The hotel is rather in a simple style, but actually it makes a very friendly impression. Sometimes we had however almost fear the lift to use, because when you enters, he about 10 centimeters mach down = S. The hotel room it has us actually not very much, because we had no balcony and saw only a small inner courtyard. When you window top looks, sees one the sky only by a small grating= (. The room was very clean and the towels would every day changed. The bathroom is not large, but large enough for 2 people good. The ... hotel's location is great: in the middle of la Rambla = D there was always something going on. It has lots of different restaurants, bars and some pubs. To the beach it are about 15 minutes, you can however at the port along go, especially in the evening very beautifully= ). On the whole the hotel was for us very good, I would however the next time a room with a balcony book (you can also place for a extra charge of 25 euros per night). I would this hotel especially for young people, not much luxury need, recommend, because it is at a perfect location and in the area was always something loosely! = D read more

Good for a city break in Barcelona

Good for a city break to Barcelona. The price is OK and if you don't spend much time in the hotel it was more than adequate. The location is very good. A bus goes directly to the beach. The metro is also directly in front of the door and drove to all attractions in a short time. Lots of restaurants and shopping possibilities, supermarkets in the vicinity. However, you should rather go in the side streets to eat. The room was very small. We booked the standard room and this had unfortunately no mini bar, and only a window into ... a tray (was very dark) safe was available, as well as an air-conditioning. Has everything worked with no problems. However, the air conditioning was very noisy. The whole room has only about eight sqm and is small with a built-in closet. Space for us and our two suitcases was hardly and bump with the door to the bed when you enter the room. The bathroom was 'relatively spacious with bathtub. The cleanliness was generally okay. We booked breakfast, which generally already recommend for Barcelona, as the food here is quite expensive. The breakfast in the hotel was completely in order and sufficient. It is nothing special, but you'll be full. We can recommend the hotel to all visitors to Barcelona, would possibly a category rates to book if the rather small room. read more

This hotel has a good price/performance ratio for a city break. It is very centrally located directly on la Rambla not far from the harbor. The beach is in 15 minutes to foot traffic connections is reachable and the excellent. For my taste the room was, as well as the window was a bit too small. Furthermore, the window in a small ugly inner courtyard does not light enough (cool) have air came in. read more

The mattress was more than uncomfortablly, sleep was the 5 nights as good as impossible. Furthermore was the room totally characterless in edema grays... At least a little color on the walls would have been nice. Our room went to the backyard out and the Catalans seem the bad habit to have, in the middle of the night the streets to cleanse and the bins empty... With the noise we could hardly a didn't sleep a wink. the only beautiful was the verhältnisnmä��ig massive bathroom. Bath tub, toilet, hair dryer and washbasin... There was everything we needed definitely not. the balcony is relatively small, but the outside Sit and smoke it is he. air conditioning quite loud and also only walk, while the card is inserted. Since we as a couple and two maps had, we always leave one there, since the temperature in the room otherwise intolerable was.

    the hotel lies right on la Rambla, the tourist road in Barcelona. The location is really not to beat, 600 meters to the placa de Catalunya, 400 meters to the port of Barcelona... And in between a stand next to the other, in which you all possible and impossible can buy souvenirs. Eat all couple Meters possible, however accordingly the beaten track also more expensive than in the town. to the airport there are about 20 minutes with the taxi and about half an hour with the airport bus. from placa de Catalunya various touribusse (different routes) from, so you can Barcelona very easily visit, at any time off, if you wanted to see more, and then simply in the next next bus and keep driving.

The hotel exceeded our expectations. We had booked a superior room. It was on the backside of the hotel. The view was not exhilarating, but that was not important for us. So it was very quiet. The room, as the whole hotel is obvious new equipped were. The furnishing was functional and well, a safe was available, the bathroom was large and clean. The staff was very helpful and nice. If you breakfast for more than two days, you pay 8.50 bay euro per person/day. The location could not be more central. We can recommend this hotel for all ... visitors to barcelona. The optimal traffic connections. read more

    The hotel faces the very busy tourist road "La Rambla, why we specifically distracted noise at night. Our room faced the inner courtyard, so it was very quiet. Campsites had no view, but that was not importnant to us, as the night's sleep and peace for sleep in ... ! From the airport can be easily reached: with the Airbus about 20-30 minutes and then down the Ramblas (circa10-15 minute walk). Shopping and entertainment all kinds (restaurants, bars, kiosks, fresh market, Touristenstände & shops, clothing stores (famous, such as H&M, and Spanish Laybel) and clubs) through the closeness to everything within walking distance. To the beach a bit longer (circa30 minutes in the peace and quiet), but can be a velo-taxi. The town we us with the "hop-on-hop-off-buses" at one day. Have seen so "all" and via headphones important information. You can get off at any time and the attractions intensive attention.

Hotel is primarily from its location directly on the Ramblas. Therefore, it is however around the hotel also very lively and partly noisy if you are on the street side. We had booked a standard - rooms: the but all at the back in a small airshaft view and are only very sparsely furnished. Reminds you very much takes a hostel, we decided to upgrade for a surcharge and chose a superior room, whereas these Appointment as superior doubtful because you just a "well furnished" room has -knows nothing "upscale". Bathroom with hair dryer / room with satellite TV, safe ... and wireless internet. We had 2 single beds pushed together, something we didn't quite optimal found, but were comfortable and therefore OK Via Sat-TV we got international TV channels. However, the selection of channels general limited, as we all in all with Spanish u Italian TV degrees time on 12 channels. Front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in with Airbus from the airport possible without a problem. Get off at Placa de Catalunya and south along the Ramblas, about 15 minutes on foot. Also drive from Placa de Catalunya with underground, you can only 150 meters to the hotel. Tip: food at the Ramblas expressly avoid! Large tourist rip-off! Definitely local/gastronomy in the sidestreets respectively visit Paralellstraßen. about 30 % cheaper especially with drinks! read more

There was nothing going on here so this hotel is located at the bottom of Las Ramblas. It has a very good location because it is in a few minutes either at the harbor or in the Barri Gothic and in a good 20 minutes walk on the Place de de la Catalunya. Depending on where your room then be, you will find a balcony facing the Las Ramblas. As the road or promenade a magnet crowds is full you can expect noise disturbance in the night. But we really bother us, and that is why this place for anyone ... little very sensitive ears that it very noisy. You can hear the neighbors talking as if they would be next to the bed available and if someone sanitary as toilet or shower in a earsplitting display sound in the room. It was especially in the early wake-up with the Morgendusche if the guests start the day the sudden end of the partly Disordered sleep. The employees of the hotel were very friendly and helpful! The selection at the breakfast buffet was surprisingly spacious. Selection of cereals, toast and rolls, teas, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juices and fresh fruit. All in all, it was a nice stay even if you didn't really had his peace at night. read more
