The hotel's location is excellent, not far from Casa Milà and Casa Batlló. The front desk staff were very welcoming. When checking in, they needed to collect some personal information, and the city tax was paid upon check-out. The mini-bar in the room is chargeable, but on the first day, we received a complimentary bottle of water and some chocolates. The room overall was very clean with good facilities. Breakfast was also quite good. Barcelona isn't very large, so it's quite convenient to get around everywhere.

The room is clean and tidy. The air inside is pleasant. The breakfast is very delicious. The location is excellent, only a ten-minute walk from the Sagrada Familia. The only drawback is that the window of the first room was blocked. After communicating with the front desk, we were moved to a room with a view of the outside.

We have not received our deposit back. We checked in late at night after several flights, and the process was quite slow and exhausting. At check-in, we paid an additional €110, which included breakfast for two people and a deposit. However, the deposit has still not been returned. Moreover, the hotel now claims that the payment was only for breakfast, and they have informed us via email that they will not refund the deposit. This contradicts what we were told at reception, where we were assured that the deposit would be returned shortly after check-out. We did not expect such an issue from a hotel of this standard. Unfortunately, as this was the first stop of our journey, it left us with a rather negative impression. The hotel is quite remote. We were told the view would be of the city, but in reality it was of the highway. The pool was closed. The breakfast was good, but it ended up costing us 110 euros (if the don't return a deposit)—which is too expensive.

Upon checking in, they will give you a welcome drink. They will show you around your assigned room. Bed was very comfortable and there’s aircon in each rooms. Kitchen is sufficient and there’s a lot of chairs to sit in. Breakfast was simple but filling. Overall, I had a very comfortable stay.

The hotel is located in a residential area, about a ten-minute walk from the beach. There's a bus stop right outside, and it's a 10-15 minute bus ride or a 20-25 minute walk to the Arc de Triomphe. There are also many great cafes and restaurants nearby. The hotel itself is large, new, and well-equipped, offering excellent value for money. My only minor complaint is that the room felt a bit stuffy.

The room in this hotel was quite small; it felt very cramped with two beds. We booked a room with two beds, but they actually gave us one with three beds, which made it hard to find space for luggage. On the plus side, the location is convenient for getting taxis anywhere. The hotel lobby is nicely decorated and feels cozy, and the breakfast offers a good variety of options. The room amenities, like shampoo, shower gel, and body lotion, are all NUXE brand, and they smell quite good.

This is a good dormitory. I was able to use the showers and toilets at good times without them being crowded. If the showers aren't cleaned regularly, it could affect other guests. I was in a 6-person room, and everyone was very considerate. It can be tricky to know when to turn lights on and off, but everyone was respectful, so it wasn't stressful at all. Having a supermarket next door was also very convenient. The staff only spoke Spanish, but they were very kind! I recommend this place to anyone looking to save money.

Эта квартира супер 🔥 там несколько комнат и общая кухня , некоторые комнаты с личной ванной комнатой и туалетом. У нас был номер на двоих с удобствами. Ну кухне было всё необходимое и приготовить можно и постирать вещи, разогреть еду и холодильник. Посуда - в общем всё что надо. Очень чисто и современно. Заселение без ресепшена, так что терпение, нужно звонить и писать, немного подождать и вас встретят, проводят до квартиры. Расположение тоже хорошее, все в пешей доступности. Мы были очень довольны, спасибо 🌹 Рекомендую 💯
