Hostal Martinval

I am a very non-picky person, and it is extremely rare for me to leave a negative review. This probably won't affect anyone else but: Our room, the common area, and I assume all the other rooms on that floor were painted the previous day. In spite of the hotel telling us numerous times that the room was ventilated longer than the recommended time, and it was a special no smell paint, and us leaving the window open for more than an hour, we still developed headaches from the chemical smell within 10 minutes of being in the room. We asked if we could be relocated and they said they could not. We got a hotel room at a different hotel that night and came back the next day to see if the smell improved, and within 10 minutes or so the headache was back from the chemical smell. The hotel insisted the room was fine, and several staff check it and it was "fine." I'm sure our stay here would have been pleasant but this was the reality. We ended up booking with a different hotel for the rest of our stay in Barcelona.

Room was not perfect but reasonable based on the price. There was too much noise from the street despite the windows was closed all time and curtains too. Also neighbor rooms didn't respect too be quite after 11 even 12 am. Location was good with lots of high rate restaurants and bars.

Amazing stay, good cleaning service, nice location.

I accidentally booked a room without a balcony and when I tried to rectify this, I was told would have to pay for 2 bookings!

We stayed at Martinval for three nights( September 25,26,27), and overall it was just okay. The check-in staff was very nice and helpful. The building looks nice from the outside, but the inside could use some freshening up. The room had AC, internet, and a TV, but the TV wasn’t working. The beds were not very comfortable, with cheap-looking blankets, and one of the sheets had a brown mark. We didn’t bother mentioning it to the staff. For the price we paid, it didn’t feel worth it. On the positive side, the location and the neighbourhood were very nice.

Great location. Comfortable beds and a spacious bathroom. Also enjoyed the balcony.

We booked a 2 week Europe trip and you honestly never know what you’re getting. If you’re contemplating booking this place, do it. We loved our stay. It was so unbelievably hot out and the room was COLD, it was amazing. It was located in such a great location that we could come back for showers whenever we wanted. I truly recommend this place. We arrived late and we checked in at the sister hostal. This is nicer than most hotels. We loved the building it was in too. The cleaners and other guests were very friendly. We are Canadian and would’ve loved if other hotels on our trip were as located as central and were as clean as this one.

It was overall nice, but there was a small cockroach in our bathroom

The hotel is in a convenient location, and the staff were very helpful. The sheets and overall room cleanliness were excellent. However, the bathroom could use renovation—there were visible cracks and some dirt on the walls and bathroom door. Overall, it's a good place to stay for the price.

Ubicación excelente y limpieza todos los días. Buen detalle tener café y agua disponible

The staff was very nice and helpful

I liked the location and proximity to Metro, and having the shared facilities with fridge. Room though could do with a facelift.

We had a great stay for 3 nights. The room was spacious and suited our needs as a base to explore Barcelona from. Its location was excellent, and the room and facilities were spotless. Thanks so much!

The staff was really helpful. The room was cheap. The 24 hour desk was 2 blocks away on different street. The bed was mattress on frame, no box springs. Furniture was simple wooden plywood or thin wood. The cancelable up to was a fraud. 24 hours after booked got a notice that credit card charged 1/3 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. Then got notice that balance had to be paid in cash, no credit card. Would I stay again? No. Only staff made up for other short comings, poor quality.

Excellent location. Room is fine for just to sleep. Hop on hop off bus 10 min away.

Excellent location , easy walking distance to different highlights spots of gaudi . Supermarket next to it . Information provided to tourists is well rounded , will recommended to friends ..

Great place to stay! Clean room and ours had a balcony that we loved. Great location and very nice staff! Would stay here again

While communication went well as did check in; the room was horrible; not as shown. No air conditioning, lack of bedding. The entrance to the main building was filthy with the smell of sewer. It was not at all as pictured.

The service was outstanding! The service and the location make this hotel a great value. The property is older and doesn’t offer much other than the room (there was a small area where you can make your own nespresso, fill your water bottle, and use the microwave or a small fridge). Manual was the nicest and most charming host who went out of his way daily to help us. Often people really make the stay, and this was true at Martinval.
