The room is so tiny , to much small , even you have to walk by the side to fit in. The pics of the place mislead the size and comfortability of the hostels. I really don't recommend this place especially if you have any condition. The baths is so small makes very difficult to take a decent shower, very slippery and dangerous so the person can easily fall in. It a shame for part of Expedia recommend this place and present to the client in the way you do. The light in the room is very poor. This place make me to think two times before use Expedia for my trips in any way.

I didn’t like the hours for the reception desk. It wasn’t long enough, and although I was able to check in at the kiosk, I couldn’t find parking and ended up parking at the supermercado.

The staff are very nice. When I needed an urgent help, they were there. The room smells like sewerage when bathroom door is not closed. You could hear noise from next door. I can not complain for the price I paid.

Response from Xavier on 18 Nov,2016
We regret the problems with the hot water, It was caused by a water company scheduled cut but unfortunatelly the cut also caused our boiler to stop working, We fixed within an hour but it took an extra 2 hours to supply hot water for everyone reliably. As for the tourist tax, please check your reservation voucher, it should state that the tourist tax is not included.

The hotel was clean and comfortable, with easy transportation links nearby and several shops/cafes/restaurants. Not too busy so a good place to stay for a bit more quiet while still being close to the city centre.

Kinda Good
First we had an issue with the self check in thing as the reservation "number" was my first name !!! and we did check with the hostel before we went there and the reception is only open for a couple of hours, fortunately there was someone there by luck. The neighborhood is really quiet and not a touristic one and is really near to the metro. The rooms were really good and clean, with a little kitchen and fridge.
Response from General Manager on 18 Nov,2016
Reception is open from 9:00 to 12:00 am and from 19:00 to 22:00 pm, 365 days a year. We guarantee that someone will assist you if there's a problem and this is why we provide a 24h phone number you may call in this case. It was not just luck that I was there to assist you, Some Online travel agencies do not provide a unique reservation number shared by the hotel and the guest, this is why it is useful that you can also use the Name under which the reservation is made.

The price is right
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and my only complaint is that the walls are thin so other guests cooking, smoking or partying can be heard/smelled at all hours. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful, but available during very limited hours. And we were made to pay a "traveler's tax" (50 cents per person per night), which we never encountered anywhere else in Spain. That seemed a bit strange. I'd stay here again (the price is right), but all taxes and fees should be included at the time of booking. And the smoking inside is gross, though this isn't the fault or problem of this hotel alone.
Response from General Manager on 18 Nov,2016
Thank You for your coments. Smoking in the rooms is forbiden , despite the smoke detectors, some inconsiderate guests manage to ignore the prohibition. Tourist tax is a local tax,at the moment m is only paid in Catalonia and Balearic Islands, it is payable only by guests older thatn15 and only the 7 first days of the stay, hence the difficulty to include it in the total cost of the reservation.

Für diejenigen, die nur Barcelona besichtigen und die Zeit nicht im Hotel verbringen wollen, ist das Hotel ideal. Es liegt in der Nähe der U-Bahn, Stadtmitte in 10 Minuten zu erreichen. Das Personal war freundlich, das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Nur das Reception nicht immer besetzt ist, war nicht gut.

Nous avions la chambre familiale, soir 2 chambres communicantes, idéal avec les enfants. en plus il y a un coin kitchenette très pratique pour le petit déjeuner.

Para una noche y poco más
Es un hostal en el centro, viejo, sin servicio de recepción física, es mediante videollamada y whatsapp (que funciona muy bien, eso es cierto) pero el horario es de 9-12 y de 16-21 creo recordar. No habia agua caliente, el baño necesita una reforma a lo bestia. No hay mesa en la habitación. En fin, una cama cómoda y ya.
