You need not look any further than Fashion House when staying in Barcelona!!! The staff here bent over backwards to make our stay as wonderful as possible. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We just returned from our Europe trip and stayed 2 nights at the Fasion House! It exceeded our expectations. Lovely "flat" with only about 5 rooms with 2 shared baths. All was lovely - rooms with tall ceilings and pretty windows. Very quiet place so not for those looking to meet and...

Very friendly staff, who gave us lots of tips for our stay in Barcelona. Next time in Barcelona, I'm gonna stay here! No TV or other stuff to do there, but it's so close to the city, that you rather go to a pub.

Great location really close to las ramblas for eating out and taking in the atmosphere without being in a noisy / dangerous neighborhood. Really nice to have the option of having breakfast on the terrace which is peaceful. Would recommend hostel for a stay in barcelona. Also very close to metro...

A bit too expensive for a simple breakfast but excellent service to get it. Really nice staff, helpful and the atmosphere is so relaxed. Shared bathrooms no problem, clean and easy access. Not very soundproof rthe rooms. You hear everyone else that's in the building..

Exelent location (internet cafe, metro, supermarket all around the corner and just two minutes walk to Pl. Catalunya). The staff was very kind, helpfull and spoke English fluently. the room was very clean and quite and they had a nice warm shower. The ONLY disadvantage were the beds which were suited with old and uncomfertable matresses. Beside that we would recommend Fashion House to everyone who is planning a trip to Barcelona!close

The Gaudi houses were also a short walk away. I'd certainly reccomend if you're flying to Girona airport to get a bus from the airport to the bus station and then walk to the Fashion House as the walk is only about 15 mins and a taxi may try and rip you off. The owners of the hotel are really freindly and will do all they can to help. Would definately stay here again.close

The guesthouse is small and we were greeted with a very warm and personal welcome. Our room was big, had kitchen facilities and fridge and faces a quiet courtyard. Thanks for the very worthwhile suggestions about some of the less-frequented sights. Can we recommend the Fashion House ? - Anytime ! - Is there anything we did not like particularly ? - Let us think ... well .. the sharp odor of the solution used to clean the bath rooms !close

Fabulous guesthouse - really clean, run by a lovely lady and very central. The only downside is if you are a light sleeper then take ear plugs as the road noise was quite loud. My brother did not have a problem with it though. Highly recommended.

It was a gorgeous room that had 15 foot ceilings, a fireplace, couch, kitchen table, and our own kitchen dinette. We were greeted by very friendly staff who also made terrific recommendations for restaurants and sites to see. Location is good - very central and on a quiet street, right on the Metro and only 3 blocks from Placa de Catalunya. Great value for the money. Only downside is it is tough to find as there is no visible signage from the street.close
