Overall Ratings & Reviews Hostal River

This is a very well located, friendly, clean hostel. The prices are high for what it is, but that is Barcelona prices for you! Surprisingly quiet given its central location

A family tragedy had occured when the daughter of the couple that was booked for the room, had been tragically killed. Tried to cancel in thus extreme situation, but the property refused. I understand policy, but in this case it wasn't a normal situation, and no considerstion was given.

Noisy until 4am

Overall great for a few days of stay, but the water leaked through the wall and onto the room every time we showered. Other than that everything was great

Excellent location, just few minutes walk away from the busy La Rambla Boulevard & La Boqueria Market for food and shopping. Friendly staff, easy check in and out. Great value for the location, have a very homey feel.

An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again.

There is no elevator and our room is on the 4th floor. If you’re travelling with heavy luggage then this property is not for you.

A clean guesthouse in a good position just off the seaward end of La Rambla. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Even though I cannot speak Catalan or Spanish, and they did not speak English, we managed to understand each other!

Todo muy bien

Seul bon côté bien situé Pas d ascenseur 3e etage Difficile a trouvé Office 2e étage personne pour nous aider avec nos bagages

It is situated in a continent place, easy access to everything, the metro station is just around the end of the alley,and the staff are friendly, showed me the way to get around to the bus stop.

It was very close to liceu metro 2 minutes walk 2 minutes to the ramblas and shops kfc and mcdonald's was 5 minutes walk the ramblas was very safe plenty of police walking about

Room and washrooms were kept very clean. Shower had some issues with hot water cutting in and out

Amazing stay

We had a great stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The staff were very friendly from start to finish. The room was basic but great and very clean as was the toilet and shower. Stayed with my Son for a 3 night stay. Right in the centre at Liceu, close to everything. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend it.

Just Ok

It was supposed to be a not smoking hotel and the 3 nights we stayed people were smoking inside. I told the clerk but nothing really happened, the last night of our stayed we hardly sleep because of the noise and smoke

It was a great place to stay

Awesome location, clean, new, VERY accommodating. We arrived HOURS before check in. But as soon as the room was clean, we could ck in.
