Small room, but given the location it was reasonable. The person at the front desk helped carry our suitcases up, and also when we checked out they carried them back down. Evan I think was there for our check in and was extremely welcoming. Gave us a rundown of the city and what is worth seeing. Great hospitality. Overall our stay was good~

Conveniently Located
The hostel is located directly off La Ramblas, making it very convenient to go out and explore the city, either by walking or by public transportation. The private room was clean, but the shower and bathroom were quite small. The door to the bathroom was frosted glass, so privacy was a bit of an issue.

6/10 INSANELY small, can barely fit 2 carry on suitcases and 2 people in the room. The “bathroom” is a sink, toilet and shower in 1. When you shower, the water soaks the toilet and sink and anything in it. The mattress is hard as a rock. Great location, walkable to everything. Staff was nice and helpful

Lift your suitcases a spiral staircase!!!
Tiny room with tiny bathroom. Thin walls hearing other people in other rooms. This hotel is located on the 1st floor of a bldg which includes going up a 28 step (normally 14 steps/flr in US) winding cement staircase (see photos) to access from the G (ground) floor hall entry. It even includes in the Hotel Facility Accessibility Description: “Elevator” for handicap even including a wheel chair photo (impossible). All Guests are required to manually lift their own individual suitcases up a 28 step spiral cement staircase to get to their 1st floor Check In desk. If you are traveling with heavy luggages (ie: 50lbs each allowance for airline), you will be expected to walk up your suitcases to the 1st floor where a tiny elevator is located to get from Flr # 1-4. Their is no porter service (had to beg for assistance & offer $10 tip). While the hotel discloses that an elevator is available from the 1st floor. It does not disclose that there are 28 steps spiral stairs for the guest to climb up to get to the 1st floor. There are over 70 photos provided by the hotel to show their rooms & facilities. However, no photos of the stairs? They indicate that it is on the welcome email after you book a non-refundable room. I even complained on the "welcome email" which was sent via Hotel.com & never received a rsponse from the Hotel. This false advertisement of “Handicap” accessibility is illegal and should be flagged by Travel websites.

This property is right on Las Ramblas. Our room faced the action! We had to leave at 3am for a flight and the staff made breakfast available for us even at that early time. Highly recommend!
