Pros: Great double room with balcony that have views of barcelona centre, kitchen and wash rooms are clean and resourceful.
they also have voucher for hop on hop off bus for 10% discount, although you need to pay 4 euro for commission but it's still cheaper than buying the normal one.
the lady who clean the place was very nice too
Cons: Wifi wasn't working

Pros: Location
Cons: Deceiving information listed re "hotel", it is a hostel and facilities are shared with 5 other double rooms.lounge area has timed lighting so you have to keep getting up to switch light on and this is the area internet works. no mention of this in listing. builder present for two of our three days renovating.occupying more space than us.
so only one shower and one toilet for 5 double rooms.
washing machine listed on website, yet cleaner removed our clothing from machine while still in washing cycle and handed to us with a "telling off" that it was not to be used.
the noise is extreme and feel double glazing would be helpful or at least let potential clients be aware.

Pros: It was a very homely stay and the location was awesome!
Cons: None, except that the locks were quite old and so it was quite tricky to enter the building/apartment.

Pros: It was excellent location
Cons: It was much smaller than expected, extremely uncomfortable beds that must be 30 plus years old (you sleep on the metal springs literally), small kitchen and very cold in the common areas, kind of boot-leg

Cons: The noise of the traffic outside - it could do with better sound insulation.

Pros: Location is perfect and the room is clean though basic.
Cons: We were only given 2 towels for a four night stay and though there was a cleaner everyday none of the bedrooms were serviced, though it being an apartment it was not really an issue. the loction can be rather noisy due to the intersection below but these negatives had no impact on my stay.
