Hostal Mimi Las Ramblas

I will try to give an objective and fair review. The location is very good on La Rambla street, closest station is Liceu. We arrived around 4 pm but the room was not ready and had to wait for 15 min. The room was pretty basic but with en-suite and fortunately has had a window. Some rooms do not have windows and some has shared bathroom but the host at the reception was kind enough to give us an ensuite. Everything inside the room looked very cheap and old. The beddings were very old and did not appear very clean. There was no towel but we had one so no major issues and we didn't ask for it. The walls are quite thin so you can hear all the unwanted noise from neighbours. The keys x2 (for the room and for the apartment) are not that smooth to open and takes a while with some struggle. We went outside and came back at 8pm but could not enter the building as the outside buzzer was not working but luckily someone else entered and we tailgated them. Overall, the location is very good and staff are extremely polite and helpful. It still has okay value for money. The whole place is badly in need for overhauling. The owners seems to be not concerned as this place has a lot of potential for improvement and to be a decent place. At the very least, they need to buy new beddings, beds and basic furniture.
