This is not a fancy hotel, but it is totally fine to stay there. The bathroom is clean, the internet works well and location is ok. It is a good place to stay with low budget.

VERY basic, 2 bathrooms in the corridor, not very clean and can be busy for all customers. No breakfast for a crappy room at 122euros/night. Also the walls are so thin that you can hear next rooms activities, TV or discussions. Don't expect privacy.
I had a second reservation for the trip back that I could not cancel or be refunded for during the power shut-down on 28 April. Unbelievable...

Super convenient and comfortable stay, within walking distance to the main tourist attractions but also out of the way enough that we were able to escape some of the business and explore some more local spots. Very easy check and in and staff were friendly.

We spent 6 days in Barcelona and we got the room with private bathroom.
The room was comfortable and fully equipped, the staff was extremely friendly and polite - available 24/7 - and the Hostal was in the perfect location in Poble Sec, a nice residential area super close to the city centre!
The cost is definitely on the high end for an Hostal, but all in all we were really satisfied with our stay

Place was definitely what you expect in terms of what you paid for. That being said, it was incredibly noisy at night and walls are like paper thin so could not sleep at all.

Tucked away off the main road, you just ring the bell to gain entry. Based on first floor of apartment block, rooms are really quiet, spotlessly clean and cheap for Barcelona. Would use again.
