Hostal Barcelona

The hostel was great value for money, basic rooms but perfect for a long weekend with friends. Easy check in and check out. The staff were super friendly and so helpful. Rooms were cleaned everyday, plenty of towels, toilet paper soap ect. Was all very basic but we didn’t need anymore as we were out most of the day. Lovely communal area with lockers for after check out. Some cooking facilities microwave. Cutlery plates. Very very comfy beds. Very clean.

The room was quite clean, hotel has 24/7 reception, and vending machines are available for cold and hot drinks and snacks. The receptionists were very friendly and one of those - who had a couple night shifts during my stay - was super cute, but that is just my own opinion.

The accommodation is close to the Paral-lel metro station (at the end of the street), which provides easy access to about all of Barcelona's attractions. The D20 bus also leaves from the same location, which takes you to the beach. There is reception 24 hours a day, the staff are very friendly and speak English. There is also an elevator in the building. Overall, value for money, a very good choice.

Breakfast was more than adequate. WIFI only worked on the ground floor. The Air Conditioning was wonderful. Nice little store right around the corner and lots of tapas places very closely. The neighborhood looked a little scary when I arrived at night but improved a great deal in the day. Easy walk to the metro.

Cracking little hostel! We used it for an older school group and it was absolutely ideal. The rooms are really clean and neat and were cleaned each day. All rooms had ensuite, so the kids were contained. The single rooms were small, but perfectly adequate. There was little/no light in one room as the window opened onto the shaft/fire escape, but as were were out all day, this didn't matter in any way. The air conditioning was a wonder and we slept very well indeed. A really great buffet breakfast was also available for 6 euros, so a great little find! The hostel is also in a great area, with bars, restaurants and cafés running along the street and a great little supermarket just underneath it, which was open until midnight for late night drinks, snacks and other provisions!
