  • Cleanliness: Not rated Menage non fait sous le lit de la chambre en effet nous avons retrouvé des mitons de poussiere avec une couche qui laissait penser que le menage avait ete oublié depuis quelques jours de plus il y avait un paquet de ships qui ne nous appartenait pas apres le 2e jours
  • Location: 2.5 proche du parc güell mais assez excentré
  • Common facilities and services: Not rated gros problemes de climatisation qui ne se règle pas de la chambre et qui n envoie que tres peu d air frais j imagine en pleine période de chaleur
  • Staff: 5 assez aimable
  • Quietness: Not rated si votre chambre donne sur la rue Balester vous entendrez le traffic important du boulevard Mistre tout proche malgré le double vitrage si vous n êtes pas fatigués vous passserez de mauvaises nuits. Si on vous donne la chambre proche de la cage d%27escalier et donc de la porte d%27accès il est bien rare de voir celle ci fermée au risque d%27entendre les va-et-vient des clients toute la nuit.
  • Room: Not rated Chambre petite, SDB encore plus pour la télécommande de la TV on vous réclamera 20 euros de caution. Les beaux bibelots et la belle peinture du site internet doivent se trouver ds une rare chambre ayant servi d%27illustrations. La déco est très dépouillée quasi inexistante.
  • Value for money: Not rated 70 € + 7 % de TVA on nous prend pour des "pigeons" Depuis nous avons trouver une chambre d%27hotes proche de la Rambla à 60 €uros Petit déjeuner compris.

    "Notre but est de donner un service personnalisé à nos clients tout en leur proposant un logement propre, sûr et confortable; c’est la raison pour laquelle nous avons décidé de renouveler l’hostal Putxet. Nous avons réduit le nombre de chambres afin de pouvoir proposer à nos clients des chambres plus spacieuses et confortables, aussi avons-nous ajouté des services supplémentaires tel qu’une connexion WIFI. Quant à la sécurité, nous avons également amélioré nos prestations puisque nous avons installé un système de fermeture des portes de haute technologie ainsi que des coffres forts dans chaque chambre pour que nos clients aient sensation de sécurité. Résultant de cette rénovation se présente un établissement proposant une très bonne relation prix-qualité."
