Casa Origen

No breakfast offered to us. There is a community kitchen available. Cute place, not far from center.

The shower had no water for the 2 days we were there. Reception was useless. Nobody answered out call or messages about this. Luckily the maid let us use the shower in an unoccupied room. I now see reviews about this from 2024 and still the problem persists. Not feeling like the owners care much!

With my son we stayed 3 nights. The room was very clean, we loved the little kitchen with the terrace, the roof top option and the great location. The hotel/hostal doesn't have a 24h reception which was OK. Access is easy, and mostly we had no noise. When visiting the city it's a perfect stay. We loved the fact Boulenc bakery was just for a few minutes walk, so we could grab our breakfast and enjoy it on the hostal's terrace. The staff was helpful and flexible, and it was also an extra we could leave our suitcase at the reception area until leaving to the bus station several hours later after check out.

The running water in the shower was not strong but it worked, so no complains really. The room floor could be updated sometimes in the future just because the rest is really nice and it feels clean and modern.

A pretty good value for what you get and the location. However, when you arrive, it can be confusing as they do not have a sign outside, and the alley looks bit sketchy at first. Make sure they send you the access code since they had forgotten to send us ours, and the reception isn’t open for 24 hours. We had to knock on the gate and wait for a few minutes for them to open it. However, the staff were kind enough to change our room after we reported to them that there was a lot of noise coming from the generator beside our room. The little kitchen can also come in handy.

Sometimes there was no hot water in the shower; uncomfortable bed

Friendly spacious good location

Water sometimes didn't work

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful—the receptionist even arranged a taxi at a fair price. The bed was firm but comfortable, and the terrace with a view was a nice touch. The location is a bit away from the center but in a quiet area.

1. Toilet plumbing issues: after flushing, you have to wait around 10-15 minutes before you can use it again. If you travel alone it't not a bif issue but if there are 2 of you, it might be a problem. 2. Noise: the echo from the corridor and the street was really strong, making it hard to get a quiet moment. 3. No hairdryer in the rooms — only one shared among all guests, and if someone takes it and doesn’t return it, you're out of luck. The same issue applies to the iron, though at least it's used less frequently. The kitchen was also lacking in plates, and sometimes they were all taken, leaving nowhere to put food. 4. The hotel is outdated, it looks much older tha on the photos, it needs serious updates and has too many small inconveniences.

Responsive staff and easy check-in.

We had plumbing issues the entire length of our stay. It took a long time for the toilet to fill with water to be able to flush. Shower was very weak in terms of water pressure and sometimes we would have no water at all.

The staff were superb. So helpful and friendly. Room was spare but adequate.

Fortunately we arrived just before staff left for the day. Since we were on the bus prior to arriving, we did not get the message about the door code. I would suggest sending the code a day ahead of time. Be aware the hotel is five l-o-n-g blocks uphill from center.
