Clean rooms, nice bathroom(in the triple room), staff very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Situated over busy street, but lots of shops within 1-10 min depending on what you want to eat/drink. Definitely recommend for young travelers and retirees on tight budget.

Location was excellent, walkable to Plaça de Espanya and Montjuic areas. All staff were super friendly. The triple room, however, was pretty small and the walls are very thin - you can hear people from the room beside. Bathroom was nice and modern, but lacked hangers and hand soap.

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.

Great place for a short stay.

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 good location— especially using public transit. Friendly staff. Checkout was 11 am (pretty standard).

Negative: Noisy. You can hear conversations from the next room. You can hear the plumbing when it's being flushed and when furniture is being moved. Positive: Good location, close to the Poble Sec metro station and cafes. Very friendly staff, clean place. Comfortable room and a common area where you can make tea and coffee.

10/10 Exceptional

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 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.

Great location and nice staff. Clean room. Thin walls and slow response when trying to reach the hotel through the Hotels.com app messenger. Other than that it was great.
