“Basic but clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

person found this review helpful

We decided to stay here because we thought it would be in walking distance to the port as were going on a cruise. True, it is close to the port but not walking distance as most of the ships are at the far end of the port and way too far to walk with luggage. We ended up getting a taxi so it would not have made much different if we had chose somewhere in another location of Barcelona. We stayed in a quad room which had 4 beds. The room was small but clean. It did feel closed in as there were no windows and it was very dark even during the day. The room and bathroom was basic but we found it to be clean. I didn't find the people working at the reception very friendly. There was one man who I assume was the boss who was reasonably friendly and helpful but the young man and young girl working there were not particlarly friendly or helpful and their english was limited. The location was fine as we could easily walk to Las Ramblas but the area around the hotel was a bit on the seedy side. Anyone who goes to Barcelona needs to be particularly careful with their belongings as pickpockets are rife. We met one woman at the hostal who had everything stolen including passport. The Hostal BCN Port is fine is you just want a bed for the night before your cruise.

“Solid, no frills option”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2010

Good location; small but clean and comfortable room; attentive service. Room on first floor (second story) was slightly noisy in the evenings and early mornings (from the cafeteria below), but all in all not bad -- just a little expensive.

“Great location for this hostel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2010

person found this review helpful

Since it is a hostel, it was quite noisy at night (group of portuguese college students on holidays). But that was to be expected based on the reviews. That's my only complaint. Otherwise, it's a great location (1 block from port and 1 block from end of Las Ramblas), and a great value for the money. The man at the front desk was very helpful.

“Very good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2009

I stayed here one night prior to a cruise. It is a very clean and well located hotel. It is just a few minutes walk to the bottom of the Ramblas and the Maritime Museum is around the corner. If you are going on a cruise, just walk to behind the Christopher Columbus Statue and catch the shuttle bus for E2 per person. Takes you right to the ship.
The rooms are small and I found the traffic noise a bit loud at night (I turned on the fan to drown out the noise). For E63 for a single room, it was excellent value and great for one night especially if you are going on a cruise and just need a place to stay.

“Lovely place, comfortable, convenient and right in the middle of everything!”

I must admit that the word "Hostel" was not encouraging, but we were so pleased to have gone ahead and booked an overnight room pre-cruise. We wanted to be within walking distance of most attractions and also close to the Cruise ship Port. The bed was most comfortable! Good to mention for anyone with mobility difficulties - there are a few rooms on the main floor with wheelchair access and huge bathrooms/shower areas.
