What guests think

At Hostal Baler, travellers highlight a very convenient location near Barcelona Sants, metro and Aerobus links, consistently friendly, accommodating staff, clean but basic lodgings, and an included simple breakfast, making it a practical base for short, budget‑minded stays.

Rooms are small and basic, with thin walls that can transmit noise; comfort is generally adequate, though a few guests noted soft or short beds, occasional odors or insects, and inconsistent air conditioning or Wi‑Fi in some areas. A practical choice for short visits when easy transport access matters more than space or luxury.

The stay was good but the smell in the washroom smell like a bad bacteria whenever I get back to the hotel so I had to open the 2 separate windows so the smell can go away.

Small room, but it’s enough for stay 2 nights. Room was clean, but they were some ants since it was ground floor. I would recommend for short stay for those who just need a place to sleep and shower.

I got it for a good deal through this booking site. I don't know the real price, but for me Hostal Baler was the best place to stay overnight on my trip in Barcelona for the price/value. Everyting worked perfectly, it was super clean, staff was very friendly and the room had working AC. To my surprise, a breakfast was included and I liked it (coffee, juice, bread toppings, pastries, fruit etc.) No complaints. Would recommend if you want a basic place to sleep in where everything works!

Amazing cozy place for travelers, the room has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The personnel is friendly and always greets you with a “Hola”. The facilities and the room are cleaned every day. The fact they give you breakfast is a plus, don’t expect a fancy buffet but if you go on a budget-trip, the food they give you there definitely saves you from spending money on breakfast outside and let me tell you, food in Barcelona ain’t cheap, so having the breakfast there help. The place is located in a beautiful neighborhood and at least 20 minutes away from the main touristy places (if using the city bus or metro which both options are so easy to use if it’s your first time, which was in my case), it is at 3-4 minutes walking distance from the Arenas Mall/Plaza España which is super convenient and from there you can find the metro station or the bus stop that will take you anywhere in Barcelona. The only “downsize” of the hostal itself will be that the rooms are so close to each other and not sound isolated that you can hear the other guests snoring (that was funny), but overall, it’s not a bad thing. I highly recommend Hostal Baler, will be going back to Barcelona at end of the year and definitely I will stay again here.

First class reception where we were offered a welcoming cup of tea whilst we waited to check in. Friendly receptionist recommended a local restaurant for our evening meal which really added to the enjoyment of our overnight stay. The rooms are basic, clean and have good ensuite bathrooms. Within a ten minute walk of Barcelona Sants station.

Spotlessly clean hostel, efficiently run by helpful and professional staff. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to change my booking and the manager and receptionists were extremely accomodating in arranging an early check-out and refund. Absolutely first class service. The hostel is located in a lively but slightly shabby residential area.

I chose this hotel bc it is so close and convenient to the metro and train station. It is also an easy walk to Placa Espanya and Museo Nacional d’Art, and other beautiful sites. Bars and restaurants of all styles are near, or take the metro and explore. The hotel is small and essential. It is not, let’s say for “luxury.” However, it is perfectly located, it’s clean, the bed is comfortable, the air conditioning was great at night, and the light breakfast was fine. Best of all, are the friendly staff members who take care of the place and more importantly whatever you need. Super friendly and kind. Much appreciated! Gracias por todo!

A fantastic hostel which is walking distance from the nearest underground train station which is also a direct line to the airport. The hostel was very clean, the staff were fantastic and very helpful. The room was small but perfectly formed for two people who only needed a place to sleep. Only downside was the walls are not very soundproofed and so you can hear noise and especially the water usage in the next room. Breakfast was included and there was a choice of cereal, breads, meats, yoghurts and fruit juices. A coffee machine provided plenty of choices for hot drinks.
