“This property sits right in the heart of the action, a block from Casa Batlló and close to a metro stop, offering easy access to the city; rooms are clean and beds comfortable. It's a solid choice for a short, budget-conscious stay, though some areas could use an upgrade. If you are looking for a cheap and well located hotel this will do the job.”
