What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Simply amazing. I had a very warm welcome upon check-in. The room was spacious, clean and the furniture well taken care of. Together with the excellent location and a fair price I’m more than happy to come back to this boutique hotel.”
“Location is just perfect very central. Rooms are clean and lobby is great to relax with free tea and coffee thank you”
“THE PERFECT location. It is close to absolutely everything. The airport bus stops around the corner. The metro is right next to the hotel. The hotel is basic but clean and comfortable. The staff was very courteous. Would stay here again.”
“I was very pleased with our stay. The playful and quirky details made me smile at every turn. Fabulous location. Really nice and very helpful front desk check-in. Our room was clean and comfortable (with slippers, snacks and a branded tote bag too). The lounge had ample amenities for an urban boutique hotel at this price point. We will see you again!”
“Great Location on the top of la rambla. Easy to the beach and all the Tapas Restaurants and Bars in El born. The hotel itself is very basic; however, the rooms are clean, the bed is comfortable, and the staff are very helpful. They offer free water and tea all day and night. It’s quite noisy because there is almost no sound insulation. However, you get what you pay for, and since it’s one of the least expensive hotels, I was happy to stay there.”
