Excellent location, right by a metro station and Las Ramblas and walking distance to many attractions and right by shops, restaurants and bars. We stayed in a private room with an ensuite washroom and a balcony. We had no issues, except I would note that the shower was very tiny and the stairwell is super tiny! The room was nothing... More

We had a 3-bed-room with (six!) towels, blowing fan, bathroom, balcony and refrigerator. We didn't booked it especially, so it was an great surprise! We loved the cute, meditteranean balcony, with chairs and folding shutters. For each bed there is a bottle of water as a gift from the hostal, besides a citymap and a ball-pen. In the bnathroom you... More

It's essentially the double-, triple-, and 4-person rooms that most hostels have, just in a separate location from the main hostel (in this case, A&A). The front desk staff were very gracious and helpful, answering our questions and offering us advice every time we pulled out a map. There are also no lockouts, which is a huge help in a... More

I have stayed at Hostal Palermo every time I've visited Barcelona. (5 years in a row) The location is so great that I don't mind that the rooms are small, the staircase not so good if you have huge bags, as we usually do. We usually don't spend so much time in our rooms so we don't mind. The rooms... More

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
