I stayed in the superior room during my trip. It was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly. Housekeeping services are provided. The hotel is about 5-8 minutes walk from the Las Ramblas. Only setback may be the lack of a lift therefore it may be a little inconvenient for people with large and heavy bags. more

This is a great hostel and as has been said before, more like a hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms clean and furnished to a high standard and it is in a great location 5 minutes from Las Ramblas. Only potential negatives - 1) It was occasionally a little noisy at night (but this was a fews of the... more

Can not fault this hostal...what more do you want in Barca...somewhere comfortable and clean to lay your head at the end of a long day. Room was clean, quite as was the en suite bathroom. Staff on the front desk were always helpful and spoke english. There were coffee bars and cafes close by for breakfast..bars close by for that... more

It seemed OK for the prce at first (58 euros for single room). However,it transpired that there were various problems; the bedding really stank of cigarette smoke , the mattress was so awful/cheap/old etc that i couldnt get to sleep and i got fleabites on my face!

Being young people travelling to Barcelona, our aim was to visit the city and spend most of our time outdoors, so this hotel was just what we needed: cheap, very clean, cozy, confortable beds and with a very good location, just few minutes walking to the metro with a lot of cafes around and supermarket etc. Well, we personally had... more

Stayed in the hostal for three nights and I was more than pleased with the accomodation. After reviewing the cost of various hotels in the area, we decided to stay in the hostal as the prices were very reasonable. It was more like a hotel then a hostal. We had a twin superior room, with our own private bathroom and... more

It's central and easy to reach from the airport. The room is standard-size but unfortunately very hard to be reached from the ground floor without lift! The pics we've found out on the Net don't represent reality and are not true. It's an old structure nearby the center in a good position and with a very kind staff. For young... more

When thinking of booking accommodation for Barcelona the thought of a staying in a hostal was not the first thing that came to mind. I had never stayed in a hostal before and my idea of a hostal was not the best accommodation but I was proven wrong! Having looked at costs of b&bs, hotels etc in the city the... more

The Hostal Centric is excellent value for money. The rooms are basic, true, but absolutely clean and well maintained. Unfortunately they have low ceilings and not much character, but in general you get more than what you pay for. No phones in the rooms, computer access at the reception. The streets nearby might seem a bit dodgy after dark for... more
