No human respect

A family tragedy had occured when the daughter of the couple that was booked for the room, had been tragically killed. Tried to cancel in thus extreme situation, but the property refused. I understand policy, but in this case it wasn't a normal situation, and no considerstion was given.

Excellent location, just few minutes walk away from the busy La Rambla Boulevard & La Boqueria Market for food and shopping. Friendly staff, easy check in and out. Great value for the location, have a very homey feel.

An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again.

There is no elevator and our room is on the 4th floor. If you’re travelling with heavy luggage then this property is not for you.

Clean, good position, friendly

A clean guesthouse in a good position just off the seaward end of La Rambla. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Even though I cannot speak Catalan or Spanish, and they did not speak English, we managed to understand each other!

The staff were very friendly from start to finish. The room was basic but great and very clean as was the toilet and shower. Stayed with my Son for a 3 night stay. Right in the centre at Liceu, close to everything. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend it.
