8.1Verified guest“The hotel was well located just a few minutes' walk from La Rambla and close to Universitat and Catalunya metro stations. The room was quite large and cleaned daily with fresh sheets. Though there was no in-room tea or coffee, a very cheap coffee machine and snack machine were handy for late nights. The staff were very helpful, even assisting with a wheelchair and stairs each time we left or returned.”
