Casa Consell Gran Via, Guest House

Lamentablemente no pudimos ir de viaje, por el fallecimiento de mi madre, que sucedió 2 días antes de nuestra llegada. Avisamos enseguida, pero no nos dieron ninguna solución, no quisieron oír hablar de devolución de lo que pagamos, pero es que ni siquiera la posibilidad de cambiar las fechas. Que triste de verdad.

If you're looking for luxury and first rate amenities, look somewhere else. But if you're a seeker of the little touches that warm your heart, this guest house may be just the thing. My wife and I stayed here for two nights and couldn't have been happier. This is a clean and charming place in a great location in the Eixample district, with many restaurants and attraction within a short walk. It's also not far from the delightful rabbit warren of streets that make up the Ciutat Vella. The guest house takes up an entire floor of an older building and is reachable by marble staircase or an efficient if slightly claustrophobic elevator. The room we were assigned overlooks the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, a busy street with lots of foot traffic. Everything about the place from the tiled walls in the bathroom and distinctive tiled floors to the DIY kitchen area where you can prepare snacks or a full meal using your shared fridge space, speaks to a time when travelers' needs were simpler. A wonderful price value -- safe and clean at just a little over hostel rates. I'd stay here again.
