Hostal Sol y K

The rooms were clean and the balcony was lovely. The showers were hot and bathrooms kept relatively clean throughout the day. The location was good, you could walk pretty much anywhere in the gothic quarter.

There was absolutely no sound proofing to the rooms whatsoever. We heard every conversation of every person who walked below our balcony and everything that happened in the hallways or the rooms on either side of us. I'm not a light sleeper, but it was very loud. We were also facing the street front and woke every morning to what sounded like bombs going off - this horrendously loud banging/explosion noise that went on between 7-10am each morning... I wanted to ask the staff what this was, but they were almost never to be seen. This was another thing I didn't like, we barely saw the staff so weren't able to ask them anything about the area (or why the lift wouldn't work for our luggage).

The property is located in a wonderful location in central gothic quarter. This made it really easy to get around and see the major sites, there are two metro lines really close by.

- The street noise was unbearable. With only a fan in the room, you needed to have the doors open to get any air in and the street is super loud. - Very basic facilities, and the room was small. - I really don’t like the water restrictions placed on the shower that make the water cut off after 30 seconds. Very annoying. You had to keep pressing for the water to come back on
