This was the worst experience in my entire stay in Spain. Right before check in I was told to bring cash only to cover the remaining costs. They do not have a lobby receptionist so I had to go to a neighboring hotel to then figure my way in . To a non garden view room
With no windows and a very underwhelming room that looked nothing like any of the pictures. Spoke to the reservation specialist which then was not helpful at all when asked for a refund of the remainder of nights .

Air conditioning is really nice. Cool enough while sleeping. Staff are so kind and helpful. Location of the hostel is good. Just an interested thing that, don’t know why every 9ish, someone knocked our door. As we stay three nights, two morning we’re waked by the knocking sound which were not the check out day.

I am a very non-picky person, and it is extremely rare for me to leave a negative review. This probably won't affect anyone else but: Our room, the common area, and I assume all the other rooms on that floor were painted the previous day. In spite of the hotel telling us numerous times that the room was ventilated longer than the recommended time, and it was a special no smell paint, and us leaving the window open for more than an hour, we still developed headaches from the chemical smell within 10 minutes of being in the room. We asked if we could be relocated and they said they could not. We got a hotel room at a different hotel that night and came back the next day to see if the smell improved, and within 10 minutes or so the headache was back from the chemical smell. The hotel insisted the room was fine, and several staff check it and it was \"fine.\" I'm sure our stay here would have been pleasant but this was the reality. We ended up booking with a different hotel for the rest of our stay in Barcelona.

We stayed at Martinval for three nights( September 25,26,27), and overall it was just okay. The check-in staff was very nice and helpful. The building looks nice from the outside, but the inside could use some freshening up. The room had AC, internet, and a TV, but the TV wasn’t working. The beds were not very comfortable, with cheap-looking blankets, and one of the sheets had a brown mark. We didn’t bother mentioning it to the staff. For the price we paid, it didn’t feel worth it. On the positive side, the location and the neighbourhood were very nice.

We booked a 2 week Europe trip and you honestly never know what you’re getting. If you’re contemplating booking this place, do it. We loved our stay. It was so unbelievably hot out and the room was COLD, it was amazing. It was located in such a great location that we could come back for showers whenever we wanted. I truly recommend this place. We arrived late and we checked in at the sister hostal. This is nicer than most hotels. We loved the building it was in too. The cleaners and other guests were very friendly. We are Canadian and would’ve loved if other hotels on our trip were as located as central and were as clean as this one.

The staff was really helpful. The room was cheap. The 24 hour desk was 2 blocks away on different street. The bed was mattress on frame, no box springs. Furniture was simple wooden plywood or thin wood. The cancelable up to was a fraud. 24 hours after booked got a notice that credit card charged 1/3 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. Then got notice that balance had to be paid in cash, no credit card. Would I stay again? No. Only staff made up for other short comings, poor quality.

The service was outstanding! The service and the location make this hotel a great value. The property is older and doesn’t offer much other than the room (there was a small area where you can make your own nespresso, fill your water bottle, and use the microwave or a small fridge). Manual was the nicest and most charming host who went out of his way daily to help us. Often people really make the stay, and this was true at Martinval.

This hotel does not have air conditioning in each room. It was 27 degrees in our room and we had no choice to stay at another hotel. They claim that they are not allowed to provide air conditioning colder than 27 degrees because of a Spanish law. However, the law only applies to public spaces and does not cover hotelrooms. Indeed, I was able to find another hotel in Barcelona that had air conditioning and we were able to have a temperature colder than 27 degrees. Despite using a deceiptful listing to attract bookings, they did not refund our stay.

So overpriced!

This place is soooo overpriced for what they offer, that it felt almost like a scam. For 147 Euros, it felt like staying in a youth hostel. We asked for a double bed and they had 4 small single beds scattered around the bedroom., The terrace was not a terrace but an exit to an indoor patio. Wifi did not work, there was no-one to complain as the front desk closed at 3pm (yes, 3pm!). The toilet was loose, we could listen to our next door neighbors as if they were in our room.

It has a great location, but one of the staff was so rude, he know our door after we get back from having a nice time, and this being a hostal you never expect to be people winning about sound of people talking not even laud just talking in our room he came to make us quit. So after he left get walk to his office and he lay to us saying that there’s a curfew, and that we can’t talk after 10pm because the walls are very thin, he started to scream to us and told us that he paid little money and we need to fallow his rule and that hi is the owner, he is not. Overalls the room was nice, we got the private room with bathroom so that was cool, for a hostel. But sincerely I will never stay there again.

Unreliable elevator.

I was put on the 6th floor of the building without a reliable elevator. The elevator is manual and requires each person that uses it to shut all 3 doors perfectly.... the staff and other hotel guests failed to do so almost every time. I had to walk 6 stories each time (including with my luggage). The manual elevator doors themselves were off the hinges in places. Worst hotel I have ever stayed in.

asic facilities but very clean.

As a mum travelling to Barcelona with 2 x13 yr old daughters this was a great 2 star place to stay. On the 1st floor we had a triple room with a small balcony overlooking the street. Good transport links all within10 minx walk and some good coffe shops for breakfast and bars for evening meals. A very small reception are has a hot and cold water machine freely available. The rooms were basic but were kept very clean by housekeeping and towels regularly changed. Basic and functional but also very good value for money.
Only negative is that as balcony overlooks the street it was noisy in the morning from 7am.

Very cheap hotel

The hotel is close from downtown Barcelona, but is a very cheap hotel. they don't have even a garbage bin in the room.

Good and bad

Excellent location between the Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera. Loved the balcony. However, we had trouble sleeping because of thin walls and an uncomfortable bed. Note that the temperature is controlled by the hotel, there are no temperature controls in the room.

Great family apartment

We booked the apartment which was very big for our family of 5. Great location close to the train and major attractions of La sagrada familia and Casa Battlo. Staff were very helpful on arrival. A great stay

Well located and adequate

Hotel is adequate for a short stay where you won't use the hotel itself much. It is no thrills but location is pretty handy.

Nice stay at Hostal Martinval

We enjoyed our two night stay at Hostal Martinval. We had a room with private bath, which was clean and fit our purposes. The staff were especially welcoming and helpful with recommendations for where to eat and directions to places of interest. We would stay with them again if we return to Barcelona.

Would definitely return

Hostal Martinval was a real find. Interesting old building with fabulous antique lift, but modern and comfortable interiors. Friendly reception staff. Easy to get around on foot and by bus, although a little walk from the metro.

Good value, clean, friendly & great location

Budget en suite room was clean and the bed was comfortable and although basic it provided all we needed for a two day stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful and this is a great location from which to visit the many must see places in Barcelona. Occasional noise from the plumbing but as we had an internal room with windows onto a light well traffic noise was not a problem and we slept well. Great value, recommended!

Basic accomodations. You get what you pay for.

This little Hostel was adequate for an inexpensive way to stay in Barcelona. That said, it is a bare bones place, ancient tiny elevator,,air conditioning was controlled by front desk, and our room was always too warm. Bathroom was in poor shape, toilet paper holder hanging, faucet was detached and kind of floating in its hole. No counter space or shelf or even a hook to work with. The room was noisy from the street traffic and thin walls. A basic place to sleep and store your things.

Huge disappointment

Really disappointing. Didn't know we had a shared bathroom until arriving. Pictures were misleading. Front desk kept pushing sales and tours. Bathrooms didn't lock or vent well. Walls were thin. All around very disappointing. Can't believe hotels.com even allowed this place on their site.

Lovely for a short stay

Staff were very friendly and the room was great, especially the comfy bed. The only problem was that our room was too hot. Either the air-conditioning doesn't work very well or it was broken in our room.
The location of the hotel is very handy for sightseeing, and there are lots of bakeries and supermarkets nearby.

superb budget hotel

The staff were so helpful and informative. The room was very clean and, being at the back of the hotel, very quiet. The building is a beautiful period property, full of period features. We would not hesitate but to book it again and have recommended it to friends already.

OK for a 2 star hotel

Stayed in a triple room which had just enough space for a double bed and single bed. Clean room but possibly too clean - the smell of bleach permeated the entire small unit. Lift was very old, only fit two people and luggage. Convenient location for visiting tourist attractions and not too far from the metro/bus. Neighbourhood was relatively quiet but this also meant that there weren't many restaurants, cafes etc nearby.

long weekend stay

we booked a room with a view for 3 people for 4 days at a very reasonable price. the view was an understatement and the staff were very friendly, even contacting us when one of us had left their passport behind. only slight complaint was that it was shared bathroom facilities but overall a great stay!
