Location was excellent, walkable to Plaça de Espanya and Montjuic areas. All staff were super friendly. The triple room, however, was pretty small and the walls are very thin - you can hear people from the room beside. Bathroom was nice and modern, but lacked hangers and hand soap.

Negative: Noisy. You can hear conversations from the next room. You can hear the plumbing when it's being flushed and when furniture is being moved. Positive: Good location, close to the Poble Sec metro station and cafes. Very friendly staff, clean place. Comfortable room and a common area where you can make tea and coffee.

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.

Great place for a short stay.

Great place for a short stay. Very clean, close to everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The beds were relatively comfortable. The choice of pillows was not that great, but that can be a personal preference.
