comments pulito e comodo per la posizione anche se andrebbe fatto qualche lavoro di restauro
Hotel Response:

Ciao! Grazie tante per i commenti. Pensiemo di fare lavori nella pensione dopo l´estate, per fare un bagno extra, dipingere. Questo mese rinoviamo cualque mobili. Grazie tante e vi aspettiamo la prossima volta in questa o qualche altra delle nostre pensioni "Barcelona City". A presto. Xavier.

comments No me gustó la atención recibida. Otra observación que no terminó de convercerme fue que ni de día ni de noche no hay físicamente ningún resposamble ni nadie que cuide de hostal.

comments Better information could be given how to get to Hostal on arriving in the City from the Estacion de Autobuses (Sants) (Reus Airport). I expect information from Airport (Barcelona centre) better. Even with a map I found it difficult to find, C. de Bailen is a LONG street! and advice is varied on a route to anywhere I found!, but thank you Barcelona - Very pleasant staff on arrival and during my stay there - made me feel very welcome. My thanks to them, for the cleanliness, and conversations. What a great city Barcelona is! Once I had my "bearings" (could do with another map of the local area for eating/bars, Bar Napoleon particularly good for tapas) in local area. Found it was a great place to stay, out of the Centre, quieter but still accessible to Pl. de Catalunya, and main stations. I would go back again. Parc del Cuitadella was interesting, but got locked in at dusk probably due to the Rough Guide information. (just followed a group of schoolchildren out of side gate!!) Loved the parakeets and bats in the park, though. Amazing. And most of all the terrazza where I could watch the swifts - lovely in the summer evening. The atmosphere of Arc de Triomf area was good.

comments I dont think this place is great value for money. It was clean and generally comfy, and a good location, but the ensuite shower had a curtain that didn't close at all which flooded the bathroom. The room was very basic, as were the facilities. The cleaner threw away all my food in the fridge by mistake, although they were very friendly staff. Overall I think there are hostels with better bathrooms and kitchens and locations for half the price of this one.

comments Really friendly host, gave us a short preview on where to go in Barcelona. Overall quite livable but thought could improve on the cleanliness underneath the beds.

comments Friendly and helpful staff, v comfortable beds, good space in rooms. A bit pricey given that there was no ensuite bathroom, maybe because of £/euro exchange rate

comments Initially on seeing the room I was a little disappointed as the room is fairly old and no real renovation to pretty it up however this passed very quickly and we loved the hostal - fab location, easy for metro, never had any wait for the shared bathroom and enjoyed coffee every morning and late evening on the terrace - a truly authentic Barca experience. Would def go here again.

comments Very cosy 'dorms'. everything is there to make your own breakfast, including free coffee and tea and a fridge! One negative element: the locks on the doors make a lot of noise and they sound through the whole house. So in the evening or in the morning is there some noise.

comments I received a warm and helpful welcome from Paulo. The hostel is well located in a quieter part of the city. While modestly appointed, I was very comfortable and enjoyed the readily available self-serve tea or coffee on my small private patio each morning.
