Location: outstanding. Room: great, but could have used a chair and desk (although that is clearly not the motif and they have a spacious common room, so it was fine). Breakfast: great - and they had a bar for beer, wine, coffee throughout the day.
The walls could have been thicker, but, while we noticed voices in other rooms, it was not enough to mar the stay. We were there before and during the lockout, so our experience in Barcelona was skewed, but if you have to be locked down in Barcelona, we had the right hotel for comfort and amenities. HOWEVER, the rooms are not amenable to traveling with kids (unless there was larger ones of which I was unaware).

The location was fantastic as it was so near the park and only a short walk to the marina and the beach. The staff were sooo friendly and really really helpful.
Yes i could sit and point out small things but it is what it says on the tin, boutique and basic. it has great interior and is in a fantastic location. The breakfast was a bit basic and wasn't with any hot food which is a nice touch but it is what it is

Amazing crew, very modern and comfortable room. Cool atmosphere. The meeting point with the modern interior (Vitra Design Furniture!) is absolutely great. We will come back!

Great location. Room amenities acceptable.
Three different days had trouble with the swipecard not working. Couldn't enter hotel and/or room, had to get new cards. Next to last day, room was not cleaned, no clean towels and bed not made. For two days the water refill machine did not. Our stay was for 8 days.

Good location. Rather nice, old town building. Not too formal staff, a kind of "Friends" atmosphere. Bikes for renting. Cozy reception-bar. Unusual adjustable led lighting in a room.
Not much to complain. Only... too low lights in corridors, too dark. And I didnt like specific decoration, tassles in corridors and in a room.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, croissants, pastries, cereals, frittata and a selection of cheese, meats and fruits. We really liked the lounge 'help yourself' area with the coffee machine, tea selection and cookies. We used this in the afternoons to recharge before going back out again! The light curtains were quirky and fun, the rooms were bright, modern and clean. The bed was firm but comfy. It was well located for the sights in combination with our travel pass cards. Staff recommended 'La Paradeta' restaurant which was a great way to enjoy some fresh local seafood.
- That we had to leave... ‐ Not so much a negative but be aware that theres a lot going on late and into the early hours on the local streets. If you plan to have an early night and are a light sleeper it might be better to book an interior room. It wasn't a problem for us as we were out late ourselves and not getting to bed until about 1am.

Great staff, great location, great breakfast, comfy bed. For the most part we enjoyed our stay here, though would have liked to be able to use the balcony which we'd paid for.
The toilets. There's no privacy from sound or smells to enter the rest of the room, and it's really uncomfortable and awkward if sharing the room with another person - even your partner.

Location, location, location.
Room layout was small & awkward with a strange shower opening out on to 2 steps & a step up into a boxed in toilet. Bizarre!

Disappointing
The bed was comfy, like the tea and coffee facilities in commual area. Staff were very friendly
We payed for superior room with a balcony, when I got my room the balcony was being worked on, the decking was up in places and there was a net on the front so no view. Plants were covered in dust with cigarettes butts in the soil. The balcony was not fit for use!!! We was not informed at reception when we checked in. Towels also had holes in them. Apparently our shower leaked and had to move rooms at 12.30 am, a letter was left on our door, even know we had been sitting in the bar most of the evening.

Location of this little unique hotel is amazing walking distance to everything close to the park and Arc Dr triumph 10 min walk to gothic center and Cathedral. Plenty of places to eat or have a drink around. Neighborhood feels safe. There is indeed a see through shower in the middle of the room but it can be closed with a curtain if needed. The free coffee/ tea and cookies are a defo bonus. All in all great little hotel with character.
Toilet flush was not working properly in room 15 and the lamp cover was falling off constantly but other than that everything was great.

Great location, rooms were modern design and clean. Great place to stay, I would be again.
Outside my room the floor made a loud noise every time it was walked on, but annoying while trying to sleep.
