Very Clean, friendly staff. Room and bathroom were small, no elevators in property. We had to stay a night to fly next day. Use some cleaning product with strong scent which can aggravate anyone’s breathing issue

Wonderful stay at the Hostal😊! Staff are warm and friendly and location is a minute away from the Tube station, so well connected. The Hostal is facing a busy street, so very safe even at night, however it gets noisy with people walking and talking on the roads throughout the night. The rooms are clean and air conditioning works well, bathrooms are spacious and room service is available. The only problem we had was two 300ml bottles provided for our 3 night stay. There is a water dispenser in the common area, but only for immediate consumption, we cannot refill our bottles when we head out to explore Barcelona. Overall a great stay at a decent price!!

A great hostal

I enjoyed my time at this hostal. Friendly and helpful reception, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, no street noise and effective air conditioning. The location was great for exploring Barcelona - close to metro and bus stops.

Room was very small with no storage and seemed run down. Lots of street noise. Shelves in the closet didn’t seem strong enough to hold suitcases. Service was decent but not great.

We stayed for three nights at the hostal and overall we had a great time. It is located in a busy avenue, so yes it can be a little noisy. But I am a light sleeper and can assure you that I slept comfortably without any issues. If you are a light sleeper some ear plugs could help. The place was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were very nice and helpful and provided good recommendations. Would stay again when visiting Barcelona again.
