Select categories offer a balcony or a terrace - the Superior Double or Twin Room with Terrace and the Executive Double or Twin Room with Balcony are the most requested. Each room includes air conditioning, heating, and a private bathroom.

Location

Universitat Metro station is 100 metres from the hotel, and the Aerobus stop to Barcelona-El Prat Airport is the same distance. Plaza de Catalunya, Las Ramblas, and Passeig de Gràcia are all within a 5-minute walk. The Gothic Quarter and Born district are reachable on foot in 20 minutes.

Private check-in/check-out and a self-check-in system with entrance codes allow flexible arrivals. Luggage storage and locker rooms are available for guests arriving early or departing late.

Building

The hotel occupies the principal floor of a Modernist building, preserving original features such as French balconies and high painted ceilings. This architecture gives the property a local, apartment-like feel that contrasts with larger chain hotels. The building is non-smoking throughout and has a lift for access to the main floor.

“I was particularly struck by its prime location on Gran Via, balanced with impressively quiet rooms. The staff's attentiveness, from providing maps to offering local recommendations, clearly enhances the stay. In my opinion, the proximity to both metro and major attractions like Sagrada Familia makes it an ideal base for exploring Barcelona.”

location good, but sleep quality questionable

metro noise vibrating bed
the location was very convenient, making it easy to get around to various attractions.
I stayed in room 101 and the metro noise was a major issue. every time a train passed, the bed vibrated. It made sleeping very difficult. even with earplugs, the vibrations were too strong to ignore.

Acceptable Location, but Room Issues

The location was very central. It was superb for getting around.
My room faced a busy street, and it was quite noisy when I tried to sleep with the windows open. Sleeping with the air conditioning on and the windows shut may fix this.

mixed feelings about my stay

bad insulation missing amenities
The soundproofing was really not good. i could hear everything from the hallway and other rooms. also, there wasn't a kettle or fridge in the room. I expected more for the price i paid. it felt more like a hostel than a hotel. I was a little disappointed.
