Casa Lolita is great accommodation for a night in Barcelona: the location is really close to most tourist attractions as well as beaches. The check-in process was smooth and communication went well. The shared kitchen area was also useful for keeping foods/liquids cool during a hot summer day. We definitely recommend taking a double-room with balcony!
We did have a couple problems that could not be resolved:
1. When we arrived on Sunday afternoon, our balcony-door’s curtain was dismantled and laying in the room’s closet, exposing us to the street outside and the buildings around, resulting in reduced privacy. We mentioned this to the receptionist, who was well-aware and said someone would fix it later in the evening. No one did.
2. We discovered in the evening that our shower drain was completely clogged, and water filled up quickly, making taking a shower a rather unpleasant and hairy experience. We informed the receptionist about this and they informed management about the situation, saying that they hoped to fix it in time before we are back later that night. The shower drain was never fixed, which meant that we had to shower in a very unpleasant way again the next morning.
We stayed one night at Casa Lolita, and it was a Sunday night, which makes it understandable that repairing a curtain or shower drain is difficult. But we were not offered alternatives such as moving to a different room or getting reimbursed in any way.
