  : George is a kind and helpful host. The room was clean and the location is fantastic - close to both the Gothic Quarter and public transportation to the Gaudi works, as well as a sweet promenade through the Eixample.
  : I had hoped to find a pensin for much less, but I guess these are the going rates these days.

  : Perfect location. Easy to walk to Gaudi sites, the Gothic quarter, and the Gracias neighborhood. Great pedestrian street around the corner. It was also clean and quiet.
  : Our room faced other buildings so we had no terrace ore view out to the street. The upside was it was entirely quiet.

Disappointing

  : The only great thing was service, which was super nice. George was very welcoming, gave us tips about where to eat, and accommodated helping us when we requested to store the bag. Cleaniness was good.
  : This place felt like an old apartment transformed into a couple of rooms to rent as a hostel, and the overall stay was quite unpleasant. Very noisy, since you can hear everything- from people speaking in the corridors when they come in and out, every time someone would close/open their doors, as well as whatever was happening inside the bedrooms next to you. One night was particulary bad since some guests came from partying at 2am screaming, and there is nobody from staff in place during the night to prevent such situations. The beds are quite hard so we woke up with sore neck and back. The shower plate also got clogged so you were showering in a puddle. The light had very blue hue which gave it a hospital feeling, so not pleasant to spend some time in between activities either. We paid way too much, and it definitely does not deliver on the 8.6 rating.
