We stayed for 5 nights. I was full of trepidation having read bad reviews about the area, grumpy staff and unpleasant rooms. Was greatly relieved when the man on reception was kind and welcoming! Not all that surprised to find that the room we were allocated didn't have any windows - correction, there were actually two windows, one in the... More

I stayed for 7 nights with my spouse and our daughter(young adult). We were a bit hesitant and unsure of how things may turn out to be. But it was a pleasant surprise! This hostal is definitely ahead of other similar places of tourist residences and hostals in this great city. The external facade portrayed a peaceful and secure environment... More

Free Wifi, but signal only really covers reception (I could get a signal in my room - sometimes - by opening the window and putting... More

After travelling 20 hours to get to Barcelona from Californnia, My boyfriend and i finally arrived at Hostal Abrevadero on a hot day. We then had to wait 4 hours for our room. Once we received it, it was two singe beds in a very disgusting room facing a brick wall. It was nothing like what we saw in the... More
