Let's get to everybody's complaint first - the prostitutes. Yes, this area is relatively rampant with prostitutes. They will be standing on the street on both sides of the hotel and they will definitely verbally harass guys. We had a somewhat unnerving experience on our first night - they actually physically grabbed us, bent over in front of us and... more

I stayed here for four nights during the week. This was my first time to Barcelona, and not knowing Spanish, and reading some of the reviews of this place, I was a little scared of this prospect. I was pleasantly surprised. After sneaking by the prostitutes, I checked in. The woman on staff didn't know English, but we managed. There... more

As our first hotel was not clean at all (the lady of the hotel wasn't even surprised when we told her she had cockroaches in her hotel...) we hasted to seek another one. We ended up at San Ramons. It is about 200m off the ramblas so it wasn't very hard to find. It's true that it's nearby the red... more

I think that the other reviews are unfair, unless that you are the kind of person who is going to faint at the sight of a prostitute or a client. Yes, there are prostitutes around and other reviewers claimed to have been approached by prostitutes or clients. Well, if that happens you decline the invitation and that's it (I, being... more

I stayed here as part of a school trip (I hasten to add, not my trip!), the number of prostitues was amazing, even working at 9am on a Sunday morning, a colleague's purse was stolen right under her nose, students were propostioned, and offered 30 Euros for their services! Drugs were also readily available. We had to ask for towels... more

We booked a week at this hostel but after reading reviews on this site we decided to swop to another hotel. When we got to Barcelona we went along to take a look out of curiosity and we are so relieved that we didn´t stay there. It´s down a dodgy road right in the middle of the red light district.... more

If only I had seen a review of this before I booked it. This is a lesson in 'just because it has a website doesn't mean it's OK'. The were prostitutes all over the street outside - not on any of the other streets really, just this one! Although some streets were a bit scary nearby. Very dark. I had... more

Please be wary of staying in this establishment, especially if you are female. My girfriend and I were in Barcelona for 3 days and were supposed to stay at Pension San Ramon for the last 2 nights. This is the address c/ San Ramón nº 15 08001 - Barcelona We took a walk to check the place out and there... more

Fuimos a pasar un fin de semana a Barcelona y reservamos aquí por el precio en un sitio tan céntrico.... more
