The following things I noticed, but were not personally bothered by them, but in case they are important to others, I list them here: There was a popular night club (Paradiso) next door. The noise from this was audible until late every night, and the doors/windows were not well insulated for noise. This could be a problem if you are a light sleeper. The apartment was on the second floor, which was a lot of stairs. Elderly or frail people might struggle with this.

The location is excellent - right in the gothic quarter of Barcelona. Walking distance to many attractions and restaurants/cafes around the city. If not wanting to walk too far, close to metro and train station. The room was clean and tidy. The shower was a generous size and the shower head made for good showers. The room was cleaned, bed made and towels changed everyday.

Location was great, and the room was surprisingly quiet given the fact that it is in a bustling area.

One or two small cabinets will be good to have. Bed matтrass could be more comfy.

Location of the Hostal Hera is perfect. Walking distance to Barceloneta and La Rambla with convenient city transport.

Good independent hotel, would stay here again.

The room was a little bit small, but adequate.

The location was super convenient, located in the admist of the gothic quarter. It's close to many popular bars and restaurants, which could be easily reached by foot. The price was good for a location like this. The staff was helpful and friendly, and recommended some restaurants for us. The room was clean and tidy.

As mentioned in previous reviews, the noise does travel. It didn't bother us too much and I did take ear plugs.

Location was great, super easy to get around with great transport links. The staff were friendly and very accommodating, especially the women who was working there, she made us feel at home. We were able to borrow an iron and extra towels.

Unfortunately, the soundproofing is pretty bad as I can hear people talking in the hall or other guest alarm, but honestly it does not bother me that much :) I also pretty unfortunate to get a room next to the water system as i can hear the system working all the time, but again it won't bother you that much :)

Location is excellent! very close to metro station, and bus stop! next to the hotel, there is a top 50 bar which is great for you to chill. There are several stores as well if you need to buy some drinks or groceries. City center is walking distance! I bought a three day pass for transportation, and I dont even use it that much since this hostel is close to anywhere! The staff is really helpful and friendly, bed is comfy enough, and it is really clean! Love the thick blanket provided here :)

Nothing to point out, except keep in mind there’s no elevator since it’s an old tradicional building.

Very simple place to stay, nice hosts, perfect to rest after a day of sightseeing. Not the biggest or most luxurious place, but served exactly its purpose: have a sleep and a warm shower!

It was very very stinky but that is an overall Barcelona problem.

The staff was super friendly and understanding and the location is good- the place is great for a short stay.

Our first night, the shower had only stone cold water. We couldn't shower because it was so cold, there was no heating to the water in the middle of winter. Our next night, the water was luke-warm and only just bearable so we showered very quickly and uncomfortably. By the third night the water was hot, but we only stayed for 4 nights so only 2/4 were actually hot water. Also, we didn't really get an introduction on the facilities, nobody told us what was available when we arrived so we didn't find out that there was tea and coffee downstairs until we checked out, which really disappointed us because we would have used that every morning if we had known. The cleaner came in and replaced our towels every day, except one day they took out all of our towels including floor mat and hand towels, and didn't give us any new ones! So I had to go downstairs and ask for new towels because we had none. The staff member at the desk who gave me the towels was helpful and friendly though. The bathroom was absolutely tiny, the gap between the toilet and the sink was so small that when you sit on the toilet your head is pretty much in the sink. With two people who use different amenities at the same time to save time, it made trying to squeeze around each other very difficult. Also, one of the days after the cleaners had come, we arrived back at our room and found something like sand covering the whole floor. It was a thin layer and hard to see, but it was everywhere. It definitely wasn't us, we hadn't even been anywhere near a beach and we take our shoes off just inside the door. It made walking around in barefoot very uncomfortable, like walking on gravel, and we were wondering what the cleaner was doing to make such a mess on the floor in a room that was clean when we left it! The cleaner also took my souvenir, I got a bottle from a shop and wanted to keep it as it was glass and very good quality, I was going to bring it home and use it.

The location is excellent, and a nice view of the street down below from a balcony room. The staff are lovely and helpful.

- For those sensitive to noise, the soundproofing in this old building is awful. The presence of a popular bar downstairs can result in noise persisting until midnight. Additionally, the proximity to the street means early morning hustle and traffic noise.

- The hotel's location is quite convenient, just a 5-minute walk to the metro, and the neighbourhood is vibrant and lively. - Both the room and bathroom were notably clean. - The female staff was friendly and accommodating.

The building is in bad condition. It wasn’t the cleanest, but for the price is great.

The location is great. You are surrounded by activities and close to the sea.

Clean, comfortable room with all the necessities. Great size rooms with crisp quite linen.

No drawers, cupboards or hangers - didn't really bother me, but others might not like it.

Location was amazing! The 'bin smell' people talk about is only on the ground floor by the entrance, by the time you get to the floor of the hostel, there's nothing like it. :) I had the balcony room and it was perfect for people watching before heading out for the evening. The curtains are SO good that I slept through into the afternoon one day, so if you don't intend a blackout, leave them a bit ajar ;)

It is not elavator in the building, you need to go many traps up to your room.

The location is perfect , it is near the Barceloneta metro and beach. The staff is always nice, they helping you with all the question you need. The rom was clean and the cleaniness was very good. Very good plane to stay if you like the beach.

Just a warning that you have to do stairs. Fine for our family but might not work if you have younger kids or mobility troubles.

Location was great. The room was comfortable.
