28 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It's a nice place to stay. Small basic rooms with lovely beds, walking distance form the city center and a bunch of nice restaurants in the area. What do you need more?

Disliked: Nothing. Just don't go there if you're looking for a party place. And don't complain about the size of the room. You get what you pay for and you won't get a penthouse in Barcelona for €50 a night...

09 October 2011 Natasha would recommend this property

Liked: Lovely modern reception and cafe area with helpful, friendly staff. The room was as described and although the bathroom was small it was perfectly acceptable. Great not to be bothered by housekeeping. The kitchen area was bright and clean with a terrace outside. Location great - the street behind is full of interesting bars and a fantastic Pakistani curry/kebab shop.

Disliked: Nothing

17 September 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Location (metro stations Marina and Bogatell, beach, big mall El Centre de la Vila and some smaller shops), swimming pool, facillities, the coffee machine down stairs, young people/students, the airconditioning in our room, the view at the Sagrada Familia from our room and from the roof top the view at Torre Agbar at night!

Disliked: The general kitchen was not very well equipped. No glasses, no brush/ sponge/cleaning cloth to do the dishes. But that's all.

31 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location was good. The pool on the roof was awesome! Rooms were light and bright.

Disliked: The shower drain was blocked, so there were a few times that the shower overflowed into the main room. The bathroom was about as big as an aeroplane toilet (but that wasn't really an issue).

29 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Staff were super friendly and helpful. Room had everything you could need and it was good being able to cook your own food in the kitchen. Beds were comfy and rooms were safe and secure, I was travelling with a friend and we both got given a key card which often isn't the case and makes life a lot easier. Our shower must have been blocked and I flooded it but when we reported this they had it sorted within the hour. Rooftop pool is a winner, even if the view isn't great.

Disliked: It's a student residence rather than a hostel so it wasn't that easy to meet people and didn't have the best atmosphere.

03 July 2011 Peter would recommend this property

Liked: It was a great place, very good facilities. The pool is a nice touch, the kitchen is also very convincing. We were also very happy about the wifi in the room, which was perfect (a rarity). Also very safe.

Disliked: The rooms are very small, and the bathroom is a joke (comparable to an airplane toilet, with a non-adjustable shower head...). You can hear noises from other rooms sometimes.

30 September 2010 Kathrin would recommend this property

Liked: it looks a lot like a design hotel, thats what i really liked. especially the kitchen is a good place to cook and hang around. the staff was always very helpful and nice. i stayed there with a friend, but i wouldn recommend it to people who travel alone and want to meet other people. bathrooms in the rooms are okay, but very small...

Disliked: Kathrin left no negative feedback.

23 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: location, fully equipped kitchen, security

Disliked: room and bathroom sizes, the fact that they charge for everything 'additional' and that they haven't cleaned the room or offered to change the bedsheets once during our stay

13 August 2010

Liked: niente

06 August 2010

Liked: Localization was fine. 20mins walk to Montjuic and to old town. 5mins walk to metro.

Disliked: I had double room with bathroom. The room itself is very small, It is hard to lay down two bags. The bathroom is tiny maaaybe 1.5 m2. The curtain was dirty as well as the walls and shelf. The window had a little space that all sounds from the street were heard in the room. I raised that issue with the window but the lady in the reception said I should not have expected difference in the other rooms. During my stay in Spain I visited 9 hostels/hotels. This one is the worst one and most expensive.
