7.4Verified guest“A nice-sized room with a balcony and a mini fridge, just as advertised. The meals were great, and the location is wonderful, just steps from Plaza Real.”
7.4Verified guest“Tastefully decorated and spotless room with a reasonably large bathroom. The check-in was friendly, and there is parking nearby.”
7.4Verified guest“Excellent location, almost opposite the old hospital where Gaudi died, now a library with a beautiful orange garden. It's 5 minutes to the Rambla, the Gothic Quarter is opposite, Boqueria Market is 3 minutes, and the Columbus monument is 10–15 minutes away. The room matched the description, the staff had no faults, and the bathroom supplies were restocked daily. The elevator made a big difference.”
7.4Verified guest“Perfectly located, 3 minutes from Liceu Metro and Las Ramblas and Boqueria Market. Rooms are not large but fine for two for a week. Clean and well maintained, though there's no safe.”
