  • 5/5 Eugeen 4 years ago on Google
    This was a basic yet perfect hotel. This is definitely a boutique HOTEL. On the website and in some other places online I have seen it listed as a HOSTEL. It is most definitely a hotel. Our room was very bright with 2 balconies letting in lots of natural light. The room was small but so nice and airy and bright. The bed was very comfy and the shower was big and pleasant. The location of this boutique hotel really sets it apart from other similar hotels that are priced at the same as The Moods. It is so central and all the main locations of Barcelona are walkable from here. The staff are very friendly and work 24/7 to make your stay a happy one. Plus free water was such a nice touch, especially with all the walking we did. Although being next to a busy road, I did not find the traffic loud and late at night the road was quiet. 10/10 would stay here again.

    This place is really great, though probably better for shorter stays because of the fact that the rooms are smaller and meant just to sleep in. That being said, the rooms are clean, modern, and if you're lucky enough to get one with a balcony and view of the cathedral then this stay is sure to be memorable. The Moods Catedral is perfectly located and the staff at the front desk are exceptionally kind and helpful. Highly recommend this place!!

    Small, noisy and very expensive hostel without any instalations. You pay a lot of money only for cramped room, that has problem with heating and hot wáter.

    Very noisy room. A room has only small bathroom and shower. You dont have inside hangers, shelves and anything. You here another people from the hall. The price is too high. 100 euro is a madness. If you have to pay more it doesnt make sense.

    Loved my stay here! The free water/coffee/tea and cookies were a massive plus! Friendly staff. I was a solo female traveler in Barcelona, celebrating my graduation from graduate school, and I felt very safe in this area. Absolutely fantastic location for sightseeing, the only time I had to use public transit was to get to La Sagrada Familia. Truly cannot overstate how good the location is. Everything else was within 15 min walking distance. I liked the boutique aspect of the hotel, it felt like going to your apartment rather than a hotel in the best possible way! No idea why it's called a hostel because it didn't feel like one at ALL. It’s right next door to Gloria’s with the big gates, not the easiest to find but once you know what to look for it’s easy! Rooms were minimalistic but updated and modern. The view and balcony are to die for! Loved sitting and watching the world go by on the balcony with my free cup of coffee. I noticed that, at least in my room, I could even see the street life from my bed when the doors were open, which was cool. As long as the doors are completely shut, I had no issues with the noise outside, and I’m a pretty light sleeper. Will say, a mini fridge or free breakfast would’ve been nice as they do not have those, but not that serious to not have. I'm from the USA and was on a Spain trip, and had a VERY difficult flight journey with layovers/running in airports, and I vividly remember finally showing up to this hotel and being greeted with friendly and patient workers. Overall, highly recommend!

    (Translated by Google) If you do not take this hotel then you probably went crazy! The insanely cheap price that supposedly is 2 stars because they don't offer breakfast. But there are restaurants and delicacies everywhere in this area. Eat where you come from. There is a coffee bar, tea and cookies here and a crazy view if you take the room with the balcony. You can walk to any area on foot and every turn you do you return to the hotel at the end, because it's in the middle of everything. (Original) אם אתם לא לוקחים את המלון הזה אז כנראה השתגעתם! המחיר זול בטירוף כי כביכול הוא 2 כוכבים כי הם לא מציעים ארוחת בוקר. אבל יש מסעדות ומעדניות בכל מקום באזור הזה. תאכלו איפה שבא לכם. יש פה בר קפה, תה ועוגיות חופשי ונוף מטורףף אם תקחו את החדר עם המרפסת. אפשר ללכת לכל אזור שווה ברגל ובכל סיבוב שתעשו תחזרו למלון בסוף, כי הוא באמצע של הכל.

    We were pleased with our stay at the Moods Catedral. The view is beautiful, directly on the cathedral. The staff is nice. The hotel is not on the first floor, and is quite hard to find. You have to ring to enter the building. The rooms are small, but clean and nicely decorated. If you're in Barcelona for a short stay, then this place might be great for you.

    A bed. Clean bedding. A shower. A toilet. A basin. Clean towels. A hair dryer. No tissues. A television which requires a degree in electronics to operate. Granted it is clean and the location is central. For the rest - Very terrible. Very, very expensive for what one gets which is exactly what I list here.No food. No charm. The place has no sound insulation so one hears everything the neighbours say and do. Absolutely truly awful.

    NO 2 STAR HOTEL!!! IT IS A FAKE!!! The price for one night is too high. This is a joke. I paid a lot of money for nothing. if I knew this hostel before I wouldn't pay for it even 50 euros for the whole of my stay. Air conditioning doesn't work. Room equipment and furniture inside are very poor and basic. The walls are thin and we heard our neighbors even though they were sleeping. We also heard Cathedral bells every 15 minutes so we couldn't sleep because our room was very noisy. Forget even about any machine to boil the water. This is not a 2 star hotel. They have only one floor. Too expensive for a hostel of the lowest category. It's not worth even paying attention in this hostel.

    There is nothing bad I can say about this hotel! The design of the hotel is very chic & clean. Front desk service is available 24/7 to answer any of your questions or to assist you in any way. There is a neat area to make yourself coffee or tea. The hotel is located in a great area close to the Gothic Quarter! I definitely recommend!

  • 1/5 Michael B. 4 years ago on Google
    The rooms in this hostel are very basic and poor. The unique furniture in every room are only two things: bed (because should exist) and some table. Rooms dont have any wardrobe to put your clothes inside. We had to leave our clothes and stuff inside the luggage in the floor. The equipment and conditions in the rooms are prepared for a soldier, not for clients and dont worth money you pay. Forget about AC. This hostel is too expensive. In the same street around the hostel every day there were hard manifestations. People threw the paving stones and burnt the rubbish bins like during the war. Situation in the street was badly controlled.

    I can highly recommend this hotel! The location is perfect (near city center, in the middle of Barri Gòtic). The Room was clean and comfortable. We had a beautiful view from the balcony. In The Moods Catedral there is a common space where guests can drink some coffee or just relax. The services of the hotel was also great!

    Our stay was very pleasant with a little balcony facing the cathedral. My only complaints is the bathroom door as a sliding one that wouldn't stay shut. Also, it would have been nice to have a desk instead of a bench for the small nook. The staff was fantastic and very welcoming.

    NO HOTEL very very expensive hostel. For very big price you obtain small room. Sometimes we had problem with air conditioning. You pay only for locación.

  • 2/5 John H. 4 years ago on Google
    Very bad relation quality - price. We paid like for a 4 star hotel but Moods Catedral is the hostel and not a hotel. Google should change the information about this place because it is not a hotel. In photos everywhere appears whole building but the truth is that only 1 floor belongs to hostel. For more than 100 euro you get: sometimes you have not air conditioning and sometimes you have it, you have small and noisy room without isolation, small bathroom, sometimes you have not hot water and sometimes you have it. Paying 100 euro or more per night it is the madness and waste of money. You pay only for location.

  • 1/5 Amber S. 4 years ago on Google
    We came here thinking this is hotel, because in Google is written 2 stars hotel. Wrong ! Moods Catedral is hostel on 3 floor. They cheat you to establish higher price like for a luxurious hotel. In reality you have small, simple room with a shower. We paid 160 euro pero night and the electricity didn't work, air conditioning didn't work, elevator didn't work and we had problem with hot water. You had better think twice and don't book this hostel.

  • 5/5 Sanne N. 4 months ago on Google
    We will absolutely come back when we go to Barcelona again. There is no better location in the city then this one, around the corner of the Cathedral. Walking distance to the shopping center, Barceloneta and many more. Very friendly staff and the rooms were amazing with a nice view over one of Barcelona’s busiest streets. However the room was really quiet. Amazing stay!

  • 5/5 Marc K. 4 years ago on Google
    No breakfast but we were aware of it, you could find your way in the city and enjoy local breakfast. Hotel is really good but hard to find your way in the first time.

    Fantastic stay. - Clean rooms, cleaned everyday - Friendly staff - I made reservation for an interior room ( the exterior ones were all booked) but wrote a note to be notified if an exterior one became available. Not only did they do that, they upgraded us for FREE and wrote us a nice note that we found on the bed. - I recommend the exterior rooms, the balconies are really worth it To sum up, if i'm ever back in Barcelona, i'm 100% going back to the Moods

  • 4/5 Julie D (. 1 year ago on Google
    We chose The Moods for the location and price, which did not disappoint. Absolutely central to all of the sights, between the waterfront, Gaudi's highlights, Gothic Quarter, and any other neighborhood. Room was clean, very comfortable bed (american king size) and nice mood to the room, trendy.. Convenient to have coffee maker and fridge available in the common areas. This felt more like a boutique hotel than a hostel, and had 24-7 staff who all spoke English, helped us with directions, train schedule, water for the coffee maker. Bed was an American king size. One major challenge was that the air conditioner seemed to stop working overnight. Every night. But in the late morning it would start up again. We asked the desk but they had no answers, came to the room and checked settings and said "it's on now", but it definitely was not on, not blowing. We opened windows overnight and it cooled right off (was pleasant in May). Friends in another hotel experienced the same thing, maybe a shut down overnight to save money. We were fine and that was the only downside. I probably wouldn't book here again during summer but otherwise we were absolutely pleased especially at this price. Excellent shower, wifi, quiet room when windows were closed, easy access.

    We booked room at official web site. It was confirmed online. When we came to check in - they said “sorry, you booking didn’t come to our system, we don’t have room for you”. And we had to spend half of the day for searching place to stay. So we highly ask you to change decision choosing that place. In another case you can try our experience even in another service for booking.

    Good! One male staff is extremely friendly. We are grateful to him.

  • 5/5 Chris 1 year ago on Google
    The Moods Catedral hotel is an excellent option at a great price for staying downtown in Barcelona. The rooms are modern, stylish and clean, and the 24 hour coffee bar is a nice touch. Front desk staff was onsite 24 hours/day and was friendly and helpful when we had any questions. If available, request room #4, which is located in the corner and has a beautiful view of the Cathedral and square below. Pro tip: book directly through their website for an additional discount. Very happy with our experience and would definitely stay here again.

    Great location, large comfy bed, clean and tidy. Decent enough size room with a balcony, not noisy. 24/7 concierge, free tea and coffee area, able to leave bags to pick up later on last day. Friendly staff.

    Brilliant stay here, incredible location, accommodating and lovely staff, lovely room and gorgeous balcony. You really can’t go wrong!

  • 2/5 Jared 7 months ago on Google
    Great location, unfortunately everything else left a lot to be desired. We were only looking for a place for one night, due to flight fiascoes, and there were countless options nearby, but we wanted somewhere with a balcony, so chose this one, thinking it would be a decent place overall (there were many cheaper options, even with balconies. We could not even use our balcony as there was a backpacker sort that was quite loud sitting immediately adjacent to us, but that is not the fault of the hotel). There is actual carpet in the bathroom which is massively disgusting since they can never actually be cleaned (ie pee etc obviously is splashed by males using the toilet which can never be cleaned up and lives eternally in the carpet). Also, there were hairs on the walls. Finally, getting a later check out by 30 minute was denied a number of times by multiple people until finally the nice girl on the day of checkout finally allowed it. The rooms are small even for the location (visiting Barcelona every year), so cleaning would not take long. The elevator seemed to be dysfunctional from people leaving the door open on other floors, so you are required to use the stairs unless you want to wait a very long time (3 flights up which is a hassle with a lot of luggage). There is no desk or table in the room, either, just the bed and a small little bench to put a few items on. For the price, you can stay at a four-star hotel nearby and have a much better experience. This felt more like a hostel both with the clientele and the quality. I would look elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Cassie D. 5 months ago on Google
    This hotel is the perfect location right in the centre of Barcelona. The rooms were spotless and the staff were friendly. The room and location was perfect for our city break and located right outside the cathedral our view was beautiful. Highly recommend we was very happy here.

  • 5/5 Ebbie B. 10 months ago on Google
    Perfect for a weekend in Barcelona! The bed was comfortable, great bathroom, and a terrace overlooking the square. The location is perfect for walking to most places, and the service was great. Recommend 10/10!! More hotel than hostel, which is great.

  • 5/5 Francismeiry A. 9 months ago on Google
    The Moods Cathedral Hostal Boutique is perfect for a safe stay in Barcelona! The bed was comfortable, great bedroom and bathroom with hairdryer and amenities, and bedroom with a terrace with a table and chairs overlooking the avenue. The location is perfect for walking to most places, and the service was great with free cookies, water, tea and coffee. Recommend 10/10!! More hotel than hostel. Walkability: Close to the Born and the Gotic neighborhoods, Las Ramblas, the beach. And just on the side of the Cathedral of Barcelona. The only point is … there is no big sign in the front advising there it is the hostel.

  • 5/5 Ossian M. 4 months ago on Google
    The location of Moods couldn't be any better. All of the rooms are equipped with a balcony as far as I am aware. Which is amazing for chilling in the morning with free coffee (common room area) people watching and planning the day ahead. The staff were lovely and couldn't be more helpful. Reception is 24hr so accessing the building is a total breeze. The Gloria below is fantastic for a drink and a snack. The staff are extremely helpful and provide great recommendations. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and very stylish. I mucho mucho enjoyed our stay here.

    All the things you need and nothing you don't. Super clean and very comfortable basics in a phenomenal location at an unbeatable price. It seemed too good to be true when I booked it but it lived up to everyone else's reviews. We made sure to get a room with a balcony and we loved it. Highly recommend! Staff was very sweet.

    (Translated by Google) In the number of windows, consider no (what is visible in the photo is the view from the window). You won’t be able to understand except by the clock that morning has arrived (I’m generally silent about clarifying the weather situation). I WANTED how it appears in the “hotels” filter at the booking - a question! Audibility is simply amazing, you can hear in detail who and how uses the toilet, who how many cups of coffee were brewed in the shared kitchen, how many eggs were thrown into the pan in the same place. Every 15 minutes a bell rings, which is heard as if it were right in the room. The toilet and shower (in which you need to be a gymnast to turn around) are in the room, that is, almost literally, in the room.  The hostel is located on the 3rd floor, there are two options to climb:  1) up the stairs (how many flights, lost count); 2) on a tiny elevator, in which 2 people and 1 suitcase are placed with very great difficulty. (Original) В номере окон, считай нет(то, что есть видно на фото-это вид из окна). Вы не сможите никак, кроме как по часам понять, что наступило утро (про выяснение погодной ситуации - вообще молчу) .Это ХОСТЕЛ, каким образом он появляется в фильтре "отели" на букинге - вопрос! Слышимость - просто потрясающая, слышно в подробностях кто и как пользуется туалетом, кто сколько чашек кофе заварил на общей кухне, сколько яиц бросил на сковородку там же. Каждые 15 минут звонит колокол, который слышно, как будто он прям в номере. Туалет и душ (в котором чтоб повернуться нужно быть гимнастом) в номере, то есть, почти буквально, в комнате. Хостел размещен на 3-ем этаже, варианта подняться два : 1) по лестнице (сколько пролетов-сбился со счету) ; 2) на малюсеньком лифте, в который с очень большим трудом помещаются 2 человека и 1 чемодан.

    (Translated by Google) A hostel that is close to all kinds of demonstrations and riots. It is very loud, you hear everything that happens inside and outside. Is not safe. Air conditioning does not work. It is very very expensive. The rooms in the photos seem fine, but in reality you only have a very small room with no place to store your things. 100 euros for one night is crazy. (Original) Un hostel que está cerca de todo tipo manifestaciones y disturbios. Es muy ruidoso, se oye todo lo que pasa dentro y fuera. No es seguro. Aire acondicionado no funciona. Es muy muy caro.
