Barcelona City Centre Hostal

Our host was really friendly and helpful, despite her lack of English and our lack of Spanish, but we had no problem communicating. We arrived earlier than the check in time but let her know in advance, amd our room was ready when we arrived. She also took us right to our room, made sure we knew where the emergency exit was, and made us test out our keys to make sure we knew how to lock our door.

The room could get a bit noisy from street noise but that's expected from most hotels in Europe.

This hostel is a very conveniently located - within a walking distance from Casa Batllo and Passeig de Gràcia. They serve good breakfasts in the morning and in general it is a very nice place to stay for sightseeing.

In the room I occupied, bathroom sliding door did not close completely, the gap caused that whoever remained in the room was exposed to bathroom sounds and odours. It did not offer decent privacy.
