“For a budget stay in Barcelona, it's hard to argue with this location-mere steps from La Rambla and the Boqueria market. The rooms are streamlined, and many come with a small balcony. Considering the price and central address, it's a practical base for exploring the city.”

amazing stay near the market!

great location friendly staff clean room daily service

The location was fantastic, right by the famous market! i found la rambla just a couple minutes away, and most attractions within walking distance. the staff was friendly and very helpful. They stored my luggage before and after checkout which was convenient. the room was also very clean and daily service was available. I was impressed!

The single room did not have a toilet. It only had a shower and a sink.

lack elevator night noise

The lack of an elevator WAS a real problem. Hauling luggage up the stairs wasn't fun. the noise at night (from nearby bars, i guess) made it difficult to sleep soundly. I found myself wishing i had brought earplugs.
