Overall Ratings & Reviews Hostal Barcelona Centro

Great value for the location and very good standard of accommodation, room a bit small but all round very good for the value

Room was clean and staff were friendly.

The room was clean. And they cleaned the room and changed towels everyday. They serve free coffee tea even sweets. I could drink water from water server anytime. Just the entlance door didn't open smoothly after pressing code.

A pleasant stay and nearby to metro and bus stop, and only 2 minutes walk to shopping area

Our stay was excellent overall. Our reception by Karen was top notch...every hotel would be lucky to have such a person receiving their guests. So friendly and helpful. The room was well designed and stocked, including a little fridge, though the room itself was a pretty small but not unusually so. Great location for restaurants and shopping and only a few minutes walk to the heart of the Gothic Quarter.

Very good

Fantastic location, excellent staff, I would definitely stay here again on my next visit!

Ceceile the front office reception was very helpful, location is great

It was a lovely place to stay and the Manager/ Owner was super kind and the coffee and pastries for breakfast were very good. I would definitely stay there again. Great hospitality.

nice, quiet hostel. a/c worked well.

Great location-close to restaurants, stores and tourists' sites. Clean, and very friendly helpful staff.

What a wonderful find! Yes the rooms are small. But the place is magical. It feels like you are a treasured relation that your hostess wants to make sure your stay is perfect in all ways. A central location. A coffee machine and small refrigerator for your use in the break room. A total of eight rooms. You are given keys not only for your room but also for the huge ancient wooden exterior doors and glass doors in the building lobby. The entire hotel is located on the second floor, with elevator access.

easy access, convenient location

Easy check-in, clean room, confortable, perfect location, good price... Everything I hoped for.

The staff memebers were so helpful

It was a great experience. The only thing I would recommend is to work on the smell of the rooms. I could smell humidity so strongly.

La habitación muy cómoda. Me encantó que tuvieran zona con tés y café para servirse cuando quisiera. Está muy bien ubicado.

everything was OK

Overall, had a lovely one night stay. The gentleman that received us (Brayko) was extraordinarily helpful, sweet, and interested in our experience (despite us being in a rush when we arrived). The bedding was comfortable, the towels were large and fluffy, there were bottles of water and chocolates waiting for us, the common area has nespresso pods and tea - a bunch of nice little touches. The location is convenient (we wanted somewhere close to the aerobus for getting to and from the airport). A few points to note: - when arriving, it is critical to communicate with reception because they will not be waiting for you unless you tell them when you'll be there (we learned this the hard way) - we booked through hotels.com, but they did not receive confirmation of my payment (I had booked about 24h prior) and this created a little bit of check in drama

Property itself was very conveniently located for my needs. Price was good. On the other hand, check-in on a Sunday morning (10am) was a bit of a mess. I was handed a wrong set of keys. I couldn’t enter the property when coming back in the afternoon at 2pm, when my room was ready. Nobody at the reception. I contacted the property manager and I was asked to try the keys over and over again but they were totally wrong keys. Luckily after a while somebody came out from the building and I was able to enter. Just when I was about to leave and book an other place to stay, a friendly person returned to reception and handed me the right set of keys. I ended up missing one important meeting because of the key mess. Which I’m very sad about. No actual apology or any sort of refund offered by the manager. They had a day off! Place itself was still nice but make sure your keys work!! I’m sure my experience was just one off and bad luck. Hopefully it is not the way how the property operates.
