Terrible Stay, needed to change hotels on the first day. Was locked out of Hotel for several hours with other guests after check in due to their electronic lock failing. This was a known issue from multiple signs on the door saying the lock can get stuck. Property manager did not have a master key to get into hotel. We called the local police and said they cannot help us either. Access to medicine, passports and other personal items in the room was blocked until ~2am. The key to the upstairs bathroom somehow was not found as well. Suddenly the lock started to work again...very sketchy experience. Hotel refused refund claiming this issue was not their fault (just a tip: they should maintain their locks and have a mechanical master key for backup). Hotel also is refusing refund for multiple nights we didnt even stay there for. This hotel should be on a do not travel list from the US Embassy. Do not stay here!

10/10 recommend! We had the room with a terrace and it was lovely. Travelling with a 9 month old and was very infant friendly - the terrace allowed mom and dad to unwind with a glass of wine once she was asleep! Location was also super convenient to get to all the hot spots but wasn’t super busy or loud. Very impressed and would absolutely go back!

First the positives: a friendly staff, and an excellent location for Barcelona. But the negatives include a rather sterile room with thin walls (we could hear other lodgers in adjoining rooms), a somewhat shabby and cramped feeling overall to the lobby and hallways, and all of this was sadly underscored by the inner courtyard of the building, which itself was in poor condition. Early on Sunday morning we could hear a couple of drug addicts arguing who had camped out under the balcony of our room — a rather bleak (and disruptive) way of starting the day. For the price point, one can do much better for this area of town, even on a weekend.

It was quite easy to reach. Metro L1 is right next to it. The plaza Catalan is 3 bus stop away. Lots of restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. When we first arrived at the gate, we were a bit confused since there was no instruction on how to enter. Then I just pressed the ring button, the reception let us in. There were labels next to the elevator buttons. The rest is easy. The only complaint I have is the room door was a bit flimsy. You can hear anything in the hallway and from other rooms when a baby start to cry or someone raised voice. But we were so tired of walking the city, we fell in sleep quite easily.

Rooms just as shown in photos.Very clean. Little fridge was a bonus. Our room didn't overlook the main road so was quiet, but imagine those facing street could be noisy, as very busy road. Not far to walk to places. Great transport links. Decent cafes near if you don't want hotel breakfast. Don't be put off by first impressions when you arrive - you buzz for reception, then entrance is just a dark hallway - upstairs to reception. Luggage stored free if needed. Free wifi. Staff quiet but helpful when needed.

Except with one staff, it was not good customer service. It's a pain to get on the property. It has several codes to deal with.

Buena relación precio/calidad

Buena estancia. Habitación cómoda, la zona bien conectada por el metro que está a pocos pasos del hostal. Buen aire acondicionado, si bien no usamos la terraza se ve agradable y amplia. Hay ascensor que te lleva a la recepción, para llegar a tu habitación debes subir unos 3 o 6 escalones si estás en el primer nivel. El acceso y los pasillos son estrechos, las zonas comunes pequeñas. Pero la relación precio/calidad es buena considerando que Barcelona es una ciudad cara. A destacar la automatización para el acceso al hotel desde la calle, a la puerta interna y a tu habitación, todo se realiza a través de un app y resulta bastante cómodo.

Clean room

The room is what was expected for a Hostal. It as small but adequate and very clean.
The only barrier was language for us. The person at reception spoke some English but not very much. However, we were in Spain and not everyone there needs to speak our language. It’s our issue, not theirs.

Good hotel room without paying for hotel extras

This is one floor of a traditional residential property on a main street in Barcelona. The location is fantastic. Access is granted via an app so you need to have a reliable mobile phone with no battery issues and good bluetooth - take note! No physical keys are issued.
Staff were amazing - there is reception onsite most of the day and late into the evening, all speak English and will help you with everything.
The room is really big and bed is very comfortable - I had a massive terrace with mine. Rooms are cleaned daily. There is a comfortable desk for working. No fridge in the room. Shower and hand soap and shampoo provided.
The only negative point is that there is not much soundproofing - so you hear every noise in the hallway and they hear you - no feeling of privacy. Otherwise, no complaints. I would recommend this place to my friends who are traveling for work or just need a comfortable room without paying for the hotel extras - there is no bar, restaurant, pool, etc.

I will start with the positive - good location and only 15 minute walk to La Rambla. Lots of supermarkets, laundromat and even a cinema nearby.
The room itself was terrible. Mould in all the corners and in between the tiles in the bathroom. Dated and old and certainly not worth the $330 we paid per night. Whenever one of us showered the bathroom floor had water everywhere. The lady at reception was lovely and helpful but this is not worth the money we paid.

Spacious, Green and extremely well located

I was very pleasantly surprised by Hostal Live; check-in was a breeze though we had to download an app to open doors using bluetooth; very green - but yet another app on the phone and greater reliance on having the phone, battery and know-how. The receptionist at check-in was extremely friendly and pleasant though unfortunately handed over to a much more disinterested male colleague in the evening.
The size of the accommodation was very pleasing, with a comfortable bedroom, huge inward facing terrace and spacious bathroom; very unusual for Barcelona.
Unfortunately - and it is always hit-or-miss; the bed was not really very comfortable and felt like lying on the edge of a convex mattress - but then we all have differing needs for mattresses so it's pretty hard to criticise.
Overall a very good choice for the Eixample area with good Tapas and Breakfast bars less than a block away.
Recommended.

The rooms are small but very clean. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The only thing I didn't like was that big heart over the bed. But I didn't have to see it once I was in bed.

The property was very clean and the location was great. However, I had a very bad experience with the entering electronic devices which didn’t work well and I could not get in the property to sleep. I spent other money to get a room in a different location. Unfortunately, no one was answered my phone calls to give me any help.

Fantastic stay

This is my 2nd visit to hostal live. New app access is brilliant,no touching key pads all via the open app.

We did have one issue,I travelled with my good friend and had requested twin beds,ended up with a double. (We are close but not that close)

My friend ended up in a pull out bed and we were offered a free breakfast for the error. We did not go for the breakfast but it was a gesture of goodwill all the same.

Room had a fabulous terrace which is a plus point.

Staff are friendly and very helpful. I would definitely use hostal live again.

Property does not say hotel is in apartment complex. Hotel is located on the 2nd floor. Tenants were word and would just stair at you. Also, 2nd day there AC stopped working and the staff kept saying the maintenance was going to come tomorrow and it never came. They didn’t accommodate or give us another room. When we would come home at night there would be homeless hanging out in front of the building and they would try to come in. Over all I would not recommend this place at all.

Better than it looks

We loved the location here. Right in the middle of everything. This is an older building and you need to go up one floor for reception. We had a room with Patio and it was really just as you would expect for a 3 star place in an older part of town. All that said we would stay here again.

Overall nice place

I want to start off by saying this hotel is part of a larger building and the entrance is a little difficult to find from the street. Once we arrived we were greeted by a nice person at the front desk who showed us to our room (the entire place is very small). We were nervous at first that our room would be noisy but it ended up being very quiet. The room was great for the price and the cleaning lady did a wonderful job every day with cleaning our room. The only thing I wasn’t completely satisfied with was one of the front desk staff members, it might have been a language barrier but she was pretty rude every time we asked for help.

Great Location with an A+++ Front Desk Service.

Good Location. Breakfast is Ok, but Front Desk Service was an A+, all of them, the Men (don't remember his name), Paola, and Laura were very very helpfully. I had problems buying the train tickets to Madrid and Laura was SUPER nice looking for the best time-price and help me to bought it. Did the same with the tickets for Park Well, THANKS THANKS THANKS. You were awesome.

Hesitant but nicely surprised

Was a little hesitant to stay at a Hostel but was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome we received upon check-in and the super friendly and helpful staff (available 24 hours/day). It's located in a great location in barcelona - walking distance to most things. Metro or MyTaxi for the rest. Our room had one queen bed and it's own private bathroom with a spacious shower (no Tub). It had a small desk for my computer and a balcony with a table and two chairs and a lounge chair with Umbrella for shading during the hot part of the day. The room sparkling clean and modern. The breakfast served in the room for 4 Euros was basic (Croissant, Toast, Coffee, Juice) but always prompt and tasty. And there are usually free fresh pastries in the lobby in the morning. They provide fresh towels and room cleaning daily. It's on the second floor and there is an elevator which we used only when we had heavy luggage. Wifi, heating, cooling, hot water - all worked perfectly.

Great location but some improvements needed

The hostal is in an excellent location, 15 mins walk from Las Ramblas and 2 mins walk from the airport bus drop off point. Beds are comfortable and all reception staff friendly. We bought our bus tour tickets at reception which was slightly cheaper.

Some negatives; we'd booked a twin and were given a double - the beds were changed on the second night. The room smelled of stale smoke and just after we got there we had the door open while the receptionist checked for a twin and we were accused of smoking. We had a 1pm check out as a hotels.com perk (confirmed on arrival) but the receptionist knocked at 11.40 to check why we were still there. She apologised but after a very late night we'd have preferred the sleep!

These were fairly minor points and I'd still say stay there.

Good base in the city - close to most attractions

The senora on the front desk that Sunday morning was very helpful and accommodating (speaks good English if you don't know Spanish). We were helped store our heavy luggage prior to our check-in later in the day.

The room given us was large and airy (so it was so easy to arrange our 2 large suitcases on the Pergo-like floors) for the and airy with 2 smaller beds pushed together to make a single queen bed. The sheets were clean as was the entire room.

The bathroom was OK & clean with good hot & cold water pressure although the shower head with hose has no sliding height adjustment (fixed height) & is inconvenient for someone small. A safe is provided under the small closet.

There's a coffee machine near the front desk but it's 1 Euro per but an electric kettle was provided in the room - just make sure you bring some \"instant-stuff\" that needs hot water - noodles, coffee, tea, etc. - if you're on a tight budget.

To save power during the winter, most hotels in Barcelona including this (same with the first one we stayed in near Sagrada Familia) have their air-cons' ability to cool a room turned off --it's just the fans that's working.

We were assigned a room with a small balcony and had ample views of the Gran Via below and we did some people watching while having our drinks.

Many hotels to choose from when booking a place in Barcelona, but I'll have this place on top on my list.

We were a bit worried about Hostals but this place was very pleasing. You have your own bathroom, another bed for a 3rd traveler. The beds were a little rough but nevertheless doesn’t stop you from enjoying a good nights rest after a long walking day. The bathroom was the right size for what you need and you always have clean towels and made beds. The staff is there 24 hrs for what you need and the hotel is very secure with a door down stairs they give you a key to and a code in case you come back at late hours of the night. Will definitely recommend this place if you need a hotel in Barcelona.
