Rooms Hola BCN B & B

We paid €94 for one night, and I expected much better. Cleanliness should be a given at any price. We were only in Barcelona for a night, so finding somewhere else would have disrupted our day, but if we'd booked several nights, we'd have left straight away. I wouldn't recommend it. Avoid at all costs. The photos are completely misleading. The room was small and dirty, with grubby marks on the walls and dirty window sills. There was only an internal window opening onto a communal stairwell. The air conditioning didn't work, so we couldn't sleep. With the window open, we looked straight into another guest's room. They left the light on and made a lot of noise late into the night, so privacy was an issue, and they could see us sleeping. You could also hear people throughout the whole block coming and going all night. The shower fixture was broken, and the kitchen was shabby and poorly fitted, without even a kettle. Don't expect somewhere bright and clean.

The staff were kind, helpful, and professional, and the flat was spotless. I went with a friend for a trip to Barcelona, and staying here made it an exquisite experience. The location is perfect, close to the Gothic area, plaça Catalunya, and Plaça de Barcelona. When I go back to Barcelona, I'll definitely book here again.

The hotel could use a deep clean. Even touching things like the door handles wasn't pleasant. My room's window was broken and wouldn't close, which made it really noisy.

Central location, good value, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I'd recommend it as a cheap place to stay in the center.
