    furniture, corridors, noise, shaking walls from metro right under hotel a worker spoke russian to me even tho i talked english back to him overpriced but sadly like everything else in barcelona as well

    location was the best thing about this booking, close to tourist attractions, old town, metro, markets on the square, restaurants nearby, balcony & view from the balcony

    There is not much facilities like fridge, common kitchen, coffee dispenser, hot/cold drinks/snack dispenser, at least to make one's stay feeling like home! For its price, I think clients deserved better facilities.

    Very good location, no doubt a good place to hang around in Placa Reial. It has clean towels and room, a functioning shower and comfortable stay. Very kind people

    The location was amazing - right in the center of a lovely and lively plaza with lots to eat and do. Everything in walking distance. The rooms were clean with clear accessibility of how to enter and leave the hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Plaça Reial is truly a beautiful place, we’ve had a room with the balcony and view of the square. Absolutely worth it. Great location and easy to get around the city.

    Bathroom could do with a bit more ventilation, some simple ammenities in room or by reception such as coffee, Tea, a kettle would be so good. And I think that would really improve the ratings

    Great location, staff (Marissa was wonderful), large rooms, excellent soundproofing, and very dark when the curtains were closed.

    Towels which looked 100 years old !!! No water in the room . And lift doesn’t work from 11pm-8am

    The location is great , right near la ramblas . It’s an old dilapidated building turned into a guest house. We were put into a room that was dark and extremely compact and looked haunted . When asked the receptionist about the picture on bookings.com she shifted us to the renovated room . Please ask for the room on the picture if you book through bookings.com. We were in the room only to sleep as we were out most of the time so the hotel didn’t matter that much .

    The location isn’t clear as you get close it is very confusing and the parking was quite a challenge to get to. 20 euro, and not the most practical but very safe

    Great location, bare minimum room. Ended up getting the upgrade with the balcony. Safe parking though tricky to get to

    Our choice was to use shared bathroom facilities to have lower price. It was as expected (there was also a sink in our room). Great value for money.

    Me and my 15 yrs old daughter really enjoyed the location. There was a great choice of restaurants, shops, pubs right by the Real Square, short walking distance to the public transport and not far to the marina, churches, museums and other interesting places. The staff was very friendly.

    Couldn't fault the location, or the price compared with everything else. Little tip though - don't go for the rooms with a view as they open onto a Plaza Real and people are out late talking and drinking, I had a room that was one back from the front of the building and slept like a baby :-)

    It would be nice to have a kettle in the room along with a hair dryer..

    The place is super good and and is right in the centre buzzing with tourist.. underground Metro station, hop-on hop-off bus, taxi stand, shopping, super markets, beach, hotels all right next door. Marissa who was attending the guests, was just as lovely as anyone can expect to be. She was a great guide and gave us all necessary do's and don'ts in Barcelona. It was a lovely place, with lovely people making it a great experience until we visit Marissa again someday soon.

    The size/comfort of the beds. Not being able to use the lift after certain hours.

    The location of the site is really good, perhaps the best in all of Barcelona.
