Very good

This is a very good Hostal. It is ideally located for easy walking to museums, restaurants, local landmarks, banking facilities and tours. Very clean and the staff were helpful. Excellent security and 24 hour reception. It is located on the 3rd floor of the building and the final staircase is somewhat narrow on the risers. Also the motion activated lighting on the staircases didn’t always work.
This is most definitely a budget accommodation. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed my stay, but I didn’t actively dislike it. The room was small (as expected), but not like the pictures. The shower was nice and relatively large for a hostel en-suite. The building has charm, but lots and lots of stairs. The staff was 50/50 - one of the overnight staff was extremely rude after our air conditioning died, but most people were friendly enough. The location is great, but I personally would spend a little bit extra for a better accommodation if you’re planning on spending any time in the room at all.
Met expectations of a hostel. Bathroom had a bad smell if the door was left closed and refrigerator was on a switch which their outlet kept turning off so it wasn’t reliable. Otherwise it was clean and quiet
Very enjoyable stay in Barcelona. The entire staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach and brilliant eateries very close by. The restaurant across the street at Estacio de França was extremely good value. 15€ for 3 courses with choices plus wine, beer or soft drink included. Honest Greens around the corner is excellent. Paradiso is next door, very handy when asking for directions, everyone knows where that is.
Room was a good size for 3, 1 double and 1 single bed. Air con worked well and the balcony with 2 chairs was a bonus. There's no lift but we're in our 70's and we coped ok. The reception is on the 3rd floor. Access via the intercom.
Walkable from the bus station or catch a bus from Arc de Triomf. Barceloneta is the closest metro or Jaume.

The place wast fast to find. The area around is the best we found a beautiful church and great shopping and restaurants. The staff were friendly and very helpful with any questions. The only complaint is the stairs. The main office is in the 3 floor and if you’re lucky your room will be in that floor. If not your room is in the fifth floor. It is a lot of stairs every time we had to go out.
Nice and easy check in. Good communication from staff about information. Perfect location close to Metro and gothic area of BCN. Room well looked after.
It was perfect for what we wanted. Central so a lot of what we wanted to see was walking distance. We had a late check in and this was organised perfectly. Front desk couldn’t have been more helpful, would definitely stay again.
Friendly and helpful staff. The location is nice. We were pleasantly surprised that this place was literally next door to the Paradiso. Look it up. It is rated one of the best cocktail bars in the world.
Other than the stairs, we really enjoyed ourselves.
It was a very good experince to stay.Staff was welcoming and helpful in giving information about the area.very good location to stay and explore the area. Near to everything from food to travel around.

Simple, no frills, comfortable and clean. Great staff. Most important to me was its location.
Location is great however with that comes noise till 3-4am. There are about 7 flights of stairs to the unit we were in so that's something to consider when hauling a lot of luggage. The unit was spacious enough with a small kitchenette which was nice. The biggest problem was no hot water, we asked about it and they said there was but no matter how long the water was on it was cool so showers weren't great. Overall it's a nice unit and a fantastic location with a few issues. We would stay again.
The rooms are basic but clean and housekeeping came every day! The staff on the front desk are at your disposal 24/7 and were very friendly, we were able to leave our bags there after checking out as our flight was later in the day. The location is ideal for exploring Barcelona and is close to the train station!

The negative is we had to walk up 6 flights of stairs. The hotel was in a convenient area and staff was helpful.
