Positive Reviews
positive:
Explore Barcelona on foot or with transit
People reported that a stay in this guesthouse gave them a strategic logistical position for striking out into the tourist attractions of Barcelona: For one, it appears that you can quite easily walk to places like Ciutat Vella old town, La Rambla boulevard and Placa Catalunya, while transport options like airport bus links and a metro station are apparently just an easy stroll away.
positive:
Clean and compact rooms for cheap
These simple rooms were said to be compact, clean, tidy, equipped with free Wi-Fi and most importantly to those who stayed, the price they paid for staying here was low — seemingly perfect for those trying to explore Barcelona on a budget.
positive:
Kind and friendly staff on check-in
Guests said that the staff members who checked them in were kind, courteous and friendly sorts. In addition to this, the lack of any dining on site was made up by an apparently good selection of restaurants, cafes and bars in the immediate area.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No A/C, no windows in some, soundproofing minimal
According to guest reviews, the fact that these rooms do not have air conditioning meant that they had the potential to be muggy and stifling in the night, something that some people really did not enjoy, especially if they had no window. Furthermore, the soundproofing between rooms was occasionally noted as leaving something to be desired.
negative:
No kitchen, fridges and a shared bathroom
Some of those who stayed here said that they were disappointed with the lack of kitchen facilities or even fridges in their rooms, while others would really have liked to have seen more bathrooms to be shared between the guests.
