It exceeded my expectations!! Franco station is literally opposite. You have a kitchen and dining area where there is a fridge, kettle with free supplies of herbal teas + tea, coffee, sugar, milk and water at your disposal and they even give you free muffins!! Wonderful! The room was spacious, bed was super comfy and the balcony was a perk!! Had no problem having the outside private bathroom - was always clean (as was the room and areas - cleaner cleans every day) and the water was perfect for the shower! Loved the extra blanket and the air conditioning /heater to keep me warm at night. Staff were exceptional!! Muchas gracias!!!
The walls are paper thin and for both nights, I had noisy people next door who would be talking until 3am!! 😭😭😭 It’s not the property’s fault though. Wifi was intermittent but no problem.

I liked the work of the staff. Even before our arrival, we were sent several times instructions on how to get to the hotel. They were waiting for us. We were greeted warmly and shown our room. The room had everything we needed for our stay. The windows overlook one of the busy streets of Barcelona, but the room was quiet and the noise from the street did not interfere. A comfortable common room with everything you need for a snack. There is tea, coffee, water and muffins.
Unfortunately, the central heating battery did not work stably. We used the air conditioner to heat the room, it was quite comfortable. But at night it turned off and had to be turned on. This is perhaps the only significant remark.

- Very friendly stuff, who will kindly answer all your questions and will stay in touch when necessary - Nice location with cafes and shops nearby - Clean room with all necessary supplies and bath accessories (even toothbrush). Cleaning was done everyday. - Common kitchen with water, coffee, tea and small snacks available - Terrace on the 4th floor to spend you free time (for example during breakfast)
- I would say that bed is quite small for two people :( - Lighting in the bathroom is a bit poor, but it is an advantage when you are waking up to use bathroom in the night ;)) - Sound insulation is not of high level, but it is understandable, as this is like large apartment with small rooms inside and each room is rented for different guests. You never know, who will get up earlier, who will behave louder and etc. - Lack of sink in common kitchen might be uncomfortable for someone

Simply everything is perfect. Room, cleanliness, staff ready to help. Location is great. Easy to reach from airport by train. Though on a big bulevard, it is not loud at all (slept with open windows). Supermarket in 1 minute. Bars restaurants all around. You may walk to almost any point of interest. You may leave your luggage after check out. We felt very safe. Very pleased with kitchen facilities offered, and thankful for coffee, tea and muffins which were always available. Terrace on the roof is beautiful (for their guests only). For sincere recomendation, and would gladly repeat the experience

Pension Cuidadela is a wonderful place to stay. This was our second visit and it was as good as the first. The rooms are large and welcoming with lovely ensuite bathrooms. The beds are very comfortable. The rooms have use of a small kitchen which is well equipped and very helpful. The value for money is amazing. The location is perfect for exploring the city. We'll be coming back again.
As before, nothing the property did wrong but some of the fellow guests were not as considerate as we felt we were. There was some shouting and door banging in the early hours on a couple of nights and we had some our provisions taken from the fridge and used.

The room was small but spotless and it had everything I needed. The staff is super friendly and helpful, communicated well and were there for me whenever I needed them. The location was perfect, right in front of the Francia station, in the Born neighbourhood, but it was quite, with no sound from the street. There are many excellent restaurants around and most of the main attractions are within a walking distance. Free coffee/tea/fruit/cakes all day long.

Excellent location, near train and bus stations. Beautiful Ciudadela Park behind the corner. A lot of restaurants around the pension. Clean bathroom and fresh towels. Very good looking accomodation, spacious room with comfortable beds, clean and fresh bedding. The common kitchen was nice as well, with coffe machine, tea, water and small snaks and all necessary cutlery, microwave and fridge. Lovely sunny roof terrace, the nicest with coffe in the morning. Building with elavator. Nice and helpful service. The whole staying was perfect. Access to the guesthouse and rooms using a code at any time. You can store your luggage if the room is not ready or after you leave. It was perfect staying for our family.

Staff who check us in kept in contact with us to ensure the room would be ready for us at the earlier time that was requested. She was very friendly and helpful. The room and bathroom is nice and the pictures present an accurate representation of the room you will be staying in -unlike a lot of other hotels I stayed at
The shower door doesn’t seal well which causes the floor in the bathroom to get quite wet in the bathroom. If I was staying longer, I would have liked the option of breakfast and a receptionist available during the day -however, they do leave water and some small muffins for all guests in the main room which is nice, and there is an contact number to reach staff, but for emergencies only.

Instructions about getting to the place and finding the building was very clear. It was easy to access using key codes. There were free snacks and drinks at the common area. The location is really convenient becuase it was right across the train station, it's near the bus stops, and a 5-minute walk to the metro. It had a lot of bars, restaurants, and retail shops around the area. The park nearby was very beautiful and a good place for your morning walk.
You have to be patient with the elevator because the building lift was old and slow. Some of the walls in the room could use a bit of soundproofing, particularly the door wall and headboard wall.

Very central location. Right next to the train station and El Born neighborhood so lots of restaurants and bars nearby. My room had it own little balcony as well which I really appreciated.
I would’ve preferred to have my own kettle and utensils in the room rather in a shared space. But that’s not a big deal and just me being an introvert and wanting to avoid people. Bed was a bit too soft for me and had a bit of back pain from it.
