The main reason we enjoyed Barcelona to the full was the advise/help by the hostel Goya people They were extremely caring very resourceful, and went few steps out to help. Their research to find us a correct restaurant for our taste was amazing from providing thread needle to advise on correct stores, sights we could see in the time frame,... more

I am one of the many people who has been robbed and pick pocketed in this notoriously crime ridden city. I wasn't in the airport bus for more than ten minutes when I lost everything - cash, credit cards, driver's license, etc. The first two nights I stayed at the Hostel Girona and I appreciated their assistance- but I must... more

We had a very enjoyable stay in Barcelona because of Hostal Goya. This is our 2nd time staying at the hotel. The staff are very helpful, including giving us great tips on where to eat. The hotel is not very fancy, but very clean, which is what we look for in a hotel. We were given a great break in... more

The staff was really helpful with directions, maps, suggestions for sites and restaurants to visit. It was great to have 24-hr internet access too. The rooms were very clean and spare with some cool modern touches. We stayed in a room on the first floor of the hostel that had double doors leading to a large porch shared with a... more

Very clean and modern furniture on the lower floor and comfortable beds and nice bathroom. No telly but one in the residents lounge and access to a computer... more

I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this hostal. I'll break my review down: 1) Service: the service was as if you were at a 5* hotel. The very moment I arrived, the receptionist, Eva, asked me to sit down and she brought a map of Barcelona and began to explain to me for about 20 minutes all... more

Had a very pleasant stay in the Hostal Goya over New Year's. I stayed in the Principal Wing in a Single room with a shared bath. But the thing is, the shared bath is right across my room, and everyone else in the floor had their own private bathrooms, so I shared it by myself. Pros - VERY friendly staff.... more
