Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was small but quite comfortable and clean, located in a fairly quiet area that is still close enough to the city center. The rooms felt a bit tight for the two of us and the luggage, though we weren't carrying too many items or big bags. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, except for one guy during some night shifts. Dining options were around the hostel area and not included, but the hotel was still a nice cheap and friendly option. The location is great, just outside the busiest parts of the city and very close to Urgell metro station.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The rooms, though a bit small and lacking a fridge and balcony, were very clean and more spacious than I expected, especially considering the great value of €100 per person for 3 nights. The service, particularly the friendly and helpful staff acting like personal tour guides, was the highlight of my stay. The location was excellent, close to everything I wanted to visit and with plenty of nearby cafes and restaurants to enjoy. However, the dining options were limited, without breakfast provided, though there was a nearby eatery named 'wok dao' to try out.
