Our stay was excellent overall. Our reception by Karen was top notch...every hotel would be lucky to have such a person receiving their guests. So friendly and helpful. The room was well designed and stocked, including a little fridge, though the room itself was a pretty small but not unusually so. Great location for restaurants and shopping and only a few minutes walk to the heart of the Gothic Quarter.

A magical find!!
What a wonderful find! Yes the rooms are small. But the place is magical. It feels like you are a treasured relation that your hostess wants to make sure your stay is perfect in all ways. A central location. A coffee machine and small refrigerator for your use in the break room. A total of eight rooms. You are given keys not only for your room but also for the huge ancient wooden exterior doors and glass doors in the building lobby. The entire hotel is located on the second floor, with elevator access.

Kimberly
Overall, had a lovely one night stay. The gentleman that received us (Brayko) was extraordinarily helpful, sweet, and interested in our experience (despite us being in a rush when we arrived). The bedding was comfortable, the towels were large and fluffy, there were bottles of water and chocolates waiting for us, the common area has nespresso pods and tea - a bunch of nice little touches. The location is convenient (we wanted somewhere close to the aerobus for getting to and from the airport).
A few points to note:
- when arriving, it is critical to communicate with reception because they will not be waiting for you unless you tell them when you'll be there (we learned this the hard way)
- we booked through hotels.com, but they did not receive confirmation of my payment (I had booked about 24h prior) and this created a little bit of check in drama

Property itself was very conveniently located for my needs. Price was good.
On the other hand, check-in on a Sunday morning (10am) was a bit of a mess. I was handed a wrong set of keys. I couldn’t enter the property when coming back in the afternoon at 2pm, when my room was ready. Nobody at the reception.
I contacted the property manager and I was asked to try the keys over and over again but they were totally wrong keys.
Luckily after a while somebody came out from the building and I was able to enter. Just when I was about to leave and book an other place to stay, a friendly person returned to reception and handed me the right set of keys.
I ended up missing one important meeting because of the key mess. Which I’m very sad about.
No actual apology or any sort of refund offered by the manager. They had a day off!
Place itself was still nice but make sure your keys work!! I’m sure my experience was just one off and bad luck. Hopefully it is not the way how the property operates.

We loved the Hostal. It’s a unique building, for he rooms were clean, and the staff was extremely accommodating. We arrived early so they stored our luggage and delivered it to our room when the room was ready. They also arranged a 3:45 am taxi pickup for us. Exceptional value for the price.

Great stay here. Quiet hotel on a side street. They let us leave our bags for the whole day after we checked out as we had a late flight. Very nice personnel
Verified traveler
Wonderful location, especially for visiting the Gaudí Casas! Very friendly and helpful staff (and superb with at least 4 languages: English, French, Catalan, and Spanish). Clean and bright! My ONLY complaint is because I have a fat butt and the toilet in my particular room was so close to the shower, I felt a bit cramped. But that was a minor inconvenience.

looks very old from the outside and a bit of an experience to find your way once in. But once you were there it was extremely clean and just another European experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Denisse
Very disappointed!!
The area around is great, but unfortunately I was extremely disappointed with the rooms and the hotel. Let me start by clarifying that this is not a hotel, but a motel. This was my fault because I did not read where it said Postal and not hotel On the name of this place. We were supposed to just be 3 of us in the motel, but last minute we added an extra persons so we called the motel and told us it was fine and they would just add an extra bed. They gave us 2 full beds and 2 extra extremely small beds. We barely had any room to walk and the bathroom was really small. I am still in shocked I stayed in a place like this.
Sejal
Definitely worth booking...!!
Service 5* - From booking to check in was a seamless journey. We were contacted by the Hostal as soon as it was confirmed to confirm the time of arrival and directions from our port of arrival, which was a great touch. Check in was quick and easy, and within 20mins, we were back out the door again. Jean at the reception was particularly helpful, offering useful tips on the more local things to do and see around the vicinity and marking them carefully onto our map.
Rooms 5* - The room itself was big – it was just my husband and I that stayed, but we got a room with a double and single bed. The room was very clean, and the bathroom was lovely. They provided toiletries and towels, which is always a plus. There’s a TV and free Wi-Fi. The windows are soundproof, so there was no sound coming through from the streets.
Facilities 4.5* - There is a common area with sofas, where there is a shared fridge (very clean), teas, coffee and fruit. You can also store luggage at the hostel.
Location 5* The location is fantastic! We walked everywhere, and within 20mins, you were in different locations around the hospital. Sagrada Familia, La Rambla, Passieg de Gracia are all minutes away. There are some great bars around the hostel, so if you want a night out, you don’t have to go too far. There are also some convenience stores around, as well as restaurants, and shops.
Overall 5* - Overall, a wonderful hotel in a great location. Recommend.

Beautiful, central location - Reserve now!
Hostal Barcelona Centro is AMAZING! This is NOT a traditional Hostal environment but more a boutique-type hotel for a few very fortunate guests. Clean - everything appeared new! The front desk staff was helpful, available and friendly. The hostal is centrally located and a short walk from the main bus station (the airport bus is VERY do-able)...We felt safe and it was a great location to start our vacation.

Great location and accommodate
Fabulous building in a very central part of Barcelona. We had a double bed room with en suite bathroom. There is air conditioning and a comfortable double bed. In the common lounge there is a coffee machine for 1Euro but you can borrow a kettle and there is a communal fridge freezer of you want to keep milk or drinks cool. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
Rafael
Great little hotel, great location!
It was exactly what we expected according to the reviews we had read. Location was great. Service was great. Paul was very attentive and helpful with all information we needed. Everything worked perfectly and you can’t ask for anything more for the money paid. Elevator was very small but worked great. The room was on the small side but we knew to expect that. Bathroom had a nice shower and there were plenty of towels. TV and WiFi were good. All in all,would recommend this little hostal if you want a nice clean place in the heart of the city without breaking the bank. Only unfortunate incident (and it had nothing to do with the hotel) is that the taxi they insisted on calling for us (not the one we requested) tried to charge us 7.20 Euros before we even took off from the front door. The driver alleged that they had to charge from the moment they left their base. We have travelled enough to know this was a ripoff so we didn’t take that taxi and hailed one at the corner without any problem. So beware！

Thank you very much, Hostal Barcelona Centro!
We totally enjoyed our stay at Hostal Barcelona Centro. It has a great location, clean rooms, and very helpful staff! After we checked out and left for the airport, my son found that he forgot his favorite toy at the room. We called the hostal, and they helped and shipped the toy to our home. We are very thankful for the kindness and help Hostal Barcelona Centro offered. We will stay there again if we travel to Barcelona in the future. Thank you very much, Hostal Barcelona Centro!

Great stay at Hostal Barcelona Centro
Our first experience with staying at a hostal. This one exceeded expectations. We had a room with private washroom. It was like staying at a hotel! Clean and quiet location but yet close to site including the wonderful Sagrada Familia. Front desk staff were helpful in recommending restaurants and helped print out our boarding passes for us the night before we departed. Thanks for a nice stay in Barcelona!

Amazing place to visit and amazing staff! We were contacted via email about the best ways to reach for hostal a week before arrival, made it very easy to find with their directions. We were then welcomed and explained through a map of Barcelona and the best places to see and stay. The whole experience was tremendous! We will be back to visit and no doubt stay back for Hostal Barcelona Centro! Thank you very much

Fantastic Stay!
I cannot recommend this hotel enough, it is fantastic! The gentleman who checked us in was the most hospitable host one could hope for and we felt that he genuinely cared about our comfort and enjoyment of his beautiful city. Our room was nice and quiet, overlooking a large central courtyard not used at night and the beds were very comfortable. This location is fantastic, you are in the city center, near the transportation hubs connecting you to the airport shuttle as well as city metro. Tourist sights are just minutes away but it is off the main street so you can still find phenomenal local restaurants and cafes!
Verified traveler
Close to the main shopping area and transportation
Excellent help from the hotel staff. Clean, modern and comfortable accommodations, only five minute walk from the main boulevard. Albeight small but typical example of European hostels. Cecile went out of her way to contact me and express mail a cosmetic kit with my medications that I left in the bathroom and I received on my next stop on my itinerary. I recommend this hotel and would stay again.
Janis
Small room, unbelievable location!
Ok. Let's get over the fact that this is Europe and unless you are paying a fortune , the rooms will be small, really small by US standard. The shower was probably the smallest shower I have ever been in! BUT. This is clean and comfortable and quiet. It is in the best location. Just in the main shopping street in Barcelona, think NY 5th Ave.It is also near all the sights and great for tours, walking, get the metro etc.
The receptionist was really helpful, he recommended a great place for chocolate and Churros..2euros!we also booked tickets to see Sagrid familia and through the hotel avoided lines and booking fees. A great little place right near to all the action in Barcelona.

Although just outside the more in-demand area of the Gothic quarter, the Hostal Barcelona Centro is still close enough without the heavy premium to be a great base for all the main Barcelona attractions. Friendly helpful staff, clean rooms and a beautiful building. Highly recommended for a stay.

Great location- comfortable stay
We stayed for one week in September 2015. The staff spoke English, which was a help. The location is excellent: just a few blocks to Casa Batllo and the metro and lots of great open-air restaurants. The room and bed were comfortable and the room was cleaned very well each day. There was noise during the day from construction on the floor below (NOT the fault of the Hostal), but things were nice and quiet at night.

Great stay in a great location.
Spent two nights in Barcelona following a cruise. The hostel was in an ideal location for restaurants, shops and attractions. There was a great place across the road for breakfast. The room was very functional and the bed was comfortable. The young man on reception was extremely helpful throughout our stay. We will definitely book this place when we visit Barcelona again.

Close to everything
Helpful and pleasant staff. Equidistant to La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia and the Rambles. Quiet, small but comfortable rooms. Reasonable price. Across the street from a breakfast restaurant.

good accommodation for night stay
hotel was very clean and was in centre of barcelona and easy access to metro.
Would recommend that this is good for visitors who is looking for full outdoor trip during day and stay in hotel at night to rest.

Great hotel
The hotel is a hidden gem in Barcelona. Located in just under 2mins walk to metro, it can get noisy if assigned to a street front room. But the owner relocated us to another rooms which was appreciated. The reception was nice and helpful. The wifi was really fast all the time. I would definitely come back.

Best location
Its near to aerobus stop if you come from the airport. Walking distance to barcelona cathedral, gothic area, ramblas, casa milo, casa battlo. But u need to take metro to Sagrada familie, park guel, etc, but no problem as these attractions are so near and accessible. Its near to fast food like Subways, Mcdons, Pan & Co, etc.

Great location - close to Las Ramblas
If you are staying here, do not expect a 5 star hotel experience, however the accommodations were clean and comfortable while the staff was extraordinarily helpful and kind. I was having trouble with the key and was worried about staying out late. The hotel owner told me not to worry and that if I had any problem, even if it was very late, that he lived 5 minutes away and would come over to help if there was a problem. Imagine that! The location was perfect and within walking distance of all sites and/or modes of public transportation. The owner arranged a taxi for me to take me to the airport b/c I was leaving at 4am, but if you are traveling during more normal hours, the bus to the airport is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Barcelona, you just have to remember this is a local place and not a big 5 star chain hotel. As a bonus, there is an elevator if you have heavy bags.

Good but
'Hostal Barcelona Centro' isn't a hotel and really isn't a hostel although it is quite central if you like walking. It is a series of bedrooms and one lounge in half of the first floor of a large building. It is difficult to find unless you take notice of the specific number of the building rather than looking for a hotel/hostel entrance and spotting the name amongst the list of other occupants on the right hand side of the main door. The staff are lovely (especially the very helpful young French woman on the desk) and the room comfortable and clean. The building is on a busy road but then Barcelona is a very busy place. The area has lots of restaurants and not far from a metro.

Amazing place, right in the centre of Barcelona
We chose to visit Barcelona this year and so checked the web for some decent hotels/hostals right in the centre of the city, so that we were close to all the landmarks and nightlife. I can say confidently this was one of the best places I've stayed abroad. The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful, with good English, and the place was spotless.
It was a light, airy room with 3 beds and an en suite. We slept very well as the surroundings were quiet and away from the traffic. The balconet backed onto a courtyard facing an old people's respite home over the way, which meant there was no bother with noise or parties lasting into the small hours!
Of course the best feature by far about this hostal was the fact that the Plaça de Catalunya and the heart of Barcelona were literally 5 minutes' walk away. With supermarkets nearby and a pharmacy up the street there's everything and more you could need right on your doorstep, perfect for exploring the city on foot.
I would fully recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona for the first time like us or for those returning again.

Great location, unbeatable price
Stayed one night with wife and young son as we were touring Catalunya & Valencia region. Loved this hotel, Carmen at check-in was very friendly and we were given a suite with balcony for €80! Location is great, right next to a little plaza with a fountain and bars/restaurants and just one block from town hall square. Will definitely stay here again, no question. Very clean and modern with top service.

Clean, Comfortable, Helpful Staff, Close to sights
Updated and clean accomodations with air conditioning. Well located, walking distance to downtown and subway stations. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful in providing tips and information about attractions and the city. Great value.

2nd visit better than the first :)
This is the second time I've stayed here. The first time I found it a little noisy but I was by the elevator, so make sure you request a more isolated room as the walls are a little thin. This time we only heard a screaming baby (but I think that's unavoidable at any hotel). Beds were comfy, room was clean, nice new bathroom and friendly staff.

nice stay
I only wish they had more electrical outlets in the room. They had only one in the room and one in the bathroom.

The staff are amazing!
Awesome place. Central, comfortable, quiet. The best part was definitely the staff. All so friendly and accommodating. Lovely people always willing to help us out with all we needed! Next time I'm in Barcelona, I'll be staying here!
