The location of hotel is perfect, very central, within walkable distance from all major attractions and entertainment.
The hotel is unfortunately under construction and the view is restricted by the tarmac. Saying that, it still has a beautiful view of Pl. Catalunya as it’s a see-through. We stayed on the top floor and can even see La Sagrada Familia. Our room had a long beautiful balcony as it’s a central room. Yes, the hotel itself is very old and it needs a proper refurbishment inside and out, but it didn’t affect our stay, we definitely enjoyed it. However, I would highly recommend to buy some ear plugs as it’s quite noisy outside due to the roadworks.
The real credit to the hotel is their friendly reception staff, who accommodate all your needs! Thank you for your everyday smile! :) The hotel also has a small lounge and a kitchenette on the 3rd floor with a view on Montjuic (beautifully illuminated when is dark), with tables and chairs where you can eat your food that you can warm in a microwave. You can borrow an iron, a kettle and a hairdryer at the 24hr reception. The bathroom has some toiletries and towels. The hotel is also offers a free luggage storage service.
Don’t expect a 5 stars hotel, but it’s in a very convenient location, with a great staff and definitely has a lot of potential.
