My stay at this hostal was cut short when my boyfriend (who is from Barcelona) came to visit me on my double room and the owner (an argentinian) started insulting us and insinuating that I had basically picked him up from the street as if I was a prostitute. He basically insulted us in a very, very hurtful manner and my boyfriend ended up having to take the night bus back to his house. I am 32years old, I have traveled all over the world (i actually was in barcelona after traveling in India), I have stayed in many different types of hotels, hostals, etc... and I have NEVER been treated like this. Next morning I packed my bags and moved to Pension Francia in the Borne Neighborhood. I also asked the manager for a discount for having a terrible night.
I would not recommend this Hostal, it is not worth the hasle and there are many other hostals to check out. I would much rather recommend Pension Francia!

Stay away from these crazy people!!!

The hotel was basic but had everything we were expecting - fantastic location, good value, and reasonably comfortable. There is some street noise, but that's to be expected since they are a block from a pretty busy section of the Gothic Quarter. We had a room facing a side street and the noise was fine. The room was a bit small, but still manageable for two people with suitcases. Note that they require a 1-night deposit on a credit card.

First trip to Europe and I found the hostal pretty good. We got a private room with bathroom and shower for 60EURO. The room size was was fine, it was clean and the staff was really nice/helpful.

Only thing I didn't like was the lack amenities provided. There was no fridge or kitchen in the hostal which made it impossible to cook. Also, there was only one computer which was NOT working. Luckily there was an internet cafe close by.

All in in all in it was good, especially location wise. I'd recommend.

I found this Hostal clean, quiet, and very safe. It's five minutes walk from the Ramblas, just by Placa Jaume I. The staff were exceedingly helpful, the facilities absolutely fine. I would totally recommend this as a place that is clean, simple and basic to use as a base for exploring the city.
