The best thing is its location. It's close to two metro lines, only 3 stops away from city center. In addition, it's right next to Tram stop. So, moving about is very easy and fun. Well, the rooms aren't large and if you plan to stay indoors then you might find rooms to be claustrophobic. The staff is awesome, very well educated in English and willing to take the extra step to make your stay comfortable. I certainly stay here If I come to Barcelona again... for a very simple reason... its worth every penny you spend.

"Good for citytrip Barcelona"
Nice hotel for a citytrip Barcelona.Metro station about 2 min walking.The room is small but if you are in Barcelona for a citytrip this doesn't matter because you don't stay in your room al the time.On the rooftop is a nice swimmingpool, super for the summer/spring times.

"Close to metro, high security, sound-proof rooms, clean, new"
Pros: Close to metro, high security, sound-proof rooms, clean, new.
Cons: The fridge in our floor was broken and never repaired during our 4-days stay.
providing a little soap in the rooms would have been a cheap but quite nice touch.
rooms are small (ours was a double room), but efficiently (i wouldn't say nicely) designed.

"Lots of storage in the room so very easy to keep things tidy"
Pros: Lots of storage in the room so very easy to keep things tidy. also it was nice to have a tv.
Cons: My whole experience was awful. there was a horrible smell in the bathroom when i arrived and which seemed to be coming from the sinks. the room was way way way smaller in real life than in the picture to the point of claustrophobia. also it was very dark because of the one tiny window with two different sets of curtains over it which you couldn't pull back fully. sometimes the motion activated lights in the corridor wouldn't work so walking along the long corridors in the darkness was quite intimidating. the fridge door in the kitchen didn't shut properly so therefore couldn't leave any food in it. also although the location isn't terrible, it is in the funeral district, so be prepared to walk past the 5 funeral parlors and the crematorium next door. but the worst point was a bad experience with one of the cleaners, who stole a necklace from my room and i only got it back because when i asked her who had cleaned my room i spotted it was around her neck.

Cons: Just a little spartan - kitchen with no mugs, very small room (and bathroom)
Pros: Very clean, plenty of security arround
Cons: We paid for the room on line but on arrival was told the money had not been taken so had to pay again. so not until we arrive home did we know if we had paid twice.it had not been taken 1st time although we received comformation of the booking.
