We stayed three nights here based on generally positive reviews from TA members. We concur with others that this is a pretty basic hostal -- the room and bathroom were small and furnishings rather old, but fairly clean. The bathroom sink dripped and we had to close the bathroom door at night to reduce the annoying sound. We had a... more

Stayed here for the second time, now with partner. First time was with a friend. All the people at reception are forthcoming and friendly. Very clean bathroom with enough towels. For me the area of La Ribera ( where hostal is situated )is one of the safest in Barcelona. This combined with all night reception of hostal makes it one... more

We stayed at the Hotel in the last week of September 09. The location is ideal as it is opposite the main train station (that has a direct line to the Airport). It is in the Born area which is up and coming for bars/nightlife etc. The road outside is noisy but after a few San Miguels that didn't bother... more

We stayed in a triple room at the Hostal Orleans for 4 nights in May. The location of the hotel can't be beat. It is within walking distance to many of Barcelona's popular sights. You can easily walk to the Barcelonetta (the beach), las Ramblas, el Barri Gotic, el Parc Ciutadella, and el Born. Getting to and from the airport... more

But metro stations aren't as assessible, but still only a few streets away. Rooms were reasonably clean and bathroom spacious. However it was slightly humid and... more

I recently stayed for 4 nights while traveling alone. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location of this hostal was the best, close to a Metro station, close to the beach, and easy to find. Would definitely stay again. more

We found this to be a great place based on its value, location and cleanliness. This is certainly a budget option but always most important to me, it was clean. The desk staff were warm and helpful. The location in El Born is fantastic so great to be able wander around, people watch, grab great food or a drink. Just... more

Did thorough research before trip looking for reasonably priced, clean, friendly, basic accommodation in a good location. Ticked all these boxes as regards previous reviews and our experience. would definitely use Trip Adviser and Hostal Orleans again. Nb.Good idea to ask for a quiet room as suggested in reviews. more
