Very good

Staff was available at all times during my stay. The property was very clean and the room was very comfortable. The metro was right across the street and it was easy to get around from the property.
Room was very small with no storage and seemed run down. Lots of street noise. Shelves in the closet didn’t seem strong enough to hold suitcases. Service was decent but not great.

Bien mais bruyant
Bon séjour pour le prix sauf pour les bruits provenant de l’étage supérieur qui sont forts et fréquents.
We stayed for three nights at the hostal and overall we had a great time. It is located in a busy avenue, so yes it can be a little noisy. But I am a light sleeper and can assure you that I slept comfortably without any issues. If you are a light sleeper some ear plugs could help. The place was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were very nice and helpful and provided good recommendations. Would stay again when visiting Barcelona again.
Amazing property location. The doom was clean and people were very helpful and attentive. Recommend to anyone who want to come and be in a nice location.
Great place for a short stay. Very clean, close to everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The beds were relatively comfortable. The choice of pillows was not that great, but that can be a personal preference.
It was a small safe location and family friendly. Very clean and easy to walk around since everything is very accessible. There was a weird musty smell from the restroom when the ventilation was off. Overall, it was a nice, safe and clean place.
Overall, good stay for 3 people. Very close to metro, and walking distance to many sights. Can store luggage at the reception, however reception staff do not speak English.
Hot water was very inconsistent which meant we could not have a warm shower. Also the drain was partially blocked so the shower would flood unless the water pressure was very low.
Room was noisy throughout stay, with noise coming from upstairs.
