  Location great, room terrible

  03 Oct 2024

  Stayed 3 nights, the location is terrific, walking distance to everything. Shoe box size room plus the air conditioner was broken the entire time, the manager didn’t know when it was going to be fixed. Not a comfortable stay. I wouldn’t stay here again.

  Would not recommend

  22 Feb 2020

  booked this place as it was the only place that offered a private bathroom at a decent price. Everything else was shared & overpriced. No kettle in the room nor was there access to one as there was no kitchen at the property, no breakfast facilities in the morning. Best thing was the location everything walking distance like shops, metro station & buses. Smelly room sewage like smell, no actual duvet, just sheets & a old smelly dirty blanket.no lift ok fair enough but no decent lighting in the actual room & the stairs leading up to the apartment converted in rooms, I mean a couple of euros job to get some light bulbs up & working you can easily do it yourself without paying anyone. So that people can actually see where they are walking, if it weren’t for my phone light I probably would have fell & broken my legs. As you have to walk up a few good steps to reach the place.Tv in the room didn’t even work Room was tiny and I mean tiny not even exaggerating, I’d say it’s only for one person, I booked it for me & 11 year old daughter & we could be barely move.Horrible dirty, no one there like receptionist The day I arrived, the owner or so said what time I’m getting there I did say 12 but I got there about 1, don’t think she was pleased with me because that meant she had to wait around for me, Kept on saying get eurobus so I could get there fast so she could go well tough I wasn’t paying extra just to get the eurobus as I’d already paid for the three day metro/bus ticket which I would recommend to you to save a lot of money. If you plan to use public transport. Internet very slow, Barcelone was amazing, would highly recommended to anyone & I would like to go back one day, but this hotel or what ever it is, I would not recommend to anyone. It wasn’t cheap at £110 for three nights only as I booked it a year before.

  Great location

  07 Nov 2018

  The hotel from outside was not very welcoming and the inside of the entrance is very dirty and dingy looking. The lift is only very small and so will only hold one person at a time with a large case, i think this is because it is more a residential building not a hotel.The hotel is located on the first floor and after our initial check in we were shown to our room which was room 1.We were made aware that there is no room service available on a weekend which i think should be mentioned on the booking but there is a cupboard for fresh towels and toilet roll if they are needed.Inside the room i feel that it could do with a repaint to freshen up as there is areas that are marked and not very well decorated, but for us it was just a base to sleep and shower.The beds are very comfortable, the shower was very powerful and plenty of hot water which is all we needed.You get what you pay for and the price reflects this, yes you could stay close by and the room be twice the price.The best for us is the location, it is a 1 minute walk to the metro, which we used to get around the city rather the hop on hop off bus which is 30 euros per person per day, we bought a metro ticket for both of us for 2 days for 30 euros!The hotel is a 2 minute walk to the cathedral, a large square and a 5 minute walk to Pl Catalunya which is were the Aerobus drops you if using this from the airport.The hotel is only a 5 minute walk from Las Ramblas and is surrounded by restaurants and bars.So all in all the hotel is basic but is in a fantastic location for all that you need, i was in Barcelona to see the city not the hotel room.We would use this hotel again if returning to Barcelona

  A Bit of a Disappointing Stay

  21 Sept 2018

  We stayed at the Annex 4 years ago when it was connected to Hotel Jaume 1 across the street. It was okay then but it seems to have gone down hill since. I booked 2 rooms 9 months ago yet upon arrival my wife and I were placed in room 7 which is an interior room with no exterior window by Albert. Our friends were given a lovely room with twin beds, exterior window and balcony. I was quite angry about this. On top of this 2 guys two rooms away were smoking and our room was intaking their smoke. Supposed to be non-smoking place. We spent 2 unpleasant nights in 7 and then Laurielle moved us to room 3 with an exterior window and balcony. Thank you Laurielle. This made our stay more bearable because we had stayed in this room 4 years ago. Room service when it occurred (twice by the ladies in 7 days) was shoddy at best: change towels and make bed; no cleaning whatsoever. Laurielle (nice young man) cleaned our room twice and did a better job. He cleaned the sink and cleaned the floor. As for location it is right in the middle of the Barri Gotic a half a block from St. Jaume Square which is where city hall and other Government buildings are. 1 block off via Laetania, 5 blocks to the Rambla, 12 minutes walk to Placa Catalonia (aerobus). Entry to Annex through a very annoyingly squeaky door, dark entry point, tiny elevator good for suitcases and one person , dark staircase even with lights. Fairly secure room: outside door, inside apartment entry door and then personal room a key for each point. Safe in each room which is important in Barcelona. You do not want to be carrying a wallet or personal ID while moving about Barcelona. It is the pickpocket capital of the world. So make your choice. A dinghy questionably clean room in a good location or spring for a more expensive room elsewhere.

  Very Basic, last resort option.

  19 Jun 2018

  Arrived late to these apartments (not a hotel at all) so there was no one to let us in.Called all the mobile numbers on the door with no answers so we had to find another hotel in Barcelona which at 11:00 pm was a nightmare. Got in to the apartment the next morning and was told that there was no aircon and the rooms are not made over the weekend (Great).So basically its a large apartment and all the rooms have been made into bed rooms with an on-suite with a window that opens into an internal roof space.Would be OK for one night or a stag do stay.
