Tiahna
Great stay at Hostal Mare Nostrum! The room and bathroom were clean, the staff were friendly, and the location was the highlight, right in the middle of La Rambla, making it easy to walk everywhere. It's perfect if you're after a clean, comfortable room in an unbeatable location.
Sara
We had booked three nights at this hotel. When we arrived in the room, it was as described, except that it was extremely hot inside because the staff wouldn't let us use the air conditioning without the room key inside. We stayed in the room for several hours with the key to activate the air conditioning, and the temperature still didn't drop. It must have been 35°C in the room. We reported the problem to the staff. We were with another family at reception complaining about the same issue: no cool air was coming from the vents. They moved us to a room on a lower floor to try and resolve the problem, but it didn't improve things. The family didn't want to stay, asked for a refund, and left late that night around 11 pm. We tried the room they offered us but had a terrible night. The next day, we found another hotel at the last minute (much more luxurious for less money) just a short walk away. The staff was always attentive and tried to help us, but their air conditioning was simply faulty. They seemed convinced it was working, I think to persuade us to stay. I simply believe that if you can't provide a proper air conditioner, don't mention it in the listing. We had spent more than our initial budget to get a room with air conditioning. It's dishonest to advertise it if you don't have it. If it was truly broken and normally works perfectly, these things happen, and we understand. But in this case, the staff never mentioned it.
Maiden
Major issue had here was the rooms albeit clean are tiny and the hotel is set on controlling the A/C. Apparently the owner is set on keeping the temperature in the hotel and rooms above 82 degrees or 28 degrees Celsius. Every day was above 95 f so after sweating all day we had to return to a hot room. The room thermostat is irrelevant. Look it up the hotel and government are required to maintain a warmer temp in common areas - but totally false for your 300- plus euro a nite room! Spoke to the front desk 2x no help.
jorge
La habitación pequeña pero muy bien proporcionados los espacios. La atención muy buena, el lugar muy central de todo, cerca al metro, a avenidas principales. Nos gustó mucho en general.
Raul
Helpful and friendly staff. Clean rooms. Very cold AC and hot water, a plus in the Barcelona summer heat.
Can't beat the location. At the heart of La Rambla. Walking distance to everything. Metro stop meters away from the hotel and plenty of shopping around. Recommended

Nick
Location was fantastic and Ivan was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our stay!
Kurt
The staff was very helpful. Access to activities very good. Rooms are small but not too much of an issue if you are spending your time exploring.
Kerry
The staff and breakfast were very good and the location amazing
Irene
Breakfast was ok. The same thing every day. The worst thing was the 24 stairs to the elevator. Got assistance on arrival, but had to lug our bags down on departure
Cecilia
Breakfast was excellent. Building dated.Need to walk up 4 flights of stairs to reception. Elevator started on that floor.. Room was small but clean. In a great location.
van
Perfect location.
Evan is very good staff. He is friendly, support me all what I need.

Helen
Brilliant location and good value for money. Friendly helpful staff. Rooms small but okay and a little noisy as near the room was near reception. Would recommend the hotel.
Wilfred
Conveniently located steps from the Liseau Metro station this compact little hotel gave us everything we needed with 24hr front desk, daily housekeeping and friendly service, especially Claudio who shared great tips to make the most of our two days in Barca. Everything in the room was small, the beds, the sink and especially the combo bathroom/shower which was the smallest I've ever seen but somehow it worked. We were fortunate to have an inside room, although it did not have a view, it was quieter at night despite the hotel's busy location. I appreciated the welcome email outlining where they were and what to expect.
Ruben
Very nice little hostal in the heart of Barcelona. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially Claudio. The breakfast was excellent and at a very reasonable price. The only downside was the size of the room. But it didn’t matter that much as you don’t really want to spend your time in a room when you’re in Barcelona
Jane
The Hostal itself is in a great location. You do have to climb several stairs before reaching the check-in area and before you get to the elevator that is also small. This is definitely for a one or two night stay…we did stay 4 nights. We chose this place because of its location and price…it was very expensive but it was cheaper than others.
We had a clean room, but very tiny. The staff was helpful and friendly. We only had breakfast on the last day and the area is too small to linger.

Christine
The room was very small and the bathroom even smaller, divided into 2 behind the bed with the shower one end and the vaity and toilet the other end. It was very noisy every night. No bottle of water, no kettle and we were told we would have to pay 10 euro for hot water for a cuppa using our own teabag! Permission for hot water given the 2nd day. A rose was put on the bed for Sants day which was lovely.
Richard
Location is the key. Perfect for solo traveler.
jena
Did not partake in breakfast but the coffee machine was wonderful! Did not use air conditioning beautiful weather opened patio door.
Phil
Location is the main reason to book here. I would reserve again. However the walls are paper thin and sound carries. The room is small but good value. Be aware la Rombla is under construction but not working at night. There is no safe in the room. They did allow us to store our bags as we arrived early. We did not have breakfast as it was continental type. There are choices near the hotel. Staff was friendly. Don't expect a fancy hotel room. Do expect a great location to tour from. Good value.
Anne-Marie
Great staff, clean room, very good value.
Hannah
Rooms are spotless and have everything you need. Great location. Breakfast is excellent value for money and rooms/breakfast room all well designed. Staff were excellent, particularly an Ivan who was so helpful and great humoured. We all said if we come back to Barcelona we’d book for here again! Fantastic!
Hector
Great staff
Maëlys

Ac not working and I got the worst allergies ever and I’m a super healthy person. The room felt dusty and smelly.

Svitlana

Alicia
Good stay.
Amir
The room was clean, and staff were very nice and helpful. Ivan who helped us with checking in was such a nice guy. He gave us lots of valuable information and made us feel very welcomed the moment we walked into the building.
Ronald
We did not eat breakfast at the hostal, but everything else was delightful. We were return there if we return to Barcelona.
Neil
Breakfast pastries excellent.
Richard
I'm judging this on a hotel scale, not a hostel scale. To say the rooms are tiny is an understatement. Cruise ship rooms are bigger. It's also not cheap. The area is under intense construction. There was a jack hammer going off at 7 am 10ft (4 meters) from my pillow! Having to carry our bags up 4 staircases to check in was something I could do without. Thank God we were only there 1 night!
Francis
Eco friendly sparse room with nice functional design that at the same time felt homey. Great for travelers focused on what’s outside the hotel. Friendly staff. Right on the Ramble by the Metro
Julia
Very nice room, washroom and shower were very clean
Robert
Booked online to stay here during a brief stopover in Barcelona, and boy did I luck out in terms of being right in the middle of the action! I walked everywhere I needed to go, and it is right above a metro station. Yes it was noisy on the street at night (and until dawn, really), and the street is all torn up out front, but the convenience for someone visiting the city for the first time made up for it. The room was good and the staff helpful when I needed them. The breakfast was just meh for 10€, but I’m an American used to eggs, pancakes, etc. Would definitely return.
Juan Pablo
Check in was easy, staff showed a lot of care and allowed us to store our bags until our room was ready. Ivan was great and helpful to show us the area around the hotel. Will definitely come back !
Rafael D
The property is in a very convenient position, close to the subway exit. The only inconvenience was the elevator starts in the first floor. The staff was friendly and very professional. Breakfast was delicious. Thank you.
Belinda
Great location, hotel not so great.
The location is great, just off Las Rambles. It was over priced for what it had to offer. The reception is not on ground level and you need to carry your bags up a few flights of stairs to get to reception. From there you are able to use a lift up to room. The room was extremely small. The bathroom was also small but the shower was in the same area with basin and toilet with no shower curtain. It was very small and at each shower everything got wet making floor slippery. The air conditioning was just OK but we weren’t there at the hottest time. There was no safe. The reception staff were helpful.
Colleen
Easy check in and clean! We forgot something in our room when we checked out and they were so helpful getting it returned. We are very grateful for such great service !
Amir
Very small room
Antonio
Not to our standard. You have to climb 25 steps with luggages before reaching the elevator. The room very small for 3 people no window looks like a storeroom and clostophobic and dusty under the bed.
Air conditioning very poor. Will not recommend to stay here. The staff are the only compliment we got.

Christi
The employees were very nice and helpful. The location was great. The room, however, was extremely small. Also, to get to the reception you need to climb stairs which is difficult with suitcases,
Jean
Great location, small room but functional. Friendly staff, basic but good breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.
Beth
Great friendly staff, enjoyed our stay!
Irvin
Nice place
Zelkys
Great place to stay if you’re in vacation
katie
Great location
The hotel is really nice, super location. I can see where the stairs could be a little tough for people, I had no issues with them, as it is just one flight to the front desk and then there was an elevator. The rooms are super tiny, but had everything we needed, bathroom was very nice. Could not have been happier with our choice to stay there
MARITES

Keeshia
Right at the heart of La Rambla, so pretty expensive for its value. You can hear the loud noise of Rambla streets until the crack of dawn. It takes a lot of time for taxis to come since the location is pretty tricky
Lili
Very good location, close to multiple attractions, right in front of subway. very small but ok and comfortable. Very friendly staff. Recommend it.
Cimbra
Superb location, lots of steps to be aware of. Friendly staff. Need to bring your own toiletries (only has towels, soap). Nothing beats the location, would stay here again.
Amanda
As expected room is small and simply furnished. Front desk was very helpful, location on La Rambla, and price reasonable for this room type
ATISH
They declined my web booking made on expedia
Jessica
Cozy
Carmen, the receptionist, was lovely, fun, and informative. The room was right on La Rambla and the only drawback was that pur beds were two separate twins. So hubs and I squeezed into one. ;)
Odalys Garcia Garcia
Good Customer service
Andrew
Great hotel, staff is friendly and helpful.
Luke
Very convienent place to stay
Mohammad
The only downside to this place is that they ask you to deposit the room key at the reception whenever you go outside. Although they might still have access to the room otherwise, it still creates a privacy concern.
Marilyn

This was too cramped for 3 teens and an adult. No kettle or fridge and we could hear the neighbours all night. Location and staff were fantastic but it is probably more suited to party people rather than families.

Ivan helped with the check-in, he is fabulous! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the sites. What an asset to this hotel! He even helped with our bags. The hotel was clean and nice. Breakfast was more than expected. Dining area was bright and customer friendly. Overall, I would book this hotel again.
Edgardo

I consider Hostel Mare Nostrum my home in Barcelona. The staff are always amazing and I love the location and how easy it is to get around.
Kashani
Great area. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Zoha
Small room, but given the location it was reasonable. The person at the front desk helped carry our suitcases up, and also when we checked out they carried them back down. Evan I think was there for our check in and was extremely welcoming. Gave us a rundown of the city and what is worth seeing. Great hospitality. Overall our stay was good~

Good service and the area is nice and clean. Walking distance to the beach and near to the airport. The only thing that I recommend to the owner is to have a better cleaning of the shower.
Meagan
Conveniently Located
The hostel is located directly off La Ramblas, making it very convenient to go out and explore the city, either by walking or by public transportation.
The private room was clean, but the shower and bathroom were quite small. The door to the bathroom was frosted glass, so privacy was a bit of an issue.

Jessica
6/10 INSANELY small, can barely fit 2 carry on suitcases and 2 people in the room.
The “bathroom” is a sink, toilet and shower in 1. When you shower, the water soaks the toilet and sink and anything in it.
The mattress is hard as a rock.
Great location, walkable to everything. Staff was nice and helpful

Lift your suitcases a spiral staircase!!!
Tiny room with tiny bathroom. Thin walls hearing other people in other rooms. This hotel is located on the 1st floor of a bldg which includes going up a 28 step (normally 14 steps/flr in US) winding cement staircase (see photos) to access from the G (ground) floor hall entry. It even includes in the Hotel Facility Accessibility Description: “Elevator” for handicap even including a wheel chair photo (impossible). All Guests are required to manually lift their own individual suitcases up a 28 step spiral cement staircase to get to their 1st floor Check In desk. If you are traveling with heavy luggages (ie: 50lbs each allowance for airline), you will be expected to walk up your suitcases to the 1st floor where a tiny elevator is located to get from Flr # 1-4. Their is no porter service (had to beg for assistance & offer $10 tip). While the hotel discloses that an elevator is available from the 1st floor. It does not disclose that there are 28 steps spiral stairs for the guest to climb up to get to the 1st floor. There are over 70 photos provided by the hotel to show their rooms & facilities. However, no photos of the stairs? They indicate that it is on the welcome email after you book a non-refundable room. I even complained on the \"welcome email\" which was sent via Hotel.com & never received a rsponse from the Hotel. This false advertisement of “Handicap” accessibility is illegal and should be flagged by Travel websites.
Colleen
This property is right on Las Ramblas. Our room faced the action! We had to leave at 3am for a flight and the staff made breakfast available for us even at that early time. Highly recommend!
Brian
This hostel is exactly as advertised. You need to walk up 2 flights of stairs. Desk staff were excellent. Room small but very clean and adequate. There was a slight smell coming from shower drain which is in close proximity to head of bed. Drain smell does seem to be an issue in Barcelona. The breakfast was fantastic. Lots of healthy choices and “goodies”.

Enjoyed a basic but perfect night at the Hostal Mare Nostrum. Location was perfect, staff were super friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and provided early for us due to our early check out.
Can’t beat it if you want a friendly, clean, no frills stay on Las Ramblas!

No elevator from ground level to first floor. So, you will need to carry your luggages up and down the stairs. We didn’t know this when we booked this hotel.

This hotel was perfectly located on the Ramblas but with high-quality windows and air conditioning, you hardly noticed the noise. We were impressed with the included breakfast, welcome offering, and eco-friendly approach as well as the humanitarian outreach of the hotel’s management. We would absolutely recommend it and would stay here again when in Barcelona.
