The surroundings is a bit loudly and shabby but you shouldn’t expect luxury in Bari Gotic area. The location is excellent base for tours to Eixample, Montjuic, Olympic Village and Bari Gotic itself of course.
The room was fine, cleaned every day, specious enough, with safe for my laptop and small belongings, passports etc.
The staff are friendly, speak in many languages and very helpful.
Breakfasts (paid separately) a little bit monotonic but again, if you stay there for few days as most tourists do, you can bear it (you can always go to placa Reial for morning coffee instead).
In general: good price/performance factor. I would stay there if I went to Barcelona again.
Excellent location at the bottom of the Ramblas/Gothic Quarter, just 5 minutes' walk to the sea. No breakfast included, but we thought that 5 EUR for a buffet meal was very reasonable. Overall great value for money (considering location) and would stay again.
Overall it was a pleasant stay, just 1 block from the center. Continental breakfast is very good and only 5 euros. Street is noisy and occupied with teens all night long. Walking there along late will be scarry. Stuff were friendly and tried to help, just 1 time i called and asked for the soap and was told that he is busy, and later he forgot to send it to us. But for the price we paid it is very discent hotel, we would use it again
Very hard to find the hotel departing from Plaza Catalunya, but, anyway, the service offered is very competitive to be a 1star hotel...
Clean room, but the manager didn't want to give me some infos about the city..I found it not normal.....
anyway, it's a good point of departure to visit Barcelona....6+
