In an excellent location half way along La Rambla in the heart of Barcelona. Lots of places to eat very close by. The hostal is directly opposite the underground station Liceu so very easy to get around.
The room was a little tired looking but very clean and the bathroom had everything you need.
There is a small lift but it doesn’t go all the way to ground level.

The location is first class. Just at the center of the Ramblas, across the Mercer de la Boqueria. Still the rooms are noise free. My room was small but had all the essentials. Bathroom was very clean and the staff was friendly.

This is a great place! Very convenient, right on the Rambla and across the street from the oldest market in Barcelona! In the heart of the Gothic area -- restaurants, cafes, shopping and attractions are all around. Close to the Barcelona Cathedral. We walked everywhere including Parc Guell and Monjuic. The staff was very pleasant and professional. Our room was spacious, clean, lots of lights, and we liked the colored lights in the bathroom! There is an elevator, but we didn't use it, choosing to go up and down the stairway.

I had to book this hotel very last minute because my flight was canceled. Overall, the stay was okay, the rooms were decent and clean. However, the Wi-Fi didn’t work on the first day due to technical issues, which was inconvenient. The biggest problem was the air conditioning in the bedroom: it was extremely noisy, especially when the fan was on the highest setting, and it often made it hard to fall asleep. For a short stay, it’s manageable, but if you’re not expecting to be stuck there, it’s not the most comfortable option.

This place is not how it looks like in the pictures, however, the staff are super nice. There is a lot of noise from outside because it’s right in front of the popular areas. The place is not bad but it’s in a complex where it’s shared with other tenants if that makes sense. The room that I got was nice and clean so was the restroom very modern looking.
I would definitely recommend this place if you’re just staying a couple of nights and seeking just a quick place to crash. But if you’re looking into staying in and enjoying the view with breakfast etc this is not it. There is absolutely no parking nearby. I used taxis

don’t usually leave negative reviews, but my experience at Hostal BCN Ramblas was truly disappointing and misleading from start to finish. The room looked nothing like the photos dark, outdated, and not what was advertise. The bathroom had see-through glass walls, which made privacy impossible. The Wi-Fi barely worked, and to top it off, the receptionist was rude and unwelcoming at check-in. The location is good, but that’s the only real positive. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Small and no hot water

The location is right infront La Borqueria and metro which was great, BUT the hotel its self was not. The elevator was super small, only 1 person and a small luggage/backpack can fit. The stairs are so narrow and you need to climb a few flights of stairs up to the entrance. There was no hot water to shower in the mornings. Heard a lot of people in the hallway complain about it from my room, so the rooms are not soundproof.

Perfectly adequate property, centrally located on La Rambla with good public transport links. Accommodation is small but ok, it’s no frills but perfectly useable - not somewhere you’d spend hours chilling in your room but there is lots to see and do in the city which is no problem. Access is via a narrow staircase or a single person lift to the second floor. Staff are polite and helpful with any requests. Could be a bit noisy in the middle of the night as some of the younger occupants returned from their nights out

The location of the hotel is great…and cleanliness of the room can’t be faulted. BUT it is a small, low class hotel and our room was literally next to reception so you can hear everything going on there at all hours.
There are no frills at all. But if you want to be close to the market or la Rambla then it’s perfect!!

First of all… the elevator they have is to small is just for one person, which means you need to put your bags first to the floor you go and then call the elevator for your self, the guy wasn’t helping at all to you to instruct you about the use of elevator or your room locations, the room has some walls whit big cracks, the courtains on the window they didn’t cover all the way so you have the light on your room, the person in charge to clean the room next day didn’t cleaning it at all not even the bathroom, I ask for a hot of cup water to the front person and they said they don’t have it but they have a microwave, when I told him that he said you can use it if you want, I ask him for a cup and he says here it is is duty you have to wash it.. so honestly cero service.

Location location location.
This property on La Rambla is the main reason we decided to stay here. It is right across the metro stops and Gothic quarters and other major sites to see are all walkable.

We were warned to be aware of pick pocketers on the street but luckily we did not have any mishappenings.

The property itself is very very basic. The room was ok, paint chipping off and one thing that we did not like was the bathroom did not have a lock/ had sliding door. Also the exhaust in the bathroom did not work properly. If one person is using the bathroom, it is better the other room occupants should stay out!

Perfect location

Perfect location. We’re at the middle of everything. Few steps from the hotel is metro. Opposite the hotel is buqueria market, very accessible wherever you go. The only downside is the lift that only one person can fit into it. Inside the room, the bathroom door is squeky, we lift it to open or close to avoid that noise. It smells maybe coming from the drainage. The faucet are rusty but it’s working fine anyway. The staff in reception is really nice, sorted straight away the ripped wall paper. They clean the room everyday and they changed the towel everyday as well.

Great stay!!!

This apartment is good for short stay were you only use it for sleeping and the whole day you are out roaming around Barcelona. It’s only infront of the famous market in La Rambla area and you can walk towards Plaza Catalunya, Casa Batillo, La Pedrera, Port of Barcelona and a lot more if you will just follow the map with planned itinerary. Everything you need is walking distance like restaurants, shopping, market, etc. The price is just ok for the 4 of us. The only thing that is not really working well of the lift and only 1 person can go in because its so tiny and we ended up always climbing the stairs and its very tiring from having a long walks touring around Barcelona. But if you are fuzzy and wants a very comfortable bed, this place might not suit you. For us its ok because we are just using it mainly to have a good rest and sleep. We ride the taxi on our way back to the airport and we paid €38. The bus fare cost €5.75 each and will drop you to Plaza Catalunya and from there its just a short walking distance to the apartment. We will definitely go back again and choose this place if available.

I read previous reviews and noticed mostly all complaints were unjustified. There is an elevator to use all the way up- so there's no need to have to go up all the stairs (as this hotel is on midfloor of apt bldg). Only reason I couldn't give excellent on room was due to line being a little eh... but overall the cleanliness was great!!

Good air conditioning and plenty of hot water. There are fridges to use if need to keep a few things chilled, there wasn't a system to it so it looked like there were a few bits and pieces left in there by previous guests that hadn't been thrown out.

Nice Hostal well located along the ramblas

We had a great time in Barcelona and found the location of this hostal to be perfect to easily get to most of the attractions including a short stroll to the sea front. There are plenty of restaurants right on your doorstep and of course the famous market right across the street. We stayed in a room at the back of the hostal and it was very quiet at night other than hearing water running through the pipes (not a moan).

Location Cannot be Beat

The hostel is in a perfect location - centrally located on La Ramblas. There is a teeny-tiny elevator to bring bags up to the hostel location, but you must first carry up bags a few stairs before accessing the elevator. Room was clean and comfortable. No frill place - but exactly what we expected. Room prices are fair - but not a \"bargain\" hostel rate. There is another hostel/hotel (Atlas) around the corner owned by the same Indian family, and is comparable if Hostel BCN Ramblas is sold-out. Also, they kindly held our luggage on the day of our departure for our late-day flight.
