We have stayed at this property previously, and the room was awesome, with plenty of room, very quiet and comfortable. Unfortunately, this time the room we had (on the same floor but in different area) was not good. We heard every noise from neighboring rooms at all hours of the night so that was disappointing and disruptive, but it won't stop us from staying there again in the future if the opportunity arises.

Great hotel, run by people who are passionate about treating their guests the right way! Great at answering all your questions and concerns. The only negative has nothing to do with the hotel but just the location. Close to transit but very sketchy at night.

Great locstion, excellent service. Bathroom was a little tired (cracked cistern), wardrobe door and bathroom door also damaged. Surrounding area has great selection of restaurants. Crime in area though. Saw two incidents of theft; one in a supermarket, another where someone attempted to rob a person of their bags in the street. Made us wary to leave hotel in the evening. Public transport excellent, adjacent to parral-lel station. Again, lots of beggars at the station though, some aggressive and moved on by staff.

The hotel is right next to a metro stop and walking distance to the old part of Barcelona. Our room looked onto the street though and because of the metro stop, it was fairly noisy with people walking past.
