Overall Ratings & Reviews Hostal Hera

Great stay, water leaks from shower but overall good stay

The staff was nice but never seemed curious to ask anything… they just watched us come and go, struggling. There is no elevator, so you have to carry your suitcases up three flights of stairs… in a hallway that smells every moment like a sewer. And the stairs after the first flight are were broken, wobbly and crooked. The temperature in the hostel was out of control. Super hot, no ventilation. The shower sprayed water that got everything wet and hot water was very inconsistent. The space in every aspect was too small… the hallway to the rooms was always congested and awkward, the bedroom was so small we had no way to access our suitcases without putting everything away to pull out what we needed, there was no shelf for toiletries, no place to put suitcases away, no way to take clothes out of our suitcases or put anywhere, the bed barely fits in the room - let alone two people. The lights were broken. The blankets were unwashed. The water from brushing our teeth got us sick for two days and there was no clean water to drink, plus the kettle for tea in the hallway was unwashed. We liked the location but were very uncomfortable anytime we were in the room… which we had to stay in as we got sick, and constantly were trying to control our body temperature from the raging heat we had no way to control. It was a very difficult stay and we cannot recommend it unless you are a solo traveller with low expectations.

Super well located, friendly staff, clean and comfortable. Of course a bit noisy in this neighborhood, but reasonable.

Super small place but has what is needed. We had a problem with the bathroom shower liking to the floor but we figured it out. Friendly staff and location was excellent

Everything was as expected. The only problem is Poor WIFI signal. Not sure if it’s the hotel o the city.

This is a very good Hostal. It is ideally located for easy walking to museums, restaurants, local landmarks, banking facilities and tours. Very clean and the staff were helpful. Excellent security and 24 hour reception. It is located on the 3rd floor of the building and the final staircase is somewhat narrow on the risers. Also the motion activated lighting on the staircases didn’t always work.

This is most definitely a budget accommodation. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed my stay, but I didn’t actively dislike it. The room was small (as expected), but not like the pictures. The shower was nice and relatively large for a hostel en-suite. The building has charm, but lots and lots of stairs. The staff was 50/50 - one of the overnight staff was extremely rude after our air conditioning died, but most people were friendly enough. The location is great, but I personally would spend a little bit extra for a better accommodation if you’re planning on spending any time in the room at all.

Met expectations of a hostel. Bathroom had a bad smell if the door was left closed and refrigerator was on a switch which their outlet kept turning off so it wasn’t reliable. Otherwise it was clean and quiet

Great location

Perfect location!

Very enjoyable stay in Barcelona. The entire staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach and brilliant eateries very close by. The restaurant across the street at Estacio de França was extremely good value. 15€ for 3 courses with choices plus wine, beer or soft drink included. Honest Greens around the corner is excellent. Paradiso is next door, very handy when asking for directions, everyone knows where that is. Room was a good size for 3, 1 double and 1 single bed. Air con worked well and the balcony with 2 chairs was a bonus. There's no lift but we're in our 70's and we coped ok. The reception is on the 3rd floor. Access via the intercom. Walkable from the bus station or catch a bus from Arc de Triomf. Barceloneta is the closest metro or Jaume.

The place wast fast to find. The area around is the best we found a beautiful church and great shopping and restaurants. The staff were friendly and very helpful with any questions. The only complaint is the stairs. The main office is in the 3 floor and if you’re lucky your room will be in that floor. If not your room is in the fifth floor. It is a lot of stairs every time we had to go out.

Comfortable hotel in a great location.

Nice and easy check in. Good communication from staff about information. Perfect location close to Metro and gothic area of BCN. Room well looked after.

Loved it!

It was perfect for what we wanted. Central so a lot of what we wanted to see was walking distance. We had a late check in and this was organised perfectly. Front desk couldn’t have been more helpful, would definitely stay again.

Property has a lot of cocktails bar and restaurants near by.

Friendly and helpful staff. The location is nice. We were pleasantly surprised that this place was literally next door to the Paradiso. Look it up. It is rated one of the best cocktail bars in the world. Other than the stairs, we really enjoyed ourselves.

It was a very good experince to stay.Staff was welcoming and helpful in giving information about the area.very good location to stay and explore the area. Near to everything from food to travel around.

Simple, no frills, comfortable and clean. Great staff. Most important to me was its location.
