A simple hotel located in a beautiful plaza that is close to practically all of the main attractions. The rooms are basic with beds and a bathroom and soundproof windows (good because there can be a lot of people in the plaza until about 4 o'clock in the morning). Overall a basic but good pension because of its view and... More

There are a lot of great things about Pension Villanueva: the location is close to everything and gives you ample opportunity to wander the Barri Gotic in particular; the people who work there are, for the most part, friendly and helpful; and I felt very safe there. I had a spacious room (with a private bathroom) overlooking the Placa Reial,... More

I couldn’t find anything in the Ramblas area of Barcelona for this low price (something like 28 or 30 euros), so I took it! The downside is, it is four or five floors and NO elevator, so you have to walk up many, many winding stairs in a dark stairway with your suitcases! It was also hot, and the air... More

This place is really basic but the location is great if you're planning to be out on the town until late. Rooms were clean with the most basic of beds and a shower that leaked everywhere. The staff were really friendly but insist on everything in cash which can be a problem. Did the job for us as we wanted... More

We staied there one week, and after first looking around I understood that cannot be something worst than this place named pension. The room is very small and smell terrible, the bed is not good for sleeping, the walls full of messages from previouse customers who staied there many years ago. Is a very noisy place where the staff don't... More

I stayed here for 2 nights by myself, while visitng friends in Barcelona. The hostal is very centrally placed in Placa Reial, just off the Ramblas, and handy for the Gothic Quarter. My room was small and dark, with old, basic furniture, but it was clean. I was very pleased to get an ensuite single for under 40 euros a... More

Me and my friend arrived in Barcelona 12th June for the Sonar festival. After a total disaster with the hotel we had booked (they had overbooked and told us there was nothing they could do, leaving two girls homeless in Barcelona). Anyway, after about 5 hours at tourist information, they managed to find us a hostel for 3 nights, then... More

We did Barcelona on the cheap.... very cheap! The room 123 Euros for 2 nights.... absolutely superb value. Yes it's up 4 (maybe 7) flights of stairs look for the P* sign! It was clean.... there was a bit of mould above the shower, the bed seemed like a camp bed but was surprisingly comfortable. Absolutely No Frills, barely the... More
