BBB - Jardinets and BBB-Güell in Barcelone city trip

We had a visit a few month ago of Sarah, which work for a guide in France: "Barcelona city trip by Petit Futé".
She has written this review in the French Guide about our Bed and Breakfast Jardinets and Güell:

BBB GÜELL

Entre 45 et 65€ la chambre, petit déjeneur inclus.
Tenu par les memes propiétaires que le BBB Jardinets, cet établissement se trouve à 5 minutes à pied du Parc Güell, dans un environnement calme et peu touristique. La décoration est adorable et il y a une charmante terrasse.

BBB JARDINETS

Chambre double de 35€ à 70€ avec salle de bains commune et petit déjeneur. situé dans la rue la plus animée du quartier de Gràcia, ce petit bed&breakfast propose cinq chambres décorées avec soin. Vous serez accueillis par un couple multiculturel: Carla, d'origine argentine, et son mari hollandais. À l'intérieur, que du neuf! Le B&B a été ouvert en 2009, et les chambres ont toutes leur identité: la rose, la bleue, la verte, etc. Un excellent rapport qualité/prix à deux pas du Passeig de Gracia.

DeMorgen Newspaper

Today we have a pleasant surprise: Rene De Rycke, while informing about our Bed and Breakfast, showed us an article in De Morgen, the Belgium newspaper, edition Saturday, January 30th. In this article a previous guest wrote some very nice lines about us:

"Barcelona heeft de naam dat het er moeilijk is om betaalbare overnachtingen te vinden. Wij vonden er eentje aan de rand van de wijk Gracia: BBB Les Jardinets. De B&B ligt in een heel mooi gebouw - toegegeven: het is niet gemakkelijk om een lelijk gebouw te vinden in Barcelona - en je raakt op je kamer op de eerste verdieping met een antieke kooilift waar we tijdens een vorige citytrip naar een andere stad nog moesten voor betalen om er alleen nog maar naar te kijken. De kamers zijn er kraaknet, het onthaal erg hartelijk en je kan je eigen ontbijt samenstellen door in de keuken en koelkast te kiezen wat je lekker vindt.

De locatie zelf is erg rustig en vermits een stad als Barcelona echt alleen maar "gevoeld" kan worden door er in rond te stappen is het daarenboven heerlijk dat veel van dat moois gewoon op loopafstand ligt, is een wirwar van kleine straatjes, pleintjes met heel toffe bars en restaurants: net een dorp binnen de metropool Barcelona. Voor Cuba-aanhangers: er is zelfs een Cubaans geïnspireerde bar waar ze Bucanero verkopen! Wij betaalden de ongelooflijke som van 26 euro per persoon per nacht MET ontbjit!"

If you have not understood anything, here's the translation:

"Barcelona is a city that is difficult to find affordable accommodation. We found one at the edge of the Gracia district: BBB-Jardinets. The B&B situated in a beautiful building - admittedly it is not easy to find an ugly building in Barcelona - and you get to your room on the first floor with an antique elevator. During a previous city-trip, where we went to another city, we had yet to pay for it only to watch! The rooms are immaculate, the welcome very warm and you can compose your own breakfast in the kitchen fridge and choose what you like.

The site itself is very quiet and, as a city like Barcelona really needs to be "felt" by walking around, it is wonderful that many of this beauty just on walking distance from the Bed and Breakfast. In a maze of narrow streets, squares with very nice bars and restaurants: just a village within the metropolis Barcelona. For Cuba-supporters: there is even a Cuban-inspired bar where they sell Bucanero! We paid the incredible sim of 26 euros per person per night WITH breakfast!"

What a guest-review can do for our day....

Today did not start very well. Rain and cold wind depressed our moods. Then we saw this guest-review on http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/:

"Our stay in Casanova (http://www.guesthousecasanova.com/) was really comfortable as home, it was clean, relaxed and simple but nice decorated. Carla was really very helpfull in our so many questions from the first time, the breakfast was good and the bus and metro connection to the rest of the city very good. Also wasn't noisy at night, just the normal city sounds that is dificult to avoid in any place. I could stay again in this place!"

Obviously, our day was made ;-)

My first blog....and entry

Already some time ago we started a small Bed and Breakfast in Barcelona. Crisis made us to have new ideas and be creative in the survival of rough times. We enjoyed it, to our own surprise! This was not something to do aside, but so rewarding type of work that you can hardly call it work. As a traveller by obligation, I always liked better the cosy inns then the top-notch hotels with their outragouos prices. So, together with my wife we thought to create a Bed and Breakfast that we would like ourselfes: Cozy, clean, easy-going and -last-but-not-least- for a reasonable price!
So that's what we did! Now, a year and a half later we are proud to announce our two little creatures: http://www.guesthousejardinets.com/ and http://www.guesthousecasanova.com/. Both live under the umbrella of the http://www.ideasandcreativity.com/ site. We're happy to be your host in your next stay in Barcelona!
