Barcelona has loads of turists....it's like they can' t be bothered to make you feel at home, they don't realise what would happen if tourists would stop pouring in.
This hostal, it more of a hostel than a hotel, is very well placed...meters from plazza Catalunya and upper part of Las Ramblas, people at the reception were polite and quite helpful when we needed extra help. The rooms need a refurbish tough, they are terrible, the owner need to invest to keep it's bussines. Sorry to have to do this ....for the staff....but have a look at the pictures....my advice...sacrifice a bit more money and chose something better.

Comfortable beds but doors banging, bells ringing, people shouting made for no sleep for our 2 night stay. Location great, straight off airport bus and less than 2 minute walk and a 2 minute walk to La Rambla :-)
