Barcelona City Centre Hostal

Location - 7 min walk from Casa Batllo and main streets! PC in a hall with free internet, in our room bathroom was quite big, clean, free tea/cofee in a hall, microwave and fridge.

Balmes street is noisy, but it is ok if you close a window and switch on AC if necessary.

This hostal is closed to tthe city

Location is excellent, only one street from La Rambla, and two from Pg. De Gracia, near Casa Batlo and Casa Mila.

The double room was too small and the window opens into a very small court . This is why we didn't see the sun light.But we only slept in the room most of the time we werw on the streets visiting the splendid city.

ability to leave the AC turned on during the day while we were out on the city; excellent cleaning service; free internet access computer in the waiting room (didn't have my laptop with me so i don't know if the wireless was also available to clients - they were wireless connected to an adsl router); close to transport (vis-a-vis tmb bus station, two streets from metro); close to bars (the 'seven' bar at effectively few feets away open 24/7); acceptable walking distance to placa catalunya, the center of the city; friendly staff - all of this making a good rate between what you pay and what you get.

rare moments of hot water. most of the time was not hot enough for a hairwash, just body shower - actually from 7 nights i managed to catch good hot water only once. i don't think that was actually hostels' staff fault, but it might have been the entire building being affected (the hostel is only one floor in the building). difficult to find if you're expecting big letters outside - look for the street number instead (balmes 60), because being a hostel it has only a small text at the downstairs door, just like any other apartment from the building ;) - or look for the big "eden" letters on the vis-a-vis building ;). if you pay cash, expect some delay for the change - days (though i regret taking it - later I concluded the staff deserves it as tip but it was too late, we already checked out)

Barcelona City Centre Hostal had good location. The room was large and looked much better than on the pictures. It was nice to have an aircondition and heating system that could be controlled in the room. The hotel was very clean and the room was cleaned every day.

The walls and doors were thin so all noise went through them. I would recommend earplugs. There was no safety deposit box but it was save to leave valuables in the room.

Centrally situated, kind and cooperative staff, clean room, comfortable bed.

Room and bathroom very small, missing a table.

It is very well located. Close to the "old city". It is perfect for young people, travelling around. I wouldn't recommend for elder people, who may prefer a little more confort and facilities, like having breakfast.

the great price for perfect location! big room!

no day light! but it's ok for short stay

Personale gentile, pulizia e cambio asciugamani giornaliero, abbastanza centrale.

centrale ma la sera la lontananza della metro si fa sentire

Nagyon kedves, segítőkész a személyzet. Valamelyest beszélnek angolul. Tiszta a fürdőszoba és a szoba is egyaránt. Ingyen használható az internet, van egy kis konyha rész is kialakítva. Nagyon jó helyen van a városnézés szempontjából. Közel a főtérhez, a Gaudi házakhoz, a La Ramblahoz.

Sajnos az ablak egy kis légaknára nézett, nem volt valami világos.

netjes, rustig, aardige ontvangst

Geen handdoekkenrekje

Boa Localizaçao, a cerca de 10 minutos andando da Rambla, funcionária extremamente gentil e atenciosa, boas instalações, quarto amplo - ficamos num quarto de frente para a rua mas o vidro da janela era anti-ruido e não tivemos nenhum inconveniente com barulhos. Banheiro espaçoso e muito limpo.

Se para citar algo, tivemos um problema mínimo com a ducha, que não ficava presa no suporte e o fato de não ter cofre. De resto, nenhum problema - gostamos muito da nossa estada.
