Based on 1 reviews
This small guest house is decorated with care and located in an elegant building in the heart of the famous district of Eixample, Barcelona. This guest house was refurbished in 2006, offering 20 well equipped rooms. The location is ideal, just 5 minutes walk from the Plaza de España and from the main exhibitions and events centre in Barcelona (La Fira). The city centre (Plaza de Cataluña) as well as other tourist buildings like the Casa Batlló or La Pedrera are very close by and can be reached by foot from the guest house. Rooms are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay including plasma TV's.

Gran Via is a long avenue, and the hostel is about 10 min by car from the Passeig de Gracia, i.e. center

Weird location (top floor in the apartment building). You have to see a concierge, whose desk is not open 24/7 to let you in. Hot water is through a small boiler in your room, which runs out very quickly (done with a 10 min shower). To get to the rooms, you need to pull your luggage up a set of stairs from the concierge office. There%27s virtually no reception (1.5 X 1.5 meters).

The concierge barely spoke any English (had to involve hand signs to get anything explained). The owner was relatively rude blaiming us for not knowing the hot water may run out (concierge should have advised us)

Quietness:
Not rated
paper-thin walls, common narrow hall. You hear every neighbor coming in an out. And as our window was into a small courtyard, every sound echoed (dog barking). Just horrible

Room:
Not rated
The pictures are misleading. The room is extremely small (3 X 3 meters at most), barely any room around the bed to walk. No closet (you are given a weird hanging rack). Bathrrom is fine in size, but the water is an issue. The TV in the room was not connected.

Absolutely not. Major disappointment
Stars it deserves
