This hostel was in a great location (near plaza catalunya) and very clean! However, there was no air conditioning and we were there during some hot days in July which made sleeping uncomfortable. The room we were in faced the street which was very loud, again making sleep harder. Overall, a nice, no frills place, though I would consider going... more

The old woman who runs this establishment was a force to be reckoned with!! Every time myself and my friend left to go out in the evening she would ask us what time we would be back at. Now I've lived away from home for a veeeeery long time and I don't expect to be treated like a teenager when... more

This hostel was perhaps one of the strangest places I have ever stayed. Firstly, on the positive side – the location is excellent and you get what you pay for. Rooms are small and for a family I think this hostel would work well. However if you plan on having any excitement going out in Barcelona, forget this place! We... more

When we booked a room with shower, but a shared bathroom, the image of those youth hostel with military bathrooms and long lines came through our minds. In fact, we were wrong, the Hostal is clean, bathroom clean normal size and we thought we were the only one using it. An excelent cost/benefit 3 blocks from the Barcelona Cathedral and... more

For about 35euro per person in a double room with shower but no WC, this place is great value. Compared to the 25euro you pay in a stinky 10 bed room hostel down on Las Ramblas, this well looked after place on the 4th floor is 5 mins away from Las Ramblas and the usual tourist haunts so you have... more

October 8, 2007 stay for one night. Overall clean but sheets and pillow were "clammy" and street outside was noisy. We were guaranteed a shower in the room but, guess what, the toilet was down the hall. For the $85 price it was OK but expect a 1950''s experience (plastic encased comb and make up blotter await you). Cigarette burns... more

I was quite happy with myself for finding such a cute and well located hotel for a reasonable price in Barcelona. But, don't believe the pictures. The hotel is actually rather ugly & disapointing. The walls & floors are old & dirty. The shower in the room was dirty (mold, yuk) not to mention badly fitted. The location is great.... more

Hostal Fontanella is a lovely gem of a hotel, very central, very close to Placa Catalunya,just around the corner from C/Fontanella, second floor, taking the nice elevator. You have to close all doors behind you and ring the hostal bell. The owner, Encarna, who answers emails, speaks English, then there's a gentleman who speaks French, rest only Catalan, Spanish/Catalan.It has... more
