Pensión Galicia

Our stay started poorly—our room wasn’t ready and was extremely hot, though the owner moved us to another room with a fan. Everything looked clean at first, but that changed quickly. On our first night, I found a LARGE BED BUG on the bed after feeling bites. I took photos and contacted Expedia, who responded quickly, but there was no on-site staff to help. With no receptionists and no guarantee another room would be safe for BED BUGS, we requested a full refund and left that day as soon as the sun is up. Even before that, the stay was uncomfortable. Guests were very loud, bathrooms were cramped and poorly designed, and the shower required constant button pressing. The door locks felt flimsy, and someone even tried to open our room while we were inside. The bathroom wasn’t very clean, communication with the owner was poor, and the location was inconvenient—far from transit and with little nearby. Despite the low price, it’s not worth it. This was a stressful experience from the start. Save yourself the trouble and stay somewhere with better hygiene, security, and service. BEWARE OF BED BUGS or it will ruin your vacation. I got huge lump from the bites on my back and behind. So so dissatisfying to experience this. Other than the place being so far from the train station worst is BED BUGS.

Todo

Muy

There were too many issues and it causes too much stress and had to change our plans multiple times

The people were so nice owner on premise clean for the price it was worth it

The place was very clean and the owners was very friendly. The only thing I didn't like was the room was very hot, which we were not used too. We enjoyed our stay.

Speak no English.

Stayed one night. Very kind stuff. Clean room. For the price, it is a good place.

Not a safe area

Lovely welcoming people. You have to understand that anyone walks can walk through the door and I believe they try very hard to make them feel welcome. Wi-Fi good , there is staff member that speaks English however you should download a translation app as mostly speaking Spanish. One thing I disliked is bathroom outside of bedroom. Otherwise perfecto :)

Was cheap but its above a small cafe, in a very downmarket area with difficult to find parking and not a safe area, especially 4 any young women. Long way from barcelona too Room very basic but clean, v cheap firm matress and small shared showers.

Nothing

Hotel is not in Barcelona as listed.

It's a quiet area and a small city.

Very very clean, with excellent friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Thin walls, toilet shower situation not nice, no breakfast even though was paid for.

The address is not In Barcelona like it was said on the website very disappointing In that aspect and the rooms did not look as nice as in the picture but it wasn’t horrible looking if that makes sense it looked old but very very clean 15 min walk to the metro

It was terrible. The staff spoke no English but, were inferring when I come again to Spain to stay there. I never would. I had no privacy, on the days I wanted to hang around the area and stay in the room, I couldn’t without having the door opened on me several times by staff including the manager, once while I was sleeping in. There was no way for me to put a sign to not disturb and even when I said no service they insisted on barging in. The front check in man, Lesardo was very unwelcoming. He did his job but, I asked for check out on Saturday twice. He instead did not check me out and when I asked again what time it would be when I was leaving Saturday, he chose not to check me out. I asked the manager for a confirmation email that same Saturday morning when I gave back my key, they didn’t. I instead had to contact Expedia regarding this part of the situation in order to expedite them and even they are ignoring Expedia. There was no amenities, aside from a towel, two simple bottles of body wash and shampoo. No trash cans in the room, the walls are not sound proof as they advertise and my last night there, I had to listen to someone basically yelling his morning prayer which abruptly woke me at 4 AM when I already had to be up at 6AM. They charge you for water, even as a guest, no food stipon for their breakfast, no clean rooms, even they say no smoking but, the room wreaked of tobacco smoke from prior guest. It was all around a poor hotel. Never staying again.

the family and restaurant were nice. The pension is a 30min train ride or 83euro cab ride away from Barcelona Center--too far. I was disappointed that the family were not willing to refund even part of our payment, although we left after 2 of a paid-for 9 nights.

The owner was very nice and the hotel was clean and the amenities comfy
