1,Located at a alley of bar ，very close to the beach，so it would be a little noisy. 2,There is no independent toilet with inconvenience. 3,There is only a old man who just speak Spanish in the service desk. You get what you pay for.The price in this area is worth.

Hostel is located 2-3 minutes from La Rambla and Port Vell and it is its biggest advantage. However if you are looking for outstanding quality, you can be disappointed. It is clean inside the room and in the bathroom and you could expect cleaning service everyday. From that point of view everything is ok. However you should take into consideration... More

The only one good thing about this hostal is its location. The entrance is not very welcoming at all.Cimbing the stone stairs to reception with 4 suitcases was not an easy task.Then we were shown our doubleroom with own bathroom (i booked this as i had looked at the professional photos) what a disapointment! The windowpane was broken and it... More

Wanted cheap accommodation in a convenient location for our weekend city break and Hostal Baires was ideal. Booked a double (two single beds pushed together) ensuite and got a room with a balcony, which was great to sit out on with a beer watching the world go by. The room was basic, but spacious, very clean and the shower was... More

Hostal Baires is great value for money as long as you know what you are letting yourself in for. Communal toilet, no tv, basic breakfast, noisy environment etc. Being in the gothic quarter of barcelona for £50 a night between two of you kind of cancels out any minor problems in my opinion, the staff are friendly and helpful and...

The location of this hostel couldn't have been better. Right on a main vein inside the Barrio Gotic, easy to navigate to, close walking distance to the beach and just a few twists and turns to La Rambla or in the other direction, the 'Born neighbourhood' and about 10 mins up to Plaza Catalunya. It was basic, however the price... More

I went to Barcelona with a friend in May 2011 to attend Primavera Live Festival. We found this hostel and we thought the location was great and the price too. The location is indeed great, but everything else sucks: the rooms are renewed but still kind of old. Our was stinky. Breakfast was actuallt ok for the price we paid.... More

We stayed here for 4 days and expected it to be basic going on the reviews. We decided to go ahead with the booking as we were visiting Barca with friends and figured we only needed a bed. These were our main observations good and bad: *We had a room without a bathroom but did have a sink, the tap... More

ok, the room was small but if i stay in a city for vacation the most import thing is for me the location of the place where i stay ! and the hostal baires is just located perfect because many of the important spots of barcelona are just a short walk away. 10 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to...
