The hotel offers a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks. The rooms, though basic, are clean and quite cozy. The service is incredibly helpful and friendly but could use some improvement in certain areas. The location is convenient, although slightly distant from the main tourist spots. The dining experience is average with a decent variety of continental options. Overall, a decent value for money choice with a few aspects to consider.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although small, offered a nice view of Espania Square. The service provided was different in an interesting way compared to other hotels, with polite and friendly staff who were very helpful. The location, while convenient next to Sants station for my 24-hour journey, could've been closer to Las Ramblas for future visits. The dining experience was average, with a continental buffet not worth the extra cost. The hotel facilities were satisfactory but nothing exceptional.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable, facing an inner courtyard, which was a nice place to sit and enjoy the evening. The service was friendly and helpful, although the noise from exits and entrances at night made it a bit hard to sleep. The location was very convenient, especially being close to Sants station for my 24-hour journey. The dining experience was mostly good, with a nice selection of items, although the coffee was weak at times. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is in a good location, close to subways, restaurants, and markets. The rooms, though lacking a refrigerator and showing some age, are spacious but smaller compared to other hotels. The service is very approachable and friendly, with some minor oversights. The dining experience offers a good variety with fresh baked goods daily. The overall value for money is reasonable.

The hotel had a bit of a humid smell in the rooms, was on the smaller side, and a bit noisy in the morning due to the elevators. However, the service was very friendly and helpful. The location was great, near plenty of dining options and easily accessible to Plaza Espanya. The dining experience had a wide variety but average tasting food. The facilities need a bit of maintenance.

The hotel's rooms, although small and devoid of natural light, offered an interior building view with no light passing through. The service was interesting and different from average hotels, with kind and friendly staff. The location, although slightly far from some attractions, was very good with ease of access to transportation. The dining experience, especially for pastries, was friendly and helpful, but the beef dishes stood out.

The hotel rooms could get very hot and humid during the evening, with a slightly tired decor. Despite this, the atmosphere was cool, albeit a bit damp, and the breakfast served was fantastic. The central shaft of the hotel, previously criticized for being dark, now boasts an attractive stained-glass mural at the bottom.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were clean and provided both Wi-Fi and air conditioning, the lack of a real window made it feel a bit closed in, and the noise levels were quite noticeable. The service, on the other hand, was polite, very friendly, and professional. The location was convenient, being close to the Barcelona Main Train Station, although it could be noisy at times. The dining options were tasty with a variety of choices. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
