We (myself, husband, 1 year old daughter, and my father) stayed here last February and would probably book the place again. The rooms were basic, nothing special, but clean. There was a computer/Internet in the lobby which was nice except when the employees smoked there, and that was NASTY! I hated walking through there with my daughter. Perhaps they felt... more

We stayed here in July and it was an absolute nightmare - DO NOT STAY AT THIS SCAM HOSTEL!!!! First you can't cancel within 72 hours (!?!?!) and they will charge your credit card the full amount if you do. We had a crazy VISA challenge for months just to get our money back. Second, they will give you a... more

I've travelled extensively, and this has been my absolute worst hostel experience ever. I booked a 3 bed room at Hostal Arco A&A, which automatically assigned me to this place. The price was very steep - 48 euros per person per night - which came out to 144 euros per night. However, it was the height of tourist season, so... more

I don't even know where to begin. When we arrived a day late, they insisted on charging us for the room even though we had cancelled on the phone and they had told us they wouldn't charge us! The staff was incredibly rude the entire time. We had guests visit us and the "conceirge" just turned them away, without bothering... more

Hostal Palermo is really an Hostal, so don't go there if you're looking for a Hilton or Sheraton service. But if you wanna a budget hotel in Barcelona I think Hostal Palermo is the answer. The location is really great: Calle de la Boqueira is a crossroad of La Rambla, so going out from Hostel you are in the hearth... more

I stay at Palermo every time I'm in Barcelona. It's not for everyone -- note the several bad reviews in this forum. But if you need an inexpensive place and are concerned more about location than luxury, this is a good option. Like many independent budget hostels and pensions in Europe, it's not up to the standards of Best Western... more

I stayed at Hostal Palermo between 21-23 January 2005. The room was clean, with a wonderful bathroom (ensuite). Yes, it is not Hilton Hotel, but I think it is one of the best things you can find in Barcelona for low badget. Clean, quiet, and... absolutely in the centre of the city! Inside the Barri Gothic!!! I have a very... more

This was very low budget. Nothing worked at all the shower the electrics the locks on the doors the beds were barely good enough to sleep in. When we got back to the UK we reaslised that they had taken more money than they should have and the extra money was to pay for damages that we knew nothing about.....wherever... more

The Hostal Palermo was great. On a quiet(ish) side street just 100 metres from the middle of Las Ramblas. Our triple room was very clean and had its own ensuite and balcony for only E83 per room per night inc tax. We were right in the centre of things and the hostal seemed secure, in fact we left our lugguge... more

My family and I spent 4 nights in Barcelona in mid-August 2003. Staying at Hostal Palermo was a delight. We had booked 2 rooms. One for my wife and I with a large bed. The other room was for our teenage daughters with 2 beds. We loved the atmosphere and friendly staff. Rooms were clean and tidy. We also spent... more
