The place is near to underground tube station. The room that we got is small but confortable. Breakfast is not included but there are plenty of eateries around. We bought some snack & water bottles from a nearby supermarket (short walking distance). The hostel also provide mineral water but for a price. The people at the hostel is very helpful... More

Hostal Central is located slightly off the main drags of BCN, but still very walkable to hot spots and the metro and easy to find.

Stayed here with my girlfriend for one night after a Blink 182 concert and we really enjoyed our stay! Really nice building and lovely hostel inside! The staff were very friendly and made our stay in this hostel really enjoyable. Can't complain about a thing, would definitely return here if I have to stay overnight in Barcelona!!:)

Pros: + excellent location, walking distance to the city centre + the lady that welcomed us was really genuinely friendly and helpful, we were really made to feel welcome and not a burden for asking many questions + free Wifi + the street noise was not really audible (but see "cons" regarding other guests/inquiries about free rooms on friday night)...

Had a triple room for 5 nights in July. Pros: - wonderful staff. We were greeted by Isabella on arrival and she sat us down with a big map and told us all the best sights to see and gave us suggestions on the best beaches. Amanda was also most helpful with any questions we had. Both excellent English speakers.... More

Hostal is within walking distance to metro Tetuan & streets of Gran Via - Passeig De Gracia. Placa De Tetuan's neighbourhood looks & feels safe but too many dog owners around & some big dogs are not on a leash so it can be quite intimidating to walk beside them but so is all over Europe. The area is mainly... More

Hostal Central Barcelona is great! When we arrived our room wasn't ready (we got there pretty early in the morning) so the manager got out the Barcelona map and showed us where to go and where not to go. He explained the metro and bus routes and even gave us some tips on saving money. The common room is nice... More
