I went to Barcelona with my boyfriend to stroll around and enjoy autumn in the city. We chose La Terrassa for its good price. At first, we were a bit disappointed by the size of the room, but then we had to appreciate other, more important, positives of the hostal: the position is excellent, central yet not in a noisy... more

Stayed here for 3 nights. The room (#3) was small, about 10'x10'. The bathroom was ok, the shower head was sort of broken so if not adjusted correctly, it would spray outside of the shower enclosure. The room is right off the lobby so it can get a tad noisy. It is also an exterior facing room, so it is... more

I stayed here for 3 nights in May 2008 after struggling to find reasonably priced accommodation in Barcelona at short notice. Positives: * Room was basic but clean and bed linens were clean. * My room had a small balcony overlooking terrace (rather than street) which was quiet enough to have the windows open at night for fresh air. *... more

I won't give this place a one star as the front desk staff was nice and despite all the negatives, the room and linen seemed clean. But I am an American living in Europe, this place was at least a couple of levels down from the usual dark, bland, small European accomodations I have seen many times over. If you... more

This is my second time at this property and I could not be happier. It is a simple and straightforward place with very helpful and reliable staff. English (especially, via phone) can be an issue, but the staff is very eager to help with everything they can. It is not a Ritz but I was not looking for one (I... more

Although there were mixed reviews on tripadvisor, booked this place b/c of low prices. I could say you get what you pay for, but actually, you get even less than that. The place resembles a juvenille detention center inside with a "decor" that recalls a sensory deprivation theme. The room was barely big enough to walk around the bed, which... more

Excellent location right of the main "High" street called Las Ramblas, and just next to a metro stop so great for navigating the city. You must note that this is a Hostal, this is a very functional place to stay, but do not expect any hotel "fluff." The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were newly renovated and there was plenty... more

This was our first trip to Barcelona and we wanted somewhere cheap but central - so no great expectations. But we had an excellent welcome on our arrival. The room (whilst basic) was clean and looked out over the terrace. The bed was comfortable, bed linen and towels changed and the room cleaned daily. The shower was excellent. Some noise... more

I am a 24 year old female traveling alone. Horrible experience. I have stayed in hostels, hotels, budget hotels and superior hotels and this is the worst experience I have had. Ever. The Good: Location. Right around the corner from Las Ramblas, a great market, short walk to Barri Gothic and the beach. Front desk staff. Informative, friendly and helpful.... more
