to get started.

Good location, was right in middle of city. Hotel had your basic needs. Was newly renovated within the Gothic area. Free WiFi.

The hostel is in a great location. And considering for where it is, priced reasonably. It's a functional, small, no frills kind of place. Best if you do not have large suitcases, there's no room for those. The breakfast area was modern and nicely set up - again, clean, compact with a large window onto Las Ramblas, nice treat.

the room was a bit on the small side. for us it didnt matter as we were only staying for one night and we dont care as long as we have a bed but it was just a bit tight. but for the price and location i would totally stay here again. the only other thing was there seemed to only be a stairs up to the hostal reception (no elevator)...I had my strong husband to lift our heavy suitcase up it but i dont know how others would feel about carrying their suitcase up the stairs.
The hostal is in a great location. it wasnt hard to find and the staff were so lovely and friendly. the staff member we were dealing with spoke 5 languages so its probably beneficial to alot of travellers who dont speak english. the room was lovely and clean. a few restaurants were recommended to us but we went to one just a couple of doors down from the hostal and it was amazing. it was more like a bar but the food was amazing!! we ended up going there for lunch ...walking around the whole of barcelona only to go back there for dinner too.

The stairs to just get to the reception desk, but the hotel did send an email about that. Upon checking out the receptionist Erwin, did help us with our bags. Breakfast was spotty. Basic fruit, breads, juice, coffee, etc. Our room didn’t have a view.

“Very disappointing, we would not book this property again.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 6 nights
Smallest room we have ever stayed in #105. A portion of the room had been taken away for the coke machine located in the reception area. It was not the cleanest room we have slept in. Reception area directly outside our door was 24hr everyday and this created additional noise, with people coming in and out all hours. When sitting on the toilet in the bathroom it was possible to touch all walls including the back of the shower. Breakfast was basic and the dining room was small and uncomfortable. The worst value for money of any property we have booked through booking.com.
We had a small balcony with 2 chairs overlooking Las Ramblas. The location was excellent.

“As a utilitarian no nonsense place to stay perfect. For a romantic get-away wrong choice.”

There were some maintenance issues that needed to be addressed. Very small and compact rooms, including the elevator which doesn't start until the 1st floor, which in Europe is like a 3rd floor in the US. If one has a big suit case, one can barely get it up the stairs.
