The hotel room was very clean, no smell, and the surrounding area was also very clean. The staff were very friendly, and I was generally satisfied. The only minor drawback was that the room wasn't very soundproof, so it was easy to hear outside noises. However, for the price, I was very happy with the hotel. Thank you.

It was great and I would definitely stay here again ! The area around it is a little more urban and it looks kinda sketchy on the outside, but the inside is fantastic for the price !

Very Clean, friendly staff. Room and bathroom were small, no elevators in property. We had to stay a night to fly next day. Use some cleaning product with strong scent which can aggravate anyone’s breathing issue

Wonderful stay at the Hostal😊! Staff are warm and friendly and location is a minute away from the Tube station, so well connected. The Hostal is facing a busy street, so very safe even at night, however it gets noisy with people walking and talking on the roads throughout the night. The rooms are clean and air conditioning works well, bathrooms are spacious and room service is available. The only problem we had was two 300ml bottles provided for our 3 night stay. There is a water dispenser in the common area, but only for immediate consumption, we cannot refill our bottles when we head out to explore Barcelona. Overall a great stay at a decent price!!

A great hostal

I enjoyed my time at this hostal. Friendly and helpful reception, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, no street noise and effective air conditioning. The location was great for exploring Barcelona - close to metro and bus stops.
