Staff:
We recently stayed at Hostal Nova in Barcelona and unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the front desk staff.

When we arrived, we had six heavy suitcases with us. We were unable to access the elevator to reach the first floor where the accommodation is located. Thinking we might have pressed the wrong button, we went up to reception first to inform them that the elevator was not working and to ask for assistance.

Instead of being met with understanding or help, we were told rather bluntly, “It’s not my problem if the elevator is not working. I’m not a technician. I cannot do anything.” The tone felt dismissive and unfriendly.

We understand that reception staff are not responsible for fixing elevators. However, we expected a more customer-service-oriented response — perhaps empathy, guidance, or even a simple apology for the inconvenience.

Hospitality begins with how guests are treated, especially upon arrival. Unfortunately, this interaction made us feel unwelcome.

Room: Clean and comfortable. Ample electrical outlets to use. Shampoo, blankets, towels provided.

Check in was extremely confusing and difficult. You had to call a number for check in. We talked to a gentleman with very limited understandable English. It was extremely stressful. There were others trying to check in at the same time with the same issue. Finally another guest who had already gone through it helped us a bit. There was no one the next morning available to pay our local taxes to. We had an early train and no staff was at the property yet.

Not 5 mins from Sants Train station.

Easy to check in. Easy enough to find the area but the actual entrace less obvious. Good coffee in \"kitchen\". My only dissapointment was location. A 25 min walk from Sant Train Station rather than the misleading 5 min adertised walk which is to a local metro station that was not very useful.

It quite a way out of town. There are shops and places to eat nearby. The accommodation was ver quiet.

We slept well. Very clean and neat. Towels changed daily.

It was easy to get in (even after the desk stops being staffed), well light and clean. Great location. The pillows were like bolsters for couches, so way too thick for heads. The bed were decidedly mediocre. The shower too small for anyone beyond average height or weight - and impossible to turn on without being inside unless you soak the floor. It was fine for what it was, but nothing to rave about.

Enough for solo travellers

The hostel is located close to public transport which makes it easy to move or walk
The room is small, no windows that allow sun into the room
But the room was clean and tidy, enough for a solo travellers who don't like to sleep in bunk beds or shared rooms. The price was okay, not cheap
There is a coffee machine, and a kettle in a shared room, and there is no place for smoking.
Around the hostel you could find small shops and if you walk a bit there are restaurants
Overall my experience was okay compared to other places in Barcelona

You need to be able to call the hotel if you're checking in after 2pm, since there is no one at the lobby wich is not on the main floor and seperated by 3 closed doors that can only be opened with a code, which the hotel doesn't provide in advance, or with a Fob. Otherwise good location and room was clean.

This hostal is at the end of bus 115 which connects it to the train station.. it's also very close to a metro station on line 1 but it needs a transfer to train station. It's in a residential neighborhood and has all your needs taken care of. The place is in clean and tidy although some hardware like shower head and dripping toilet can use some repairs. The only thing is the street noise, cars, people talking etc.

Not beds. Supposed to have 24 service. Not true. If you left building had to buzz to get in as hostel is on second floor. At times buzzed for 10 mins before someone let us in. Also most important never felt it was fire safe no extra exit to get out in case of fire. No fire plan posted.

The location of this hotel is in the boundary between 2 cities: Barcelona and Hospitale(?). But it is in Zone 1 of Metro system. 10 min walking from nearest Metro.
The worst thing is the condition of bathroom. Not enough air-ventilation.
Weird smell inside the room.

Ate a hora de ir embora so tinha coisas boas para falar, chuveiro, cama, acesso, limpeza, tudo ótimo, localização também, bem perto de Montjuic e muito perto de metro, facil ir p qq lugar. Porém, na hora de ir embora, um detalhe fez cair um pouquinho no meu conceito. Todo hotel em lugar turístico está preparado para guardar malas dos hospedes ate horário do CHEK-IN ou um pouco apos do check-out poos é comum esses horários nao coincidirem com horário dos voos. Porém na hora de sair fomos surpreendidos que so poderia deixar ate as 15h mas até aí tudo bem, mas alem disso ainda cobraram 1 euro por volume, ate as sacolas de plástico que estavam com alguns lanches eles contaram, ate minha bota que estava ao lado da mala, contou como um volume. Só acho que isso é uma coisa simples para manter o bom atendimento e atender as necessidades dos seus hóspedes.
