The owner stayed to let me in even though my train was late and then I got lost on the metro. Also the accommodations were very clean and it was the first place that gave me more than a sheet to sleep with. Best place I’ve stayed at!

The room was clean and although small was well set up. Communication is lacking. Tried half a dozen times to ring beforehand to see if I could store my suitcase early (and also emailed) with no response. Ended up storing my suitcase at the luggage section at the railway station and packing an overnight bag as I had to walk around for 3 hours before I could check in. I also emailed with no response (until day after I had left). When I mentioned it she said she was too busy cleaning the rooms by herself and doesn’t have time to check messages. When I did arrive at 3pm it is obscurely located on the second floor with an unappealing entrance which left me wondering if I had the right place. The room wasn’t ready and I could wait hslf an hour or leave my overnight bag. I had a coffee and waited but after half an hour decided to leave my bag and continue sightseeing. Said I could leave my bags there after checkout if needed but was seeking this information beforehand. Obviously needs more help -at the least to check messages and emails. It is still called a B&B but hasn’t had breakfast available for several years. This needs to be changed as misleading.

DO NOT RESERVE. READ THE RECENT GOOGLE REVIEWS. They do not pick up the phone ever and so you cannot get in. I had someone els ein the building unsolicited tell me to be careful with this place and that guests get kicked out and they take your stuff. Do not risk it. Also it is do weird it is in An apartment building in mediocre at best condition.

Very disappointed. Owner doesn’t have staff, she does everything and clearly she can’t keep up with everything. I was able to check in 1.5 hrs late because the room wasn’t ready / clean. Wifi issues. Asked for toilet paper and never came. Only good thing here is the location but the rest is terrible. Not recommended.

Nice place to stay. But was disappointed and surprised that a Bed and Breakfast does not serve breakfast. Moreover when you read the list of amenities it specifies Laundry. When i asked the owner she said no laundry like there never was. I specifically chose this place for this amenity and thought that with breakfast, the price although a bit high was ok considering. location wise close to metro. Safe neighbourhood and quiet. Close to Casa Batllo and Pedrera - walking distance.

The property is located on 1st floor (European, equivalent to 2nd floor in the US), so check in is in the property only by owner, as there is no reception on entrance, so when we arrived early, we had to wait until the owner showed up in the afternoon. The property is clean, modern, conveniently located, and should be clear that there is no breakfast in this B&B. The most problematic thing about this property is that there is a very definite limited time in which you can get any help from the owner. One time, due to my own carelessness, I had accidentally forgotten to take the key and locked myself out of my room in the evening, and attempts at contacting the owner through email, phone calls, Whatsapp yielded no response. (owner left the Whatsapp number claiming she can be contacted). We had to sleep on the sofa in the common area that night. She does not come in until noon the next day, and owner did no apologize and said that "at least you have experienced sleeping on the sofa". She also admitted that she admitted getting the messages but she said her phone was "blocked", which we did not believe at all. Do not expect any kind of help besides 12 noon to about 7 PM from this owner. Traveling in a foreign country, I believe this type of service is not acceptable, so I cannot recommend this property.

Amazing stay at The 8
My wife and I arrived to Barcelona, Spain early Tuesday morning. We booked our room here on Hotels.com with The 8, and then took a Taxi from the airport to the resort. Cost was about $27 Euro. Upon arrial we were a bit confused on where to go, but was delighted with the secured entry and the friendly guests. After making our way to the Lobby we were greated by the Owner/Operator who was more than accomodating being that it was only 10am and she led us to our room. The feeling the moment you step into the Lobby is a mix if modern contemporary meets the Gothic district which was amazing. Everything was clean, well laid out and worked perfectly. Thank you so much for the hospitality and the clean resort. If we are in Spain again we will be sure to stay at The 8 again!

The customer service is terrible. There was never anyone at the front desk and no one ever responded to messages sent via multiple routes (telephone, what’s app, hotel email). I never even saw a single other hotel guest while I was there, it was a little creepy how empty the property was the entire time. Also, there is no window in the room itself so everything is super dark, only a small window in the corner of the bathroom that looks out onto a brick wall. The air was stagnant due to lack of flow and no fan/AC. The only positive thing was the location was good. Would not recommend.

Our stay was ruined when on our third night, the owner came knocking on our door and threatened to call the police on us. I was in the shower when my friend knocked on the door and asked me to come out because the owner thought we had a third person in the room and said we had 5 minutes to get them out before she called the police. I quickly dried and walked outside to the reception to see what was going on. Apparently she thought she had seen a third person walk into our room on the security cams. We welcomed her to come inside to check herself but she was unwilling to believe us or check. It was especially odd considering we both greeted her when we got back that evening while she was out smoking on the balcony. There is only one entrance and the reception is right next to the door, plus our room is in view from the balcony where she was smoking. There was no way for a third person to walk in without it being obvious. Even if there was an extra person, I found the immediate threat extremely unprofessional and the fact that she didn't apologize after we clarified there was no third person there immensely disappointing. I tried to ask her how it was that we got to this situation and she walked away from me, muttering something about having the right to check on her rooms. Moreoever, that day our rooms were not cleaned (we got back around 7pm). We did not sleep comfortably that night as we could hear her playing music in the lobby right outside our door until around 11pm.

The hotel is very close to public transit which is great. The hotel is walking distance to many good eats, shopping, and although it’s on a busy street you can barely hear city noise from your room. The rooms are nice and cozy. I was room hopping during my 7 day stay so I got to experience 2 different double rooms and a single room. My fave room is the double with a balcony view facing the street. The single is nice if you’re solo. It was bigger than my single room in Amsterdam lol Complimentary breakfast every morning with the usual croissants, deli meats, toast, etc. Can’t complain about free food, right?! They have a tea and coffee station that’s avail 24/7 - a must for me. Staff is super nice and courteous. The first front desk woman who checked me in was very helpful. She gave me a map of the city and pinned the must see sights and what areas to be wary about - even giving me tips on how to avoid being a victim of scams and pickpocketing. She recommended I get a T-10 public transit card to get around the city - it really was the best option. The second front desk woman was just as nice. On New Years Eve she gave out bottles of cava and cookies for every room. Overall, very personable experience at this hotel.
