Bailén Green House

Bijoux spotless room with en-suite and small fridge. Don’t be alarmed or put off by entering details. Ideal location and base for getting around Barcelona.

There was lot of good bars, restaurants, super markeds around in that area.

It is centrally located and a no frills accommodations. The waterfall shower as an amazing end of day treat. The only critique is getting only 1 pillow and no airflow which made it a little stuffy and difficult to sleep.

This is not a hotel. It is a room in an apartment. The room was very tiny, it smelt of damp and there are no windows. There is a door that leads to an ‘outdoor’ area but there’s no working lights so it’s complete darkness if you want it open at night. There’s only staff between 8-4pm which is really inconvenient and loses its ‘hotel’ feel. You can only leave bags until 3pm despite the listing saying there is luggage storage. The staff weren’t knowledgable of any local luggage storage options - would recommend perfect lockers at Sagrada Família as it’s cheap and secure rather than just leaving ur bags on the ground. I’m extremely glad I didn’t have to stay here for more than 2 nights as I’d have been even more disappointed. We were given dirty towels and as there’s no reception this couldn’t be fixed when I noticed after my 6pm shower. On the second day, we were not given any new hand towels and our used hand towel were taken away. The bedding was also not changed or made as you’d expect from a hotel. None of the room was cleaned except for giving new dirty bath towels. I was woken by construction on both days as well so again not very pleasant. If you’re looking for a budget stay - it’s ok. Just don’t expect much. Transport was about a five ish min walk away but not a great connected line - you’d likely have to change to get to where you want to go. Not much going on within the local area so you’ll have to walk elsewhere. Definitely would not stay here again

The staff was great! The neighborhood is nice and quiet in the morning. After 9 am or so, the city starts to awaken. In the early evening it truly comes to life. There are couples and friends out for a bite or a drink, or both during the evening hours. Many people in Barcelona smoke. So be prepared for that outside at the tables on the streets. It’s not a problem indoors. The elevator in the hotel was not in service. This was a problem for my brother who has mobility issues. Fortunately, the hotel is only one floor up from the street. We loved the little balcony with a table and chairs. We ate our dinners out there (sandwiches and chips). Our room room key stopped working on our second evening, but someone came within 20 minutes to fix the issue so that we could go out for a drink and a snack. There are shops, restaurants and little markets everywhere. We recognized Lidl and Aldi, but there are other slightly larger markets as well. They are all listed as “supermarkets,” but be aware they are not super-sized. Perhaps they mean super in terms of quality. (You can judge the quality for yourself.) Public toilets are hard to find in most parts of the city, but most restaurants have clean toilets for customers. Bring some toilet paper with you. Some places lack it. The toilet in our room was very nice. Showers in Europe typically are not completely enclosed. Just take care where you aim the water.
