Hostal Balmes Centro

On the plus side, the room was clean with fresh linens every day, bathroom was spotless and cleaned daily, the staff were friendly and non-instrusive, and the place is centrally located so there are great things to see and do with easy access to all transportation. It had air conditioning as well. On the negative side, this tiny room was much more expensive for what you get, compared to anywhere in North America. My first thought was "Geesh, do people in Spain really live like this?" The room was very small, with two single beds squeezed side by side, no chairs, no dresser, just a single desk sitting on top of a mini-fridge. No stove or microwave in the room, you had to share appliances out in the "lobby" of the hotel. My son and I only planned to sleep there, so that was okay, but certainly you would not have a meal in the room or entertain any guests! Very little space in the tiny room. And Spanish people DO live better than this -- our next hotel in Grenada was much, much nicer, with a pool, and at half the price. Soooo... maybe look for a nicer place in Barcelona. Unless all you need is a clean bed and toilet. (But I will say, the staff were very friendly and did a great job keeping the place clean. So kudos to them!)

I highly recommend this hotel! The room was extremely clean, with spotless floors, and the shared bathroom was spacious and very well-maintained. The room had a small fridge, and there was a microwave available in the hallway, which was very convenient. The ceiling in the room was beautiful, and my room even had a small balcony, making it a fantastic city stay experience. The location of the hotel is excellent — just about a 10-minute walk to Casa Milà, right in the city center, with plenty of great restaurants and cafés nearby. Additionally, there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making transportation extremely easy. The staff were incredibly friendly. I accidentally left my glasses at the hotel, and they kindly helped me have them shipped back — I’m truly grateful! I will definitely choose this hotel again the next time I visit Barcelona.

Que fuera un edificio antiguo conservado. El silencio. Muchas opciones alrededor para comer y también supermercados. Que la habitación tuviera nevera y la galeria con més y sillas me pareció genial. Todo funcionaba perfectamente. Servicios de taquillas.

El sitio esta bien, limpio y habitaciones renovadas, distancia adecuada para un paseo a plaza de Catalunya/ Ramblas pero lejos del caos; restaurantes y cafeterías al rededor, estrictos con la hr de entrada pero con taquillas para dejar la maleta. Me toco en el tercer piso, un poco ruidoso (las cañerías y los residentes) pero en general sin queja, si volvería.

Petit hôtel pour une nuit en transit sur Barcelone centre. Les wc et salles de bains sont communes. Il y a un lavabo dans la chambre avec la climatisation. Excellent rapport qualité/prix pour les petits budgets.

Muy buena situación. Pero el edificio está bastante deteriorado, al entrar mal olor que ya da mala imagen, el ascensor con una nota qie so te quedas encerrado, les avises..... Al llegar a la habitación, estaba bien de tamaño, pero en el baño algunas cosas oxidadas,deberían actualizar. El personal muy agradable, lo mejor

Es un lugar viejo pero tiene elevador, el cuarto decente, la cama incómoda, pero para pocas noches es tolerable, lo demás bien

I have booked many one-night stays near the city center of Barcelona during the past few years, and this hotel was by far my favorite. My spacious room had a beautiful 'sunroom' with lots of windows, in addition to the sleeping area and bathroom. This hotel offers many small comforts and conveniences: I really appreciated having a desk and a mini-fridge, and the bed was comfortable. Good shower with hot water. The hotel has a common area with an electric teakettle and microwave, which is also much appreciated and made for a more comfortable and convenient stay. It was very nice to have a self-service laundromat a half-block away so that I could do my laundry before packing my suitcase for my flight home to the United States. The distance from Plaza Catalunya (and the airport bus) is a bit farther than other comparably priced hotels in the area, but I think the size and quality of the rooms more than makes up for the extra walking distance. I would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is located right in Eixample, right in the center of the city. The room was very comfortable, clean spacious and had a balcony. Wifi worked great and it had an AC and small radiator. (I think the refrigerator holders could be cleaned though.) There was no bathroom in this room, but it was down the hall and I never needed to wait to use it because I was one of the few guests on my floor. Reception check-in was quick, friendly and hands-off. The entrance is a bit hard to enter for someone with mobility issues because you need to step through the small door and there are some small stairs to enter the building, but there is an elevator. I would definitely stay here again.

Las fotos que muestran no se parece en nada a la realidad, la habitacion muy vieja y con olor a humedad, el colchon muy basico. El baño muy limpuoby remidelado, tohallas limpias y hay una sala comun con mawuinas didpensadoras de agua, cafes. Nobvolvere a hospedarme en sa propiedad.

El baño estaba sucio, un día no hicieron la limpieza de la habitación y hay mucho ruido de otros huéspedes

シャワーの排水が詰まりかけていたが、スタッフに伝えたらすぐに掃除してくれていた。 他は清潔にされていて良かった。 繁華街にもメトロにも近く、動きやすかった。

Great location, being very close to the city centre, Ramblas and metro stops. In an old building, but very clean and good beds and bathroom. I'd happily stay here again.

In linea generale abbastanza bene , l'unico disaggio e il rumore che si sente da tutte le altre stanze e la pulizie non e ottima

La experiencia en general ha sido buena, por sacarle alguna pega la lejanía del baño y las manchas en la sabana protectora de colchon amarillas. Por lo demás hemos estado muy agusto.

Es una propiedad muy vieja,camas muy malas,mala limpieza

Ruidoso y baño compartido sucio.

Chambre et fenetre d'un autre age, avec matelas hs! murs en carton... Cohabitation avec les voisins obligatoire quand au bruit de la tv, de leur discussion et du bip du micro onde installé dans le couloir..... Jusqu'à 2 h du matin... Le prix a payer quand on a une chambre avec douche et toilettes... Mais que d'autres n'ont pas cette cjance et qu'ils font des allers-retours incessants dnas le couloir en claquant les portes!.... Bref 155€ la nuit... Tristesse....

It is a very old building and the noise isolation is poor, we can hear everyone speaking in next room. The bathroom has up to date shower room and toilet bowl that is a credit for this hostel

We stayed on the ground floor & it was very noisy! There is a bar next door, music went until 2.30 am! But overall it was clean & staff were nice!

Es un lugar viejo pero tiene elevador, el cuarto decente, la cama incómoda, pero para pocas noches es tolerable, lo demás bien

Bien situé mais très bruyant car les fenêtres sont très vieilles

Très bon emplacement, en revanche, gros point noir, et pas des moindres : ZÉRO insonorisation. Chambre située dans un immeuble fin 19e sans AUCUNE isolation acoustique; nous avions l’impression de dormir dans le couloir (qui résonne). Chambre peu lumineuse et confort sommaire.

L'hotel si trova in una posizione ottima, molto centrale e sicura. Metro e bus sono a 5 minuti di camminata. L'edificio è datato ma la stanza era in buone condizioni. Pulizie quotidiane ma forse un po' approssimative. Essendo nel corridoio vicino alla reception, effettivamente risulta un po' rumoroso di notte.

Two adults and one teenager. Very good location, walking distance to almost everywhere. Only minus is sounds coming from downstairs bar and voices from other rooms.

Es gab kein WLAN

Me gustó mucho la ubicación y que tiene muchas opciones de transporte público muy cerca. El personal es súper servicial.

Fine room. No one was available for checkout and it’s supposed to be 24 hours. Left at 3 am to catch a flight and no one was there

It was a bit hard to find the front desk to check-in, more details provided beforehand would be useful. Area is fantastic. Room was neat and had a great balcony. Staff was helpful.

Stayed here for 6 nights and it was good! Really easy to get around a store at the bottoms that stays open 24 hours which was rly nice! The staff was nice and friendly. I felt safe and like nothing was going to go missing. Great place to stay at!

Hostal molt cèntric. Personal molt amable i habitació molt correcte. Era dissabte, i a la nit sentíem la música del local de sota, però estàvem tant cansats que vam dormir igualment.
