Staff was generally friendly (though not very helpfull) and the receptionist didn't make a big fuss out of us leaving sooner then intended (although she mentioned a 24-hour cancelation period).
The building is extremely noisy and it's hard to get a good night's sleep. whenever someone turned the key or opened a door, we were sat up straight in our bed. the fact that cleaning starts at 8 pm doesn't help. our efforts to make the staff aware of this were fruitless. hence we left the place two days prior to our intended check out. also, the fact i ran into a hooker in the morning, failed to impress me.

The only negative thing is the distance to everything. felt a bit "off" it took quite a while to walk to the beach and places like the rambla. but everything else was great!

The positive thing is the all night opening and the disponibility of the hotel staff.
The room was not similar to the one showed in internet.

Room smelled a bit - probably because people smoke in there - cologne used to try to cover the smell only really added to the smell. but otherwise hotel was fine.

The hotel is too noisy. we could hear our neighbour next door speaking, having a shower, using the toilet and the cleaners at 6 at morning making a great noise. it was so stressing.

The hotel is in a good location, near to the sagrada familia, and with good metro connection to the city centre.
Breakfast was very basic and not worth the cost

When we arrived we were told there were 2 rooms booked for us. we explained that one had been cancelled, that they should have been informed, they told us that they had not received the cancellation and that we had to pay for 2 rooms!!!! it was not untill i went onto my e-mail at yahoo and showed them your cancellation of the room from yourselves that they calmed down. i had to e-maiol the confirmation before we were given 1 room. this was a 3 bedded family room, not the double bedded room we asked for. we know room for 1 night but room at the back of hotel, smelt stale, was overlooked by appartment blocks and was not what we expected. we could not wait to leave the hotel to move to the sagrada familia.

The rooms were clean.
We were a newly engaged couple and were given twin beds, we had to wait 7 days before we were given a double bed, one of the staff was so blase about it it upset us, and we were staying 10 days so very poor service. also when we booked we were under the impression thew rooms were a certain price and they got more expensive the longer we stayed. the water in the machine was very expensive, no kettle or cups in the rooms so we could have tea or coffee when we woke up

It was a clean friendly hotel, with the recepionists being very helpful. the location was good being close to a metro station helped in travelling around the city.
The noise coming from other guests. the walls are too thin,guests should be made aware of this and be a bit more considerate to other guests. there could also be tea making facilities in the room.
