tea station on each floor with cookies and candy, which was a nice touch, but unfortunately, it didn’t make up for the overall experience.

The hotel staff was generally friendly and helpful, except for the heavier woman with blondish hair, who was not as pleasant. I wouldn’t book here again. The only thing I really liked was the location—everything was easily accessible, including the metro.
