This is a family run gem right in the heart of the city. It will not be beaten on price and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to major attractions and shopping we found our stay there very pleasant. ##### Francis Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Due to recent reviews we almost booked else where and I’m very glad we didn’t. The room was great and spacious with a private bathroom and small patio. There was even a fan put in the room for us which helped at night. The location was great ##### Katrina Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location, just few minutes walk away from the busy La Rambla Boulevard & La Boqueria Market for food and shopping. Friendly staff, easy check in and out.

The prices are high for what it is, but that is Barcelona prices for you! Surprisingly quiet given its central location ##### Philip Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica 30 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. ##### Erica Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason 30 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again. ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Li Mei 15 Nov 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities It is situated in a continent place, easy access to everything, the metro station is just around the end of the alley,and the staff are friendly, showed me the way to get around to the bus stop. ##### Li Mei Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tero 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The location was great and the staff were very nice, welcoming and helpful. Reception was open 24/7 and cleaning was comprehensive. The room was quiet, clean and kinda small but works very well for two. Bed was large but kinda hard. Overall we liked our stay and would recommend this hostel for Barcelona visitors. Only minus side is there's no lift, so if it's hard to climb stairs you should reconsider, but if not, please go to this hostel! Greetings from from Finland! ##### Tero Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie 10 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean, good position, friendly A clean guesthouse in a good position just off the seaward end of La Rambla. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Even though I cannot speak Catalan or Spanish, and they did not speak English, we managed to understand each other! ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Markus 11 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location, only 3 minutes away from the Ramblas and just 10 minutes away from Plaza Catalunya.Clean place, good price ##### Markus Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ingibjörg 29 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Good for short stay near the Rambla.

The room was basic but great and very clean as was the toilet and shower. Stayed with my Son for a 3 night stay. Right in the centre at Liceu, close to everything. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend it. ##### Denis Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sara 20 Jun 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### DO NOT STAY HERE! The worst place I’ve ever stayed at… only one member of the staff speaks English, the rooms were disgusting there were dust everywhere, the fan didn’t work, the beds were not even beds they were “camping” beds. The walls are paper thin so we heard someone snoring and it sounded like he was under our bed. I got some kind of rashes all over my back (probably from the bedding) and trouble breathing because of how filthy it was. It has now been a couple of days and my breathing and rashes are still bad. I do not wish this experience for anyone! ##### Sara Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James 9 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shashank 14 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay ##### shashank Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Velande 9 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was a great place to stay ##### Velande Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Geertje 23 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very basic, but clean and friendly people, always available to help. ##### Geertje Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 14 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It is clean, good beds, hot water, close to everything, and very friendly reception ##### Michelle Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mei Chi 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities You'll get what you paid for. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean, location is very convenient, on a side street near Rambler. No air con, can be quite hot in summer. Rooms are on 3rd floor, no elevator. Not an ideal location for seniors or family with small kids. At night, the area is a bit noisy and you might not feel 100% safe strolling around. ##### Mei Chi Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ella 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wouldn’t return Had a weird smell from walking in the door, very run down and no air con (not ideal in summer). The street it is on smelt like urine. ##### Ella Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Danny 8 Sept 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We did not stay. The hostal's front desk is on a 2nd floor, no elevator but the escalator was acceptable. To go to the room we were assigned to, there was a narrow and uncomfortable escalator. There was no A/C in the room and no bathroom either. On top of all these inconveniences the area was bad an extremely unsafe. WE DID NOT STAYED AND ENDED LOOSING THE MONEY ##### Danny Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SM 10 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall great for a few days of stay, but the water leaked through the wall and onto the room every time we showered. Other than that everything was great ##### SM Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Corner Apartments by Aspasios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Arago312-Apartments.h5555842.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Barcelona Skipper ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Pullman-Barcelona-Skipper.h1495164.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel & Spa Villa Olímpic@ Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Villa-Olimpic-Suites.h2835807.Hotel-Information) > > [Urbany Hostels Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Urbany-Hostels-Barcelona.h8269194.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hoxton Poblenou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-The-Hoxton-Poblenou.h1153145.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel SB Diagonal Zero 4 Sup](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-SB-Diagonal-Zero-Barcelona.h2406475.Hotel-Information) > > [Nobu Hotel Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Nobu-Hotel-Barcelona.h39067368.Hotel-Information) > > [W Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-W-Barcelona.h2578680.Hotel-Information) > > [Eurostars Barcelona Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Ocean-Drive-Barcelona.h17294785.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Barcelona Plaza Espana by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Barcelona-Granvia-Plaza-Espana.h1614045.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel SB Glow 4 Sup](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-SB-Glow.h18698529.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Boutique Hotel Barcelona Sagrada Familia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Leonardo-Boutique-Hotel-Barcelona-Sagrada-Familia.h4129466.Hotel-Information) > > [Motel One Barcelona - Ciutadella](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Motel-One-Barcelona-Ciutadella.h22465345.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Barcelona Glories 22](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Ibis-Barcelona-Glories-22.h2759156.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel ILUNION Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-ILUNION-Barcelona.h1874136.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel SB Plaza Europa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-SB-Plaza-Europa.h6507533.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Barcelona Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Catalonia-Barcelona-Plaza.h16818.Hotel-Information) > > [Bless Hotel Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Paseo-De-Gracia.h19444561.Hotel-Information) > > [Arcelon Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Ejido-Hotels-Arcelon-Hotel.h81503584.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Barcelona Gran Via](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Leonardo-Hotel-Barcelona-Gran-Via.h1061157.Hotel-Information) > > [Claris Hotel & Spa 5\*GL, a Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Claris-Hotel-Spa-GL.h905532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Barcelona Princess](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-Barcelona-Princess.h1152063.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel El Palace Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-El-Palace-Barcelona.h11700.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Barcelona by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-InterContinental-Barcelona.h28279.Hotel-Information) > > [Gran Hotel Havana by Escampa Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Havana-By-Escampa-Hotels.h868702.Hotel-Information) > > [ZT The Golden Hotel Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-ZT-The-Golden-Hotel-Barcelona.h18606114.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Acta Voraport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Voraport-Barcelona.h38986079.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Barcelona Fira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Hotel-Barcelona-Fira.h58277151.Hotel-Information) > > [Soho Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Soho-Hotel.h1527521.Hotel-Information) ---
