We stayed 2 nights at the Hostel Benidorm which is right in the middle of Las Ramblas. Having read reviews of several hotels in the area I came prepared with earplugs ready for a sleepless night. There is a tiny lift which is a great relief after dragging our suitcases around the metro and our room was ready straight away... more

Hostal Benidorm is situated in a great location, just on the Ramblas, between Drassanes and Liceu Metro stations. Rooms are simple, but comfortable, with Air Conditioning and TV. Breakfast is not included, but you won't have any problem finding a good place to have breakfast nearby. Just a suggestion: there are a few rooms (3, maybe 4) that have a... more

After reading all the reviews on this hotel I was a little nervous at check-in wondering what on earth I was letting myself in for. However as only sleeping at the hotel as we would be leaving the hotel early each morning for the grand prix and arriving back late I was not too bothered. However the reception staff were... more

My second stay in Barcelona was at this hostel which is located right on the ramblas (the main street in downtown Barcelona, and very well known). Ramblas is very "tourist-like", but it's location is good. You can easily walk to the surrounding neighborhoods, such as raval, barrio gotico, and gracia. These places are alot more interesting than just staying in... more

One word to describe this place: SKETCHY. My husband and I stayed here for three nights in December of 2007, including New Years Eve. We booked well in advance -- August or September. When we called to book, the reception would not take our credit card information over the phone. They preferred we e-mail it to them with the expiration... more

You should know that in Spain there are Youth Hostels - for students/backpackers, Hostals - somewhere between a hostel and a hotel, they equate to a B&B w/out breakfast, and the Hotels. Benidorm is a Hostal. We stayed in the hostal for 4 nights in mid October. We chose this particular hostal because they advertised internet. This was true however... more

i stayed here for five nights with my boyfriend in september 2008. first off, i was unsure about whether this was a hostal (as it appeared to be in reviews i read) or a hotel (as it appeared on the website). i would classify it as a hotel with some communal rooms. w had booked a private double room with... more

Well, where to start? I stayed in this hostel for a weekend with my boyfriend. First, the nearest metro station is Liceu, not Dressanes like I read in other reviews. Ok you are in the ramblas but in the worst part of it, farther away from Placa Catalunya. From 11 p.m near the hostel you see lots of traffic and... more

we booked this after reading the reviews here and were just expecting something decent and clean but not too fancy, and thats what we got. the rooms were spotless, the rest of the hotel was also very very clean. staff at the front desk were mostly friendly too. was slightly noisy at night but nothing too much, only complaint is... more
