Hostal Central Barcelona

We enjoyed our stay here. The only negative is that it's a bit far from things but the subway is near by. We had a triple room which was large with our own bathroom in the hallway. The balcony was great! We also had a single room which was a bit small and dark. I think what room you get makes a big difference. The staff was very helpful with maps and suggestions of things to do.

2 months before our arrival I made reservation on their web page.After submitting my credit card I got an email with a confirmation number and reservation for our stay. When we arrrived to the hostal they told us they have no room for us and that the reservartion didnt go all the way through and it was my fault that my card was not charged by them. No matter where I travel after submitting my credit card information and receiveing confirmation and reservation number from the hotel I consider it a done deal (some hotel charge you the same day, some a week before, some on the day of your arrival.) Obviously not in this place where I think they open each room for more than one reservation and pick one and charge the highest price!!!! They didnt make the experience of coming to Barcelona nice but eventually we found another hotel and enjoyed our stay. We were looking forward to our stay at hostal central barcelona but they made the choice of not welcoming us and loosing many new potential customers that my company could have bring them. Sorry guys but never ever....

We were visiting Barcelona for a few days and chose the Hostal Central Barcelona as our base. The Hostal is a 5-minute walk from Tetuan metro station. It is conveniently located for many of the major attractions. The staff were extremely helpful in explaining the local geography and what public transport would be most useful for reaching attractions. (On a side issue: we bought Hola Barcelona tickets for the duration of our stay and this was really useful) The hotel has been refurbished in recent years and the rooms are comfortable and provide all the basic facilities you would expect. Because our room was at the front of the hotel, there was some road/traffic noise at night. Nonetheless, it was an excellent base from which to explore Barcelona
