Great central location clean hotel. Bit inconvenient having to use keys and bathrooms being outside
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is fantastic being in the Gothic district you are right in the middle of all the action. Our room was clean and comfortable and the hosts were great having free water and other goodies for everyone to enjoy.
My sister and I had a great stay. The location was amazing, so close to everything. The room was comfortable and clean. I would definitely stay here again.
Great location in central Barcelona, air conditioning welcome and stunning room with two balconies. Our host was very responsive, helpful and accommodating.
Joe, the owner, is hands on and very accommodating. Location is fabulous. I have stayed there in 2023 and 2025. If in Barcelona in the future, I will stay there again.
Situated right in the heart of the gothic quarter, plenty of great restaurant and bars located in all directions. Easy to walk to many of the fantastic sites that Barcelona has to offer.
This hotel was in a very convenient location and close to many nice attractions and restaurants. The room was plenty spacious and had all the things we needed. Enjoyed the balcony for a view of the neighborhood. Communication with the host around specific arrival time was important to aid entry into the room, so be sure to give attention to this.
This hotel was just perfect! The location is phenomenal. It’s close to everything and has a wonderful old Barcelona vibe. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants that were right around the corner. The shopping nearby had a unique vibe with character. We shopped at the vintage shop and the handmade leather bag store almost across the street and could not have been happier with our experience. The room is small, as are most in desirable locations in the city, but the amenities and comfort made it pleasant.
We didn’t see much of the staff, which is great for us. They checked in with us on arrival and let us be. Instructions were easy to understand.
If you’re looking for a great experience and location, this is the perfect place.
Fantastic little place in the heart of the city. Nice stay staff was helpful to work with. Everything is easy to get to. Because you are downtown it gets loud at night so i would take notice. Also finding it initially is a bit hard. All to say this is a 10/10 place and would stay here again

The positives- great location, easy check in, Joe was very helpful, comfortable bed
The negative- not so clean, the photos look better than the actual room, you can not open the balcony doors all the way because of the room size,
Keep in mind it is not a hotel!! It’s a hostel, so for a hostel, it was ok

From the photos, I expected a hotel but it was actually a hostel. Although I felt safe with all the door locks, I was a bit surprised by the people who entered behind me after I entered security code and opened front door. They were so casual enough to appear to be local residents. In any case the photos don't show the actual entrance to the building as it shows the adjacent property which looks more like a hotel but was actually blocked by construction barriers during my stay! Other than that, staff was helpful and friendly.

I recently stayed here and overall, the experience was okay, but not what I paid for. I specifically booked a double bed room and was given a single, which costs less. I’m still waiting on a reimbursement or even a partial refund, which hasn’t been addressed yet. That was disappointing and felt unfair.
The room itself was decent, not bad, just not what we expected or reserved. The location is definitely a plus, very central and convenient for exploring. The room had a mini-fridge which was useful, but there was no microwave, which made it harder to prepare or reheat any food.
The staff did try their best and were kind, but there seems to be a general lack of organization, which I’ve noticed during my time in Spain overall. I really hope this issue with the room and the refund gets resolved.
