Pension Picasso

i would like to stay here as much as i can the essence of the room is brilliant. the room has a lot of character and i loved the red stained curtains think it was paint would recommend to everyone in my house

This is a no-nonsense place, certainly not for the fancy traveller, or if you want to spend much time in your hotel room. But it certainly has something to offer from old times, when in the 1930s intellectuals, immigrants lived in cheap hotels all around Europe. The room was very small and it could certainly do with an extra bedside lamp, and if you don't want to share toilet and bathroom, don't go there. But it was cheap and in an excellent location: close to everything, I adored living on the Ramblas, yes, noisy, but it has the essence of the city, if it bothers you, don't go there. I Paris I slept in a hotel over a café and once it was raining so I closed the window Slept much worse without the street noise - weird, I know. I loved I only had to walk a little after a drink at night, the metro is also very close. And no problem to go home during the day to change shoes if my feet hurt. There was a coffee-dispenser on the floor, 80 cents for coffee, very helpful to start the day. Oh well, my bf has an apartment in Barcelona, so now we stay there when we go there, so it is unlikely if I will stay in Pension Picasso again, but I think if I needed a place to spend a few nights, I would. Remark: I stayed there in November 2011. Unfortunately I cannot select this option among the dates below.

It is impossible to sleep at night in this pension. I was waken up everyday around 5am by screaming and fighting in the street. There were also some narcomans ringing our doors in the middle of the night and then the police came. Also it is very poorly isolatred so you hear everything. Room itself was ok, but they did not clean it at all. Landowners were not particullary nice either. Actually this pension was the only bad experience I had during my stay in this lovely city. But its position is good because you have shops and la boqueria near.
