It was great and I would definitely stay here again ! The area around it is a little more urban and it looks kinda sketchy on the outside, but the inside is fantastic for the 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.

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.

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!!

Basic stay at a great location.
A cheap place to stay, it was clean and the location was good. Walking distance to most sightseeing spots in the city, affordable restaurants around. Metro station was close too. The room was very basic, the front desk too. Room gave impression of being 30 years behind today. No elevator might be good to know. :)

It was a small safe location and family friendly. Very clean and easy to walk around since everything is very accessible. There was a weird musty smell from the restroom when the ventilation was off. Overall, it was a nice, safe and clean place.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall, good stay for 3 people. Very close to metro, and walking distance to many sights. Can store luggage at the reception, however reception staff do not speak English. Hot water was very inconsistent which meant we could not have a warm shower. Also the drain was partially blocked so the shower would flood unless the water pressure was very low. Room was noisy throughout stay, with noise coming from upstairs.
