Its in an ideal location for the centre, close to metro lincs. Theres a lot of noise at night outside on the street. I was in a room for 6 women and it was very safe, I was solo travelling and even went out with 2 of the girls i met who were from Germany! There are lockers but you need your own padlock. The only possible issue was the toilet was accessible from the corridor and the lock from the inside was falling off :( Our balcony door was broken one day and once reported it was fixed by the next morning! Very good service!

Party place!!

I booked a private room with private bathroom on the understanding that this would be no frills but just a clean base for us to explore Barcelona. Location is perfect and right in the heart of La Rambla but this is where the good bits stop! We checked in and were told that towels are not included in the room price. I showed my booking confirmation which stated differently and I was told that the booking confirmation was incorrect. I was however given towels and not charged as it was not my error. The reception area is like a youth club, pool tables and youths sitting around drunk and playing drinking games. We quickly left to go to our room! When we got to the room it was very basic! 2 single beds, a sink in the bedroom and a separate wetroom with toilet. The beds had some sort of plastic mattress protector and they were very uncomfortable. However, this was not the worst thing in the world so we settled down for sleep.....yep that was not happening. There was people screaming, shouting, singing, falling over right outside our door and also in the street outside (no double glazing at this place) this went on until after 4am both nights (Monday and Tuesday) we had no sleep at all other than when we used earplugs to drown out a little of the noise. When we checked out we asked if we could leave our bags to be told there is also a charge to this (1 euro per hour) By this time we just wanted to go and never return!!

Really nice staff but the property, mainly the bathrooms, are absolutely disgusting. The worst public bathrooms I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s also standard to provide towels for free which isn’t the case here.
