Not a fancy hotel but very clean , comfortable beds and warm helpful staff.
Pros:

The staff were so welcoming and helpful, and the location was very close to Las Ramblas.

Cons:

The alley on which the hotel was located was very narrow and the view from our room had a very intimate view of the neighbour across the alley. We could watch his TV!

Pros:

Buona posizione, struttura pulita e nuova, comodo il letto, piccolo il bagno, migliorabile l'isolamento acustico dai rumori della strada (finestre a vetro singolo)

Cons:

Abbiamo dimenticato un paio di occhiali da vista (di discreto valore e importanti per proseguire la vacanza viste le lenti graduate personalizzate) in stanza dopo il check out e già due ore dopo è stato impossibile ritrovarli nonostante il tempestivo avviso alla reception per telefono e mail.
Il personale della reception, ad eccezione di una signora, potrebbe essere più gentile.
