I stayed in solo room of Hostal Mare Nostrum. Hotel has excellent location, just beside Metro station. It is easy to arrive to this hotel e.g. from Airport. Old town sights are just a stone's throw from the hotel. The service at the reception was nice and helpful. The room was quite small, but clean, every day cleaned, bed made... More

I stayed at Hostal Mare Nostrum before running the 2011 Barcelona Marathon. We were looking for inexpensive accommodations and we found them! The hotel was located right on Las Ramblas, with easy access to the metro and some shopping. It was a rather crazy area to be located in, but I can't complain too much. For what I spent, I... More

I can highly recommend the Mare Nostrum to anybody on a low budget looking for a friendly staff in the middle of a busy and exciting city. It's the third time in a row that I've been to the Mare Nostrum with a group of students and I will definitely return again! The location on the Ramblas next to the... More

Friend and I stayed here and got to experience 3 different rooms due to issues with the first one. The shower door was not containing the water from the shower so it was flooding into the room. Other than that the experience was fine overall. Location is what this has going for it. Super centrally located. Beach is an easy... More

We chose a room with a shower, it was located inside the room (not inside the bathroom) the shower was leaking, so the floor got wet inside the bedroom. The toilet was inside a kind of locker or "wardrobe" that was so small that you could not close the door when using the toilet. you could sit on the toilet... More

I'll list the positives and negatives: On the plus side: -Location is great if you want to stay in the heart of Las Ramblas - the touristy section of downtown Barcelona. -If you've got a balcony, you've got a fabulous view of Las Ramblas On the minus side: -It's...

The only good things about this hostel: excellent location (near Rambla) and friendly staff. Otherwise, the room was kind of sketchy and not particularly clean. Did not feel very comfortable. Cigarette smell on the floor. We found a MUCH better hotel in Barcelona for about the same price and around the same location, so don't go here unless you can't... More
