MO HOUSE GOTIC

Location is excellent where easy get to Liceu station, market and shopping.

PLEASE DON’T GET SCAMMED LIKE I DID! This hotel is outrageously overpriced for what it offers. Yes, the location is excellent, right by Las Ramblas and Plaça Catalunya, but that’s literally it. Everything else was awful. I paid €200/night for a ridiculously tiny double room with a shared bathroom. The building is run down, despite the staff’s efforts to keep it somewhat clean. The young staff is friendly but not very helpful, and communication is difficult as they barely speak English (mea culpa, I don't speak Spanish). My room was furnished with the cheapest IKEA pieces imaginable. The mattress was horrendous, soft like quicksand and completely unsupportive. The only window faced directly into other rooms, so there is zero privacy, and they don’t even close properly, which feels super unsafe. There is barely any sound isolation and I could hear everything. It was noisy all night with guests slamming doors, showering at 2 AM, the lift right next to my window going up and down at all times, or just people having late and loud conversations in the corridors. It was genuinely impossible to sleep. The shared bathroom smelled of mould, had a rusty lock, and was generally unpleasant. Honestly, I slept better on the plane. I deeply regret staying there, it gave a bittersweet taste to my first travel to Barcelona which was otherwise really pleasant. I don’t want anyone else to waste their money and time there. Please, skip this place, it’s absolutely not worth it. You’re better off staying a bit farther from Las Ramblas and actually getting a decent night’s sleep. No refunds are possible with them, city taxes are collected only in cash (this is dodgy in itself, but you'd also need to check that they charge you only once if you are by yourself in a double room because they tried to charge me the tax twice!). There barely any common area or support is available, for the rates they apply, it's obscene. This place is a total scam. Run for the hills!

GO ANYWHERE ELSE. TOO expensive for what it really is. Negatif points : - Too noisy at night. Impossible to sleep peacefully. - TINY bedrooms, you can barely walk without bumping into your stuff. - COLD showers, that was my favorite part. - not ONE extra blanket for the night, in case you need. - "Last minute change" on the "tax value" and they wanted us to pay for that too. Positif points : - staff is nice (they can serve you tea) - You can drop your luggage before check in and get them after chek out. Conclusion : Save your money and your energy. Don't go.

I stayed in this "hotel" during Mobile World Congress 2024 and paid 220 EUR per night. In return, I received a room with almost no space, SHARED BATHROOMS, shared toilets, and so much noise that I couldn't get sleep the whole week. Shared bathrooms were not clear to me when making the reservation, and they asked for cash in advance: now I know why. Also one of the bathrooms went out of order during my stay so we had only 3 showers for the whole floor. In some of the bathrooms there is no shelf or hook so you have to put your staff onto the toilet seat... Some have only a hook, and in none there is a space within the shower cabin to place your washing sponge or similar. The walls were so thin, windows and door are old, each noise made me wake up until 5-6am in the morning. Which was actually good, because if you are not the first person entering the bathroom, you get a dirty shower with an already used floor towel. The ventilation is poor and the locks so old that in one bathroom, I almost got stuck. There are very steep stairs which makes it hard to handle a big suitcase. When I hung up my blazers I realised too late that the wall is marking off white. The only positive thing about this place is its location and the friendly staff. Probably it's much cheaper when there's no Congress and might be suitable for students. But otherwise I recommend to stay away from this place.
