The quality of service is an absolute nightmare in this hotel. I have made reservations through bookassist.com, (my mistake, I would not recommend this service to my worst enemy). The hostel never confirmed the reservation, but instead I was offered another room with a lower standard - of course for the same price. A week prior to arrival, the hostel... More

Clean, central, private and quiet. The gentleman in charge, Jorge, was friendly and helpful. We got our own set of keys to come and go as we pleased, at whatever hour we pleased, the bed was comfortable, the en suite bathroom adequate and as a plus we had a fridge to keep sandwich fillings, drinks etc. in which saved us...

This hostel is basically just a place to lay one's head for staying over night. There was a television inside, a bed (large) that took up almost the whole room. The room had a refrigerator, a clothes cupboard and a few night stands. The bathroom was very small also - did have ceramic tiled walls, backsplashes, and shower stall. The... More

Hostal Absolut Centro was very different to any hostal we have ever stayed in. The room is VERY basic and depressing. There is no reception or staff to ask any questions. We would strongly recommend looking at other places, as we know we could have got ourselves a much nicer room for the money we spent. Sad that our experience... More

The location we knew was out of town slightly which was not a problem. 20-30 min walk from Las Ramblas and the Gaudi highlights etc. However when we arrived it took a while to find it as there is only a very small sign identifying the hostel and no reception. Jorge the owner/receptionist took the money way before showing us... More

Absolute Centro means all about beiing central in the Gay-area, which is not the citycenter. Fair price for a pension if you don't mind the very bad beds. The matrasses are very old and very unconfortable.

When you browse through the Absolut Centro website, the rooms look very airy and quite charming with the little street facing balcony. But the photos advertised must be very old as the room that are on offer are the very opposite to airy and charming. We booked a room with a bathroom which was 15 euros more. When we arrived... More

I stayed at Hotel Absolut Centro for three nights in early August 2008. I knew nothing of what to expect other than what I had read, very generally, in some guides. On my first time in a new city, I like to be near the city center and near major roads and near restaurants. Well, the HAC fulfilled all of... More

I stayed in this hostel for two days this spring. There are two hostels (several blocks apart from one another). There's nothing really "centro" about this place, it's in the Gayxample, but there's nowhere really to go around if you want a bar or café. Gaudí and Sagrada Familia are walkable (30 minutes), as is the center of town and... More
