A great hostal

I enjoyed my time at this hostal. Friendly and helpful reception, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, no street noise and effective air conditioning. The location was great for exploring Barcelona - close to metro and bus stops.

Hotel bien situado, barato pero lamentablemente muy ruidoso. Tanto el ruido de las cañerías, como las puertas hacían mucho ruido. Para pasar una noche es pasable. La atención de la recepción fue buena y agradable.
