“Really good place to stay! Clean and hot rooms. The towels are changing every day! Its look that are renovated the rooms. GOOD LOCATION near public transport and nice places for food and drinks. 1rst express from the entrance is not so ... high class but the rooms are like hotels. We are happy from our choice!”
“Very clean private room with a locking door and high water pressure shower which are my priorities for stays. While the room is small, it is extremely fair for the affordable price and location right in the gothic quarters. The desk attendants were also very kind and allowed us to store our luggage in a locked room for the day before and following our stay while we waited for our flight time.”
“Perfect location! Rooms were also very clean & bathroom was new. Staff was very friendly as well, only thing that needs improvement is the pillow & sheets and blanket. The blanket was between sheets rather than a duvet & duvet cover, which didn’t feel very hygienic. However it was a good stay overall, recommend it!”
“For a room in a hostel this was very good. Booked a double room with a queen bed but got a room with a queen and a single bed. Good clean room with a tv. Bathroom was very new and clean with a nice walk in shower. The cleaner did a great job every day. The common area downstairs seems to have been partly under reconstruction but it was possible to use the fridge and the microwave. Staff is present 24 hours a day and were polite and helpful. Situated in a very central location just off La Rambla and near the Gothic quarter. It was a pleasant stay!”
“Fantastic value for money. Slightly noisy but nothing some earlier plugs doesn't solve. Staff are very friendly and the room is clean and comfortable. Location is just amazing”
“Great Hostal for our few days in Barcelona before our cruise. Easy to catch the Aerobus from the airport and the walk here from Place Catalunya. Close to many sites and easy to catch tour buses and walk to our cruise ship bus.”
“Nice hotel with a fair price compared to the others. Its has all someone can need, kinda basic but everything clean and working good. Staff are friendly and helpful. The location is crazy for those who want to easily walk around the Gothic Quarter and the Rambla. The area is quiet even in the evening, unlike other areas of the city that give a sense of insecurity.”
