Happy for the second time.
I am happy. I was there in this hotel for the second time. I had what I expected. Single room with shower. Nothing special but for this price. OK. Shower is really small, but I am not a big guy. So I do not recommend this hotel for bigger size people... :-) Room is simple but clean. Cleaning service is every day and I even asked the cleaning lady that they do not need to clean it every day. I was not in the hotel anyway. I just slept there. I did not go for holiday to spend my time in the hotel... :-) I say super. If the price do not change, I will go there every year. I just need a room with shower where to sleep. I am very simple person so for me it is perfect... Thank you.

Simple room but nice for the money. Shower little bit small but I am not too big... :-) To be honest with you I am happy. I have had a nice bed where I could sleep and I cared more about my trips to Barcelona and Tarragona...

One night only.
for 1 night it's just ok. A tiny room with no insulation. People outside my room in the corridor being noisy @ 07:00. The room had the barest of bare essentials. This is all clearly done as cheaply as possible. The room I was assigned at the electronic check-in was not the room advertised. Some very creative photography in use on the website. More honesty concerning the rooms is needed here. I will not return.

Uncomfortable and unfriendly. Tiny room, tiny bathroom, tiny stairs. No staff to attend circumstances; you´re left to yourself. Heating was not working properly; someone across whatsapp was handling it, but wouldn't set it right. We had a remote control, but were told not to use it. No one would show their face to check it on the room.

Nice room right in the heart of the city, very walkable and convenient. Just beware that if you have a room looking at the city plaza, there might be some noise from the plaza itself, not much but if you have trouble sleeping like me it can be a bit bothersome

Great location in the old part of the city. We had a balcony overlooking the plaça. The room was small but not smaller than advertised. Completely automated check-in and check-out. Very nice for the price.

There is NOBODY to help you. Check in is with a machine and nobody is there. Bathroom so small my son couldn’t fit in the shower. I saw the single rooms and the room only has space for a bed and nothing else. Location and parking are great though

Only last resort
Tiny room. 'window' opened to central gap. Heating poor, thin blanket, cold through the night. Coffee machine took my euro and gave me coffee, however lack of cup appearing made it difficult to drink. Automated check in and drop ox check out.

Booking without breakfast
In general the hotel is fine, it is good allocated and is easy to find. But the service is deficient. I had booked with breakfast and it was 10 AM and nobody appeared before to explain me about it. Finally one person came to the hotel and with no good manners gave me a ticket for going to near cafeteria. I do not recommend to book with breakfast.

This is an old fashioned Pensio. Competitively priced, the daily room change immaculate and the location, in the heart of the old town, fantastic. Loved it. The bed was good (dodgy back) but you may sleep better in more plushly insulated/air conditioned expensive hotels.

Very self service. No place to leave bags after c
Stayed one night to explore the town. Directions for check in were very clear that they were only there from 14:00-18:00 for check in. There was nothing about check out procedures and the fact that thete was no place to leave your luggage if you were staying in town longer after checkout to explore. It took an extra 45 minuets for us to figure out what to do with our bags. This is a very self service type of place. If you know that going in and you are good with it, it is the place for you. Not my style which is why I rated it the way I did. Also be aware the steps up are very narrow so if you have roller luggage it could be tricky to ascend up to your room.
