We stayed in the hostel for 7 days and had 7 sleepless nights. As one other reviewer experienced our room was right next to the reception and the buzzer was ringing all night. Also staff, although nice, didnt really care that we were sleeping at 6am!!! Walls were paper- thin and they were talking really loud. The road outside our... More

Three of us decided to stay at a hostel as we didn't feel like we needed anywhere posh for a 3 day trip to Barcelona where most of the time would be spent out exploring however we were most pleasantly suprised when arriving to pension. It is literally opposite the train station and walking distance to las ramblas, the beauty... More

Good points: - best price (you can send email to owners and, maybe, you will get a better price) - location (next to Citadela Parc, Zoo, Passeig del Born, Chocolate Museum, 10 minutes to metro Jaume and Barcelonetta, 15 min to Rambla). - very nice and helpfull owners (Jorge and Aida). - clean room and bathroom (we had a room...

I stayed here with my boyfriend and another couple, there were only two rooms left when we booked, a private double with en suite shower and private balcony and a triple room with shared shower (which obviously cost less) BOOK THE SHARED!! It was so much nicer than our room which was right next to the reception, as its open... More

The location of the pension was pretty good, close to a metro station and only ten minutes walking far from La rambla. The reception was open 24/7, it was a pity that the staff couldn't talk in english though. We booked a double room, decent double bed, small TV and a big enough wardrobe for a couple. Being close to... More

Just returned home from a great stay in Barcelona at Pension Ciudadela. The helpful staff were at hand 24 hours a day, rooms were very clean, safe and sweet. We had a private bathroom, the shower was fantastic! Our rooms also had a good TV with plenty of channels to choose from. There are great transport links via the Barceloneta... More

This is a very average Pension for the price. It is passable, but not one I would recommend. The first night was a rough one since we arrived around midnight. The triple room with bathroom had an industrial feel, was very noisy, had a rock-hard bed, and there was a bright orange light that cannot be turned off. When I... More

The location is in an excellent area of Barcelona; it's near a major metro stop and it's near the Picasso mueusum and the waterside. Unfortunately the room itself was pretty bad. Just to get inside you have to ring a bell (my girlfriend and I don't know Spanish, and we walked right by its gate three times before figuring out... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and couldn't ask for more! The daytime staff were helpful and friendly, the room was clean and spacious, the location was great (walking distance to las ramblas and the beach). It is true that it could get a bit noisy from traffic, but we still managed to sleep without earplugs.
