Barcelona Pousadas

Prós: For what i pay, it couldn´t be better. Excelent staff and location

Prós: Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel to anybody.

Contras: Breakfast was non-existent. At 7.05 no coffee, no juice. Room not cleaned properly from previous guests. Air-conditioning loud and not working properly.

Prós: Comfortable bed and pillow. Good, central location. Close to transportation

Contras: Tight-fitting room. Scuffed walks in need if painting.

Prós: Great location we were able to go to all Barcelona attractions by metro or walk. Lots of restaurants with great food near by. Very friendly neighborhood as well. Only no AC.

Contras: Older facilities

Prós: Shops and restaurants next to the hotel. There is everyday a clean towel.

Contras: Breakfast was basic. The same everyday. Unfortunately the whole street is full of restaurants an bars and people drink and scream there till 2 a.m. and the windows don't help to make it less loud. Our window was broken (no handle, has to be open all the time and when we tell the receptionist they didn't do anything). The floor was dirty and the bathroom also with some tube on one side with dropping water from neighbours upstairs. No place to stay for a week or more but it's suficient when you just go to sleep to your room and you stay up to 4 days.

Prós: The location,the staff,everything!

Prós: Nice location. A/C worked and was quiet.

Contras: The room was rather tired. Can't open the room door if the sliding bathroom door is closed as it was (door was hitting on bathroom door handle).

Prós: Good localization, very close to subway, helpful staff, no problems with checking in/ out, payless suitcase keeping after checking out. Room daily cleaned.

Prós: Breakfast was basic, but good. the staff was very very very friendly and helpfull location, nearby metro and finucular great stay! (watch out for pickpocket in Barcelona)

Prós: The location was great for attractions and there was a metro close by. The room was lovely and comfy.

Prós: Very central

Contras: Noisy area and my husband lost his wallet in one of the shops on the first day

Prós: The bed was very comfortable. However the pillows were very hard and very big which resulted in my neck being stiff.

Contras: The pillows too spongy and too hard. One could not use the shower as the hose would not stay on holder. The stopper in the hand basin would not seal hence the water couldn’t stay in basin in order to shave. The jets didn’t work yet the bath was described as a spa bath. No drawers to store clothes etc etc.

Prós: I did like the location of the hotel. It was close to the train and close to a lot of restaurants and bars.

Contras: It was noisy at some part of the hotel. I think there is construction happening next door and you were able to hear it in the mornings.

Prós: Clean

Contras: Amenities

Prós: Staff, room, coffee free, parking free.

Prós: Bed and pillows super comfy. Excellent shower. Plenty of electric wall plugs. Cleanliness excellent. Good location.

Contras: Lighting in room a little too dark. Poor storage for clothes. Bath towels could have been softer

Prós: Nice spacey comfortable rooms

Contras: Lighting was very dim.

Prós: Super friendly and helpful staff. Free coffee, lemonade in the lobby (nice touch, but the taste is not so great)

Contras: Room was really dark, there were no wardrobe we literally used our luggage and bags for storing our stuff. WiFi is weak in the room don’t count on it. The room was under construction (they changed the doors, but they didn’t have time to paint the walls near it - why do they put guests in these rooms, yeah I know... it is still money). The Tv was on the wall by the bed, so you couldn’t watch it, in the hallway there are 2 chairs but the tv can be watched only from one of it - why is there a big screen Tv if you can’t use it? You have to be really slim to get into the toilet (or you won’t shut the door, make your choice). The bathtub was spotty (it was clean but you didn’t have the clean-feeling about it - I wonder why didn’t they change the tub instead of the door...) The whole room had a not finished feeling, some of the lamps held only by their wires from the ceiling. One day we went back to our room late and we didn’t find one of our phones... of course we searched everywhere, we went nuts... we went to the reception where this really nice lady told us she will look for it. As it happened, one of the maids accidentally folded the bedsheets with the phone inside. They found it in the laundry, luckily they hadn’t washed the sheets yet... this was a bit scary - but as I wrote: the staff was really nice and helpful.

Prós: Great location. Friendly staff, internet speed could have been better.

Prós: Close to metro and sights

Contras: The food was awful and came in plastic packages. 8 or 9 per breakfast. Give this a failing grade

Prós: lovely staff very clean

Contras: very dark everywhere almost gothic! standard room very basic nowhere to put anything no wardrobe only a rack with a few hangers no draws anywhere on the plus side staff are lovely and the whole place was spotless

Prós: Good location. Very pleasant staff. Room clean

Contras: Basic means a plain room, cheap bed, pillow and sheet, desk and lamp. Never been in a prison cell but just what I would imagine it to be like. Room very dark despite small window which looked into another bedroom. Very , very noisy with guests using communal toilet and shower, dragging cases up and down steep stone stairs and talking, rattling door keys into the early hours. Makes a British Travel Lodge look 5 star! Down a back street which felt unsafe at night (though it wasn’t). Sorry to say but not what I would consider value for money.

Prós: staff is great! very friendly. Honestly I would go back no doubt!!

Prós: nice hostel just near last rambla. the single roomph was small but clean and the common bathrooms were really clean

Contras: the window of my bedroom was really small.

Prós: We stayed in a private double room for 6 days with a shared shower. The room had a fridge which allowed me to have store some food and save some costs. The owner of the hostel went above and beyond providing local recommendations of foods, drinks and how to make the most of our time in Barcelona. The terrace at the top is splendid and we were able to have a casual drink in the warm air of Barcelona. I would highly reccomend Central and Basic Solarium to anyone wanting to stay in the heart of Barcelona.

Prós: Host is very nice and helpful. Location is one of the best. Building and interior is older,but everything is clean as it should be. Dont be bothered by the look outside...like said it is worth reserving. They are quite awsome,i recommend it very much.

Contras: I paid the amount of the room in cash, no need to deduct the amount from my bank account, because currently reserved amount of my account, please fix that

Prós: Very nice appartment in an excellent location. Very easy to check in & out.

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: I’ve had a great time staying here. Lovely staff. They even saw it was my birthday and gave me a gift! That was so nice!

Prós: The location is great and the staff is very helpful and always at the reception. The shared bathrooms are cleaned multiple times during the day. The rooms are basic but if you are in Barcelona to see the city and just use the rooms to sleep in , they are more than okey!

Contras: Cleaning of the room could be a bit better. Would be nice to get the garbage bin emptied every day.

Prós: The staff it was amazing, kind, really helpful, especially a South American guy, I don’t remember the name!!it was really clean.

Contras: Honestly, to be an hostel it was a bit expensive the price of the room with.i suppose to have include private toilette, for the price of the room

Prós: Balcony Room size Reception 24h

Contras: Smell in bathroom like strong detergent

Prós: Good location very clean room

Contras: They didn't have ice machine, the fridge was not working

Prós: Location was great. Walking distance to most sights that I wanted to experience. Appreciated good, silent air con and bar fridge. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Contras: It would have been great if breakfast was included. As it was not, coffee/tea making facilities and a little table in the room would have helped.

Prós: Hostel is located in an old and good looking building in the city center, a couple of minutes walking from a train station, with some restaurants and supermarkets in the area. Our room had a window to the inner yard, so there was no nice view, but what's more important is that you can open your window and not get a street noise - which is quite an advantage for this area. We had a room with a comfortable big bed, little fridge, air conditioning, a couple of electric sockets next to each side of a bad - so nothing special, but everything you might need for a short stay. There is also a shared kitchen with a microwave and electric kettle.

Prós: We loved the style of the room and the view. The location was very convenient. Everything was great!

Prós: Great location! Major sights are within walking distance or a short bus ride. It was quiet in the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Contras: It felt like the floors weren’t properly cleaned because after walking barefoot I felt my feet were dirty. It is a very old building and it feels.

Prós: I loved that place! I will recommend it to any friends/family members traveling to Barcelona! :)

Contras: all fine

Prós: Lovely hostel for a few nights, quite big private bathroom, good location!

Prós: The perfect place for a few days in beautiful Barcelona !

Prós: Very clean room. The location is amazing. 5-10 minutes from Pl. Catalunya. Very friendly stuff. The best value for money option.

Prós: friendly service, clean.

Contras: The noise from the street. Sparsely furnished rooms. The old crumbling cabinets, lack of furniture and facilities.

Contras: Bad experience , dirty rooms !!!

Prós: Hotel is nicely located. There are 2 metro stations nearby (5-10 minute walk) which means you're well connected with almost all parts of Barcelona. Also, there's a couple of supermarkets and bakeries/restaurants around so you can easily find something to eat in the morning. The room itself was very clean, with toiletries provided.

Contras: Check-in experience is not the best. As other people have mentioned, you need to go to the main hotel building a few streets away (the staff did send a message through booking.com some hours prior to check-in, but this ended up in the spam folder so we didn't know exactly where this building was before arriving). The bed was a bit uncomfortable and super noisy. The walls are thin so you can also hear almost everything in the room next to you. Overall, you get what you pay for (if you're visiting Barcelona, you need to pay a lot to get decent comfort).

Prós: Good street view

Contras: Parking was too far from where we stay

Prós: Super clean and a lovely room

Prós: Hostals are usually small. I booked this location with that in mind because the price was affordable. It is as advertised. Sleeps 3 people (the room we booked had 3 twin beds). However, don't expect to do anything in the room other than sleeping as there is no room to walk around the beds! We were literally climbing over the beds to get to our suitcases. The bathroom was clean and the shower had a nice amount of water. The room was well air conditioned. The staff is actually at the hotel which is 2 blocks away. So, if you need anything, you will have to walk there. But the staff was wonderful. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Overall a good stay. Two blocks away from the double decker green line sight seeing tours and walking distance to La Sagrada Familia.

Contras: I didn't like how small it was, but it was as advertised. So, I knew that I would be getting a small room.

Prós: For the price, and for one night stay it was quite good. There was aircon, tv, and the shower works and the bed was comfortable and clean. I also liked the fact that there was a 24/h check in. We arrived very late due to flight delays and they remained patient with us.

Contras: There was only no hairdryer or minifridge but that was not the end of the world

Prós: it is possible to drop luggage in a separate room after check out

Prós: internet connection was perfect, but only good thing is that.

Contras: In hostel part of Sant Pau, there were no reception staff so we had to walk and to try to find reception to check in with our luggage nearly half of an hour. The location was not good in terms of social activities. At night we were not able to find even a bottle of water, because all markets around the hostel was closed before midnight. The room was very small, no refrigerator, no hair dryer, no soap. When you have a bath, the front of the bedroom door were being full of waste water. The noise of the other rooms were directly in our room, so that the noise made us wake in the night when we were sleeping. The plug socket on the right side of bedroom was not working. because of those reasons, we have disappointed on price-performance of the hostel.

Contras: At least a microwave in the common area will be great.

Prós: The bed was comfortable.

Contras: The check in/out is not at the hostel itself but in a hotel two minutes walk from the hostel. The bathroom smelled of damp, probably because the only ventilation is an extractor that only works when also switching the lights on. In my case it was an external private bathroom but I knew that when I made the booking.

Prós: Staff very friendly and helpful, good price, clean rooms, near tube.

Contras: The internet wifi didn't reach up to the second floor, so there was the need to connect in the lobby, although seats were provided.

Prós: Pleasant staff especially Silvia

Prós: We spent there a wonderful week. Good location (close to Sagrada Família and metro stations of line 4 and 5 but not in the crowded touristic area), the rooms were cleaned every day and the staff was lovely, friendly and helpful.

Prós: It is quite nice located hostal - well managed.

Prós: The people who were working in the hostel were very friendly and helpful. Cleaning in the hostel was very good. Hostel was not situated to turistic area, which was wonderful! Nevertheless it was very near to metro stations, so moving around the city was easy.

Contras: The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was that the size of the room was quite small.
