Thank you very much for your comment and note. Certainly sometimes there can be connection problems, for various reasons, not always under our control. But we are glad that it could be solved. Thanks and see you soon!

Great Value Clean Facility and Comfortable Bed
Great value room with easy access to public transport not far from La Rambla. We knew it wasn't going to be a large room, being an 'economique', but bed was very comfortable and both the room and bathroom facilities were spotlessly clean. Ideal if you just want somewhere clean and comfortable. Who wants to spend time in their room in Barcelona?

Worst stay ever
I love Barcelona but this property shouldn’t be allowed being on your website. Unprofessional and rude staff, the manager was the worst. No understanding of customer service and customer needs. T/C can justify their behavior. No never more and that I will spread on social media.

Since your discomfort was due to us reminding you of the rules and usages of the booked room. The fact of booking a room does not entitle you to perform any type of act within it, in breach of the registration of customers at the police level in Spain and our establishment.

Charged me €35 Euro for taking a friend back to the room for an hour and this wasn’t explained beforehand. Also a lot of noise outside the room door which woke me up early. Would not be staying here again on my next visit to Barcelona.

Response from Maribel (Reservas) on Oct 7, 2019
Dear guest, good morning! Even as Anonymous, we know who you are, as charging 35Euros per extra person, is not that common. Please remember, you booked a Single Room, in single use, not double. We have explained in our conditions, when doing your booking, and in your room in the door and in the Indications inside, that guests/ visitors are not allowed at any time. And will mean an extra cost of 35Euros per person per night occupaying existing beds. So it was more than explained during your reservation, and during your stay, but more importantly, in any case, you booked a single room for single use, and not a single room for two people. The irregularity was not committed by us, but by you. Thank you

Dear customer, of course it seems you talk about another establishment or another customer, because if a point stands out from us, is the perfect location, and the high level of cleanliness. What is strange to me, that reviewing the observations to your booking, in your file, the cleaning service indicated that you had everything very messy in the bed and on the room, complicating much the cleaning service. If we were not up to your standards, maybe you were wrong about the place, but considering the price you paid that does not reach 100Euros per night, in our location, and in our category, something does not match what you said. Keep in mind that our cleaning service is perhaps one of the best you can find, and we are proud of it. And not only do we say it, but also the majority of our customers On the other hand, it is a single building, with 3 access stairs. His room was on a staircase different from the reception, in fact, a very nice room overlooking the private gardens. It is a modernist building, protected by Heritage in our country. You should read exactly what you reserve, so as not to create false expectations to your standards. About the amenities, we put the basic amenities: gel, shampoo and soap. What else do you expect in our place?

Great location, terrible hotel!
Let me start with the positive of this place and that is its great location right in the heart of Barcelona. Apart from its location it is the most basic and uncomfortable of hotels. The bed is what I imagine a prison bed to be like and the air conditioning is controlled by the maintenance man who only put it on for about 3 hours a day (1 hour evening and 2 in a morning) which makes no sense at all!!! The heat on a night was unbearable and we hardly slept. You also have to buzz into the hotels main doors.

Response from Reservas on Jul 16, 2019
It is very easy to complain, the difficult thing is to understand, or to want to understand, since what you are saying from 1 hour to night and 2 hours to the morning is a lie. About to buzz on the hotel door, if you had read the details of our establishment, it is already indicated that you are in a private heritage protected building, and therefore, access is restricted and exclusive. Point clearly indicated, and most grateful point, for the security that this means for the building and for customers. If at any time you had a problem with the room a/c thermostat, you only had to ask the receptionist, who would gladly check it. As you will understand ... we can not guess what happens at all times with the devices. Thank you

Response from Bookings CIUDAD CONDAL on Jul 2, 2019
Dear customer, we do not control the use of Air Conditioning, but we do control the misuse or abuse of air conditioning, which is different. On the other hand, each room has a temperature sensor, together with a general temperature sensor. It could be that some rooms, more exposed to the sun, are warmer, but as easy as requesting it to Reception, so that they rise in the temperature sensor. It is also a measure, to avoid that in these times of the year, where the use is so intensive, we have breakdowns with it, which would be much worse. We regret your discomfort and wish you a happy day

Joseph's stay in Ciudad Condal
A very high class hostal in a very expensive area and very safe to stay in the Principal floor of a residential building with high security. Owners were very helpful even though they hardly understand English. Again the disappointing thing is absolutely noEnglish TV channels in such a highclasshostal.

Amazing hotel location and staff
Great in every possible way. I did not feel like the staff was rude at all so I can’t comment on what people have said in other reviews. I will say why would you expect people to speak English in a country where English isn’t an official language? So that issue in some reviews is ridiculous. Great location easy to walk or grab a cab. Close to great restaurants. Neighborhood is beautiful. 11/10

Not the worst but certainly not the best
Honestly i thought it was just an okay place to stay. The room was quite small and basic which i am used to with travelling however the one window to the room was clearly above the hostals sewer system as when it was open a clear smell would fill the room. The air conditioning was too basic, unclear and frankly did not work. Even after i pointed it out to the night receptionist who tried to explain it to me, the system continued to only work at 5 degrees or 25 degrees...both pped out hot air which made no sense. Fantastic location, 24 hour reception with friendly staff and good daily room cleaning but if you have a slightly higher budget use it for somewhere a little nicer.

Response from Bookings Manager on Apr 14, 2019
Dear customer, we regret your comments. We are at that time of the year, in which we have customers who demand air conditioning, and customers who demand heating. And machines can only do one thing or the other ... it's complicated, and we can not always satisfy everyone. On the other hand, about your room and the window, it is clearly indicated in the description of the room when you book (a Double Economic in your case), both the size, as it is an interior room, without views to the outside, to the so-called "patios de luces", very common in Barcelona, ​​and in the Eixample area of ​​Barcelona. On future occasions, we recommend you book a Double Superior room, you will like it much more. On the budget, seeing that you said you had traveled a lot, note that each city, and city area is different ... our area and our price, is the best choice that a traveler can have in Barcelona. Of course, you can find better rooms for lower prices, but not in this area of ​​Barcelona. Thank you and have a nice day!

This little hotel is a great place to stay when visiting Barcelona. The location is fantastic, and the hotel offers an excellent value. It's very clean and quiet, and the staff is very kind and professional. There is no breakfast or coffee service, but next door you have Jamaica, a very nice coffee house, and directly across the street is a Costa Coffee. Also, downstairs there is a small supermarket which I found very handy. In a neighborhood of very expensive hotels, this place really stands out for the exceptional value it has to offer.
