Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests frequently mention the convenient location, especially its proximity to Placa d'Espanya and the airport bus stop, making getting around Barcelona easy. The rooms are generally considered spacious, clean, and well-maintained, and some feature a cute little terraced area.

perfect location nearby restaurants weird tone uncomfortable experience

The location was perfect. Straight nonstop bus for €7 runs across the street, which helped a lot. The hotel is located on a street with many restaurants to try. The staff was friendly and helpful.

the initial woman who checked me in was not very helpful, I would even go to say a bit rude. I inquired about the exchange rate as the credit card machine asks for preference, she said since I was american I choose USD. I was thrown off by her annoyance towards me, it set a WEIRD tone for me. I felt uncomfortable asking the front desk for anything after that.
