Lift your suitcases a spiral staircase!!!
Tiny room with tiny bathroom. Thin walls hearing other people in other rooms. This hotel is located on the 1st floor of a bldg which includes going up a 28 step (normally 14 steps/flr in US) winding cement staircase (see photos) to access from the G (ground) floor hall entry. It even includes in the Hotel Facility Accessibility Description: “Elevator” for handicap even including a wheel chair photo (impossible). All Guests are required to manually lift their own individual suitcases up a 28 step spiral cement staircase to get to their 1st floor Check In desk. If you are traveling with heavy luggages (ie: 50lbs each allowance for airline), you will be expected to walk up your suitcases to the 1st floor where a tiny elevator is located to get from Flr # 1-4. Their is no porter service (had to beg for assistance & offer $10 tip). While the hotel discloses that an elevator is available from the 1st floor. It does not disclose that there are 28 steps spiral stairs for the guest to climb up to get to the 1st floor. There are over 70 photos provided by the hotel to show their rooms & facilities. However, no photos of the stairs? They indicate that it is on the welcome email after you book a non-refundable room. I even complained on the "welcome email" which was sent via Hotel.com & never received a rsponse from the Hotel. This false advertisement of “Handicap” accessibility is illegal and should be flagged by Travel websites.

We are sorry for the inconveniences and misunderstandings that occurred during your stay. We would appreciate a screenshot of the place where you booked to check the icon and information shown on their website to verify it because in all our sales channels and even on our website appears very clearly that we do not have an elevator at street level. There are only 25 steps to climb and we do not have a bellboy service. We have all pictures also in our sales channels, so please look at them again to verify it. Again we regret any misunderstanding and we hope that in your next reservations in any establishment you carefully check the features of the property.

This hostel is exactly as advertised. You need to walk up 2 flights of stairs. Desk staff were excellent. Room small but very clean and adequate. There was a slight smell coming from shower drain which is in close proximity to head of bed. Drain smell does seem to be an issue in Barcelona. The breakfast was fantastic. Lots of healthy choices and “goodies”.

This hotel was perfectly located on the Ramblas but with high-quality windows and air conditioning, you hardly noticed the noise.

This property is right in the heart of old town Barcelona close to everything. The area is beautiful with lots of stores & restaurants. The hotel is only steps from a Metro stop which makes exploring economical & convenient. We cannot begin to express how very wonderful the staff is - so hospitable, kind, and over-the-top customer oriented. Know that there are some stairs to navigate so if you have mobility problems you might not be comfortable here. Breakfast included was good - European style with meats, cheeses, variety of rolls & bread, fruit and coffee/tea/juice. We hope to go back.

Double charges, not the bargain i planned
The hotel charged my credit card at reservation oct 10 for the full amount of 3 nights via hotels.com. . But, on check in on oct 25 the hostal insisted on taking my credit card to charge the full amount a second time. They could not answer my questions if this was merely a hold or a second charge.

As per the hotels description there was an in-room safe. There was no safe. It was boiling hot in the room. We asked different staff at reception to check the AC and got the standard answer that the city requires the AC to stay at 27 degrees. Finally, we investigated ourselves and noticed that many of the vents were closed.This issue could have easily been sorted if anyone had to just come and take a look at the AC. We requested no housekeeping and maintained the room ourselves for the 5 days we were there. On the last day we asked if we could check out half an hour later as we would be too early for our flight, and received a rude NO. After a 4 night stay, half an hour is not a lot to ask. I have to give credit to the man who works at the Breakfast area. He was amazing. Quick,efficient and very polite.

Thank you very much Hazel for sharing your opinion. We are very sorry for your bad experience at Hostal Mare Nostrum. As my colleagues have mentioned, we are a very environmentally conscious hostel and we set the temperature of our rooms according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. We have extra fans in case the temperature is not to your comfort. On the other hand, we cannot satisfy your need for Late Check Out, as it all depends on the next guest arrival. We must have time to prepare the room and sometimes even have the opportunity to offer an early check in, as it was in your case. We would like to inform you that we do have a safe for common use at the front desk. All you have to do is ask the receptionist. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family in your next visits to the city.

Great location on ramblas, I stayed for one night which was enough as the room was small. It has everything you need although a smell from bathroom. Which was a wet room - shower over toilet. I had a balcony and view of street and heard no noise, was really pleasantly suprised given the view of the street I had. I think for the price it was overpriced, however barcelona is generally expensive.

Nice stay!
This hotel was great! The room was quaint and had everything I needed. It was in a prime location and the staff was really friendly. My flight arrived really early so they let me store my bags on-site for free which was great! Breakfast was delicious and a great people watching spot too. I do wish that there was another lock on the doors though. I was traveling alone and people kept accidentally knocking on my door in the middle of the night. I would've felt more secure if so.

great location
this is a wonder hotel/hostel. real close to las ramblas. see photo. the breakfast was great. However....if you have a big/heavy suitcase, you do have to carry it up a flight of stairs before you get to reception. otherwise, there is a lift to your room.

Great stay. Fantastic location beside the metro. Rooms were quiet considering the noise outside. Rooms and beds were perfect for what we needed, small but comfy. Staff v friendly and the breakfast was a nice option in the mornings

Located just off La Rambla, the noise is noticable. The lobby is a walk-up a flight of stairs, difficult with a heavy suitcase. Rooms are small. Breakfast was good and with reasonable hours (8-11). Hotel is well located for walking to beach, waterfront, museums, bars, restaurants.

Thank you very much Paul for sharing your opinion. We are glad to know that you enjoyed our great location in the heart of Barcelona. Very close to the main tourist attractions of the city. It is a pleasure to know that you enjoyed our buffet breakfast overlooking the Ramblas, all the products we serve are of proximity. It is a way to help small businesses in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, due to the structure of the building, we cannot have an elevator from the street level. But we do have an elevator from reception that gives access to all floors. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in your future visits to the city.
