There was an unexpected power outage that was completely outside the hotel’s control. The staff handled the situation incredibly well and arranged a room for us at a hotel across the street almost immediately. It was a seamless experience, and their professionalism were truly impressive.

I wasn’t sure how this would go when I realized it was a hostel, but it was just a really cute boutique hotel. I did have contact with them ahead of time so they could tell me exactly how to find the door to get in, the code, etc., and they were very good at communicating. Super friendly staff who cleaned the room well, and I looked hard to find a place with a good location, small balcony, cute, and air-conditioned. I would recommend it!

Once you get into your room everything is great but we had a difficult time contacting staff to let us in the building. You can't get into the building without a pass code. Finally another person staying at the property came by, let me in and helped me reach the office staff. You can't reach staff without that pass code either and I didn't have a phone number. Even their office was locked and unaccessable without a code. Make sure you have your check in process down with the property to avoid what we went through

This property exceed my expectations. Small but starting with the staff, the young lady that takes care of front desk and housekeeping is beyond amazing. The rooms are clean and comfortable. They offer fruits and muffing, they have a small area with a fridge and microwave outside of the rooms for the guest convenience. The room has a small balcony, hair dryer, extra pillow and blanket... I truly was happy with the attention and cute rooms. The location is perfect. You have a bunch of restaurants in less than 2 minutes walking and you also has The Ciudadela park 5 minutes walking, Barceloneta beach is like 10 minutes walking and 16 minutes to la Rambla... Everything is close... Give this property a chance unless that you are looking for big rooms like suites, this will do the job and is clean. The owners are very nice.

The room was smaller than expected as in the corner of the floor plan. This was a large flat made into 6 Bed and Breakfast rooms. Unfortunately we booked the room without a bathroom. This was absolutely not stated when we booked but it did say private bathroom. Aren't they all. But not so private if you have to use the facilities 2 to 3 times per night. The guest house was pretty good with this only exception of the bathroom. Good location, clean, coffee available and limited snacks. I'd recommend but don't book room 4

Great Pension in good location

This is a great little pension in a good location a short walk from Las Ramblas and close to Metro links.

The staff are really nice and helpful and there is information available in the small communal kitchen which houses tea and coffee and a supply of fruit etc as well as a microwave oven.

The place is spotlessly clean and evwrything works very well.

The roof terrace was a real bonus ona sunny day with chairs and tables available to take a picnic lunch etc.

I would 100% recommend if you want a Pension style accommodation close to main sightseeing points.

We were happy with the room, the balcony was a nice touch and the rooftop was lovely. The only issue was the taxi let us out 2 blocks away claiming he couldn't get closer and we had no idea how to get there. Luckily we ran into some English speaking locals that directed us. Our instuctions were to enter the code and walk into reception, but there was no reception at that level. Turns out you needed to take the elevator up, and that information would have been helpful. However we were very happy with the cleanliness of the room, the staff and the location.

Waited over an hour for someone to answer the door so I could check in. Staff was rude and lied that they sent the code, did not apologize. Room had a fetid smell, no window which meant you had to run a AC unit that had obvious signs of mold. The fire sprinkler was tapped off and the bed was very uncomfortable.

I was pleasantly surprised as I was not expecting much but it was wonderful. I was greet and shown the apartment , living area, and told all the things I needed to know for the weekend.
Close to a train station (across the road) lots of restaurants, easy walking to Marina a beach.
Room had a double bed even though it was a single. No window except for ventilation. Bathroom was modernized. Had some storage and some new slippers… which I used all 24 days!
Elevator was great. Aldi across from front door.
Would stay again but would definitely book a view.

Right for the Price

This property was about what you would expect for the price. The room is exceptionally small. We were placed in the wrong room and then asked to move after we had unpacked all of our things, but otherwise the staff are friendly. Again--the room are amusingly small (we took a picture for our friends), so if you have a lot of luggage, this might not be the most appropriate lodging choice.

Equate this more to a B&B than a full service hotel or a typical hostel. We had a triple room with private en suite bath, balcony and A/C. Other rooms used a shared bath. There was a common area with tables, chairs, dishes, refrigerator to store food/drink. And a common rooftop terrace. Housekeeping was impeccable, maybe even too much as we could have fared without new towels every day. The people running the space were so kind and informative. You cannot beat the location. Right on the edge of The Born neighborhood so easy walkability to museums, shops and restaurants but not in the thick of the nightlife noise. Parks, beaches and transport are at your doorstep!

I always pictured a hostel to be on the disgusting side, but this was good enough. The only thing that I’d recommend is getting new kitchen supplies because when you warm the water in the steamer it just comes out disgusting. It wouldn’t be bad to restore the place a bit. It’s haunted, too lol
