  • 1/5 Johan P. 5 years ago on Google
    Reception did not speak English, Super angry Staff (minus their son I think, only met him when checking out a day early), Could not bring a guest to my own room despite renting my own room, Slow internet, My window looked directly into the washing room (??), Have to go through 2 doors which only reception can open to get to my room, Almost got robbed and attacked by crack lady right outside the place. Felt like living with my super angry, judgmental, conservative grandmother, except dirtier. I checked out one day early despite losing money to move to another Hotel, it was that bad. The atmosphere was awful. Do yourself a favor; if you want it cheap; get a good hostel. If you want your own room; get a proper hotel.

    The worst ever experience. You'd better stay at Barcelona-Sants station, it's more clean and quiet.

    Friendly staff and everything very clean, but I only recommend it if you are going to spend a maximum of two nights in Barcelona. The bed is very narrow and no daylight enters the room. The window has blinds that only open halfway and the view I had was like the staff smoking area. As I am allergic to cigarettes, I always kept the window closed. Early in the morning I was woken up by the noise of the inn's washing machine and the doors slammed many times.

    Middling. Rooms are extremely dated and look like they haven’t been updated since the 1980s. Despite that, the most comfortable (albeit small) bed I had on my trip was here, and the largest bathroom for being a private bath! Had a bathtub that was about 3/4 of American size, meaning plenty of room to move around in the shower. Good of them to provide lots of towels, which smelled good and clean, and a good size room. If you’re just looking to sleep, shower, and store your stuff, this works. Heed the other warnings about no elevator- even in the main entry of the building there are many stairs to the main door of the hostel. Pack light. The fridge was a nice touch so I could have cold water all the time! Con: I swear to god this must be the loudest street in the world. The various trash and recycling trucks came through various times a night, loud partiers, screaming people, random noise. You have to keep the back sliding door open because the air con was disabled, so you can’t block out that noise. Be warned: the lady at the front desk does NOT speak English. I believe she speaks Catalan. If you really need to ask a lot of questions in English, she is not the person for that. I threw out some Italian and we got where we needed to be in the end but just be prepared for this. Good location close to Rambla, restaurants nearby, and about equidistant from stops on Yellow or Green metro line (5-8 minute walk).

  • 3/5 Michael van D. 4 years ago on Google
    Location is perfect, directly in the center near the harbour, subway and plenty of restaurants and bars. The room was fine on a budget, nothing fancy. Interior very outdated and the bathroom wasn't very clean. The radiator was very dirty and there was dirty water in the toiletbrush holder (toilet itself very clean). Beds were clean though and comfortable. Staff was very friendly, didn't speak English but managed to understand eachother anyway. Again, nothing fancy and a bit dirty, but great location and very affordable.

    Moderate budget hostel with private room to sleep. The room were basic but sufficient and comes with a fridge.

  • 5/5 Ada K. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent value for money. Location was 10/10, everything in walking distance. It was clean and even there was great AC in the room. Really recommend

  • 5/5 Nizzoi Paul R. 5 years ago on Google
    Verry helpful and nice people. The location is close to everything, but not as close to be disturbing. Pretty quiet at night. You have your own balcony. Small room, but not that small bathroom. Really clean overall. Simply loved, next time when i come in Barcelona, i will come back here

  • 5/5 Graeme M. 5 years ago on Google
    Basic room but has fan and fridge. Ideal for what we wanted and location was great for us. If you have difficulty climbing narrow stairs then not suitable. Will definitely be booking it again.

  • 4/5 David B. 11 months ago on Google
    It's in perfect location in Barcelona within walking distance to La Rambla, shops and restaurants. Room is pretty basic but clean, with good wifi, private bathroom, small TV with only Spanish channels and a refrigerator. A shared kitchen with kettle and microwave is also available. There is a good family run small restaurant (nothing posh) just outside the hostel which is very good for breakfast or a quick brunch. There is a vending machine with hot beverages and snacks in the reception area at a very cheap price. Tends to be a bit noisy late hours due to the surrounding restaurants and pubs in the area...not good if you are a light early sleeper😀 Hostel has no lift means you need to carry luggage 2 storeys up from the stairs. The host is very welcoming and helpful. If you want to visit Barcelona and not after a flashy accomodation this is the right place and value for your money.

  • 5/5 Vidhya B. 10 months ago on Google
    Perfect hostel. The check in and check out process was very smooth. It is on the first floor. It is very clean and well maintained. The lady at the reception was nice. There is RO machine so either drink from the tap or buy water. There is a supermarket just outside. Good rooms with all basic amenities. Linens and towels were changed every day and the room service was done regularly. Our room with private bathroom had a beautiful balcony which was so cute and had a beautiful view of gothic quaters. We went during mid May and was hot or cold. There waa always hot water. The location is perfect. Everything is in a walking distance. For the price it is really good. It’s just that the wifi is not that good. They store luggage till 6pm every day after checkout if you want. I will highly recommend this hostel.

  • 5/5 Rakshith T. 1 year ago on Google
    Hotel in the prime location. Clean and tidy. Felt bit expensive for a single room but service is good. Host is polite and helpful. Overall it's a good place to stay.

  • 5/5 Vikram K. 11 months ago on Google
    Fantastic hotel with great location. The staff is super friendly. They know the needs of their tourist guests, and do everything possible to make the stay of tourists most comfortable in Barcelona. I definitely suggest this hotel to all who want to stay at a central location of Barcelona, and have a limited budget. I will surely stay here when I visit Barcelona again.

  • 4/5 Netra L. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Marlo A. 8 months ago on Google
    Rooms were plain but clean. My A/C stopped working and luckily we had another room, so I moved in with them. It was a national holiday, so they were booked. The staff was super nice. Tried to speak English, we used a lot of Google translate. They tried to make the stay nice. You cannot beat the location. It was amazing! Walking distance to so much!

  • 4/5 Krzysztof G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I would recommend. Let's start from the beginning. The guest house is right in the center of the old town, close to everything. At the same time, the tenement does not stand at the main tourist route, thanks to which it is quiet at night and in the evening. The tenement house itself needs some renovation like most buildings in the area. We had a room with a bathroom, cleaned daily and sheets changed daily. Very nice service. Hot water and heating are without problems. In a word, I recommend to everyone (Original) Polecam. Zacznijmy jednak od początku. Pensjonat jest w samym centrum starego miasta, wszędzie blisko. Jednocześnie kamienica nie stoi przy głównym trakcie turystcznym dzięki czemu w nocy i wieczorem jest cicho. Sama kamienica wymaga trochę remontu jak większość budynków w okolicy. Mieliśmy pokój z łazienką, codziennie sprzątany i codziennie wymieniana pościel. Bardzo miła obsługa. Ciepła woda i ogrzewanie są bez problemów. Jednym słowem polecam wszystkim

    Stayed there for 2 nights - would not recommend it !

  • 1/5 Carlos C. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What has never been seen, the owner talks to the cleaner shouting from the first floor since 9 in the morning, which does not allow guests to sleep. They do not give you new towels until the third day, if they are wet “it is not your problem” and we had to dry with the wet towels. The window of the room, 202, does not close so it gets cold at night and the noise of the street. I certainly do not recommend this hostel with many more around. (Original) Lo nunca visto, la dueña habla con la limpiadora a gritos desde el primer piso desde las 9 de la mañana con lo que no permite dormir a los huéspedes. No te dan toallas nuevas hasta el tercer dia, si están húmedas “no es su problema” y nos tuvimos que secar con las toallas húmedas. La ventana de la habitación, la 202, no cierra por lo que entra frío por la noche y el ruido de la calle. Desde luego no recomiendo este hostal habiendo muchos más alrededor.

  • 5/5 Яна �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) What can I say, the hotel is very old, but somehow cozy) The rooms are spacious, the bathroom is generally huge (there is hot water, a lot of towels). The room is very clean, the bed is excellent, the mattresses too. Everything worked fine. But the biggest plus is the balcony that overlooked a small cozy courtyard of the Gothic quarter) Everything is nearby, metro, beach, Boqueria market, supermarkets, etc. Special thanks to the owners of the hotel, very nice people, trying to help, it is clear that this is a family business. Thanks for the rest)) (Original) Ну что сказать, отель очень старый, но какой-то уютный) Номера просторные, с/узел вообще огромный (горячая вода есть, полотенец куча).В номере очень чисто, постель отличная, матрасы тоже. Всё исправно работало. Но самый большой плюс, это балкончик который выходил в небольшой уютный дворик готического квартала)Всё рядом, метро, пляж, рынок Бокерия, супермаркеты и т.д. Отдельная благодарность хозяевам отельчика, очень милые люди, стараются помочь, видно что это семейный бизнес. Спасибо за отдых))

  • 2/5 Aurora R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Positive aspects: the area is excellent as it is easy to get to the Rambla and from there to move a little everywhere. Friendly staff. Negative aspects: our room was really too noisy because it faced a small square with a room open until late at night. The room was also next to the reception which we heard the bell ring even in the middle of the night, and the guests chatting in the living room! In addition, the cleaning left something to be desired and everything was a bit old-fashioned (the shower hairdryer remained in my hand, and the towel holder was full of rust). Overall it can be a good compromise if you don't have too many claims and if you don't go in the summer because there is no air conditioner and it was already warm in early June. (Original) Aspetti positivi : la zona è ottima in quanto si arriva facilmente alla Rambla e da lì spostarsi un po' ovunque. Personale gentile. Aspetti negativi: la nostra camera era davvero troppo rumorosa perché dava su una piazzetta con locale aperto fino a tarda notte. La stanza era anche accanto alla reception di cui sentivamo suonare il campanello anche a notte fonda, e gli ospiti a chiacchierare nel salottino! Inoltre la pulizia lasciava un po' desiderare e tutto era un po' vecchiotto (il phon della doccia mi è rimasto in mano, il e il porta asciugamani pieno di ruggine). Nel complesso può essere un buon compromesso se non si hanno troppe pretese e se non si va d'estate perché non c è il condizionatore e faceva già caldo i primi di giugno.

    (Translated by Google) I did not like it ... Honestly a place that the guest is required to deliver the key to his room every time he leaves, and hit the bell and wait for someone to pick it up. (Original) Não gostei... Sinceramente um lugar que o hóspede é obrigado a entregar a chave do seu quarto toda vez q sai, e bater a campanhia e esperar que alguém o atende.
