Catalonia Born

Very well situated and the staff are very helpful . The rooms are big, so there's plenty of room to get round the bed etc and the bathroom facilities excellent. You even get a bath shower thing and a separate shower, which seems unusually generous. Great value for money as you get a really well appointed hotel, in a great place, for reasonable coin.

The room was very hot 23deg, and despite turning the A/C on and onto its lowest setting, the temperature went up to 26deg. Turn the A/C off, open the window and it still didn't go below 23deg, for 2 days. Far to hot to sleep. If you want a lay in or a lazy morning, forget it. Cleaners, maintenance men, in fact everyone, cuts about the corridors, seemingly banging bin lids together. Oh and its not just this hotel but two single beds is not the requested double bed. Its not a maths problems, two ones make a two. They don't.

Everything was excellent.

Excellent location (Center, near Merto station) , Hospitality,Value for money

Facilities and the location. Near metro and bustation.

The hotel is located next to the Arc De Triomf, at the edge of "Ribera" neighbourhood. The l1 "Arc De Triomf" metro station is 1 min away on foot, and "Barri Gottica" and "Raval" neighbourhoods are within a 15 min walk. So, location wise it is great. As far as the hotel itself goes, the room (4th floor) was spacey (with huge bathroom/WC) but with almost no balcony.... In contrary to the outside of the hotel (it could use a serious make-over) the rooms are pretty and clean. Other than that the alley that it is located in, is rather quiet and thus, easy to sleep (during the night or day, even). The staff speaks very good English (being in Spain considered) and are willing to help. I guess one could say I was greatly pleased with choosing it.

The fact that the safe was a lock-in,lock-out one, for which you should rent the lock from the reception didn't help feeling that your important stuff were safe when you were away. But maybe I am just being too paranoid about it.

convenient location -about ten minutes walk from Gothic quarter and very close to huge park and interesting sites and metro station which we used. Breakfast was good. Quieter than many hotels would be as regards street noise as there was no passing traffic noise at all. English spoken so no difficulties with language.
