Hostal Central Reviews

Hostel is in a really excellent location. We got a room with a window to the street and the street is really noisy (we mean NOISY - crowded of buses, cars and etc). We could not sleep first night because of the noise from the street. In the morning we asked to change the room, but the lady with blond curly hair said that they were fully booked and that we were in the central Barcelona. We went to the pharmacy down the road and got ear plugs:) so we recommend to have ear plugs:)

This hostel surprised me with how nice it was! The staff is around 24hrs and is very helpful with everything. But ohhhh the coffee! I'm not sure why but their coffee was the best I have had in awhile. I am still thinking of it. I might have to stay here again just for that coffee. I liked the rooms and thought it was a great hostel! I'm sure I will be back again.

A great central location and friendly atmosphere. Very clean! Would stay again.

My stay at Hostal Central was average. Great place to stay if you're looking for just a bed and facilities. Not really much character. Perfectly okay though for what it does offer though, friendly staff, Catalunya metro station 5-7 minute walk away and Universitat about 5, good location, some good little eats within a block away. Not a party hostel by any means.

Good value for your money (-: will use again. Good location, friendly staff,

Amazing Hostel. The staff's was really friendly. They have a nice place, clean, organized. Free tea and coffee in a good point too. I recomend and I'll come back. Thank's for everything.

Location is perfect, very central and easy to reach from the airport. Most of the most important attractions were within walking distance. The rooms were cleaned every day and the shared bathrooms were kept in good conditions; our room even had a sink so you did not have to go to the bathroom to wash your teeth etc. The staff was friendly and helpful. During the night it was very quiet, but maybe it's be cause we went off-season (in late February).Only drawback: the bed was a bit hard.

Great Hostel! It's very well located and the staff is friendly. The room was very clean and warm and the shared bathroom as well. I recomend it for anyone who wants to visit Barcelona.

This is the 2nd time we have stayed here and will do so again,We love Barcelona and visit as often as we can afford and be assured, we will stay at Hostal Central-Free wi-fi 24 hr reception FANTASTIC Many thanks to all who keep the place as it is.Keep up the good work.You are amazing Tracey Flather and Robbin and Billy the teenage children

It is very central just it name's indicates, staff is very friendly, it was a lot of fun out there, the only problem is there is a metro station just under the building, so if you are having some sleeping problems it might be a little distracting...

There were very noisy groups of travellers who didn´t care about the night´s rest. Even there are some hostel rules, for example not using the showers after 10.00 pm. and so on, they didn´t respect these rules. I think it´s the duty of the staff to look after these situations to avoid them or to take the proper consequences of these guests.

Great Hostel!

Nice location and good security.

2/2 review of 15.11.2012: We booked+stayed 1st in double ensuite+they said they planned reparations in all that floor+gave us double shared bath.! we had to insist on getting ensuite (what we paid for!). Were given rooms that must be changed different times. VERY ANNOYING to pack all each time+move to other rooms! Said all guests must leave that floor BUT we found out it's NOT TRUE. If they planned to repair things on that floor, why make those rooms available for booking online?? UNPROFESSIONAL

Apart from the good location, I WOULD NOT recommend this hostel. I'm a German living in Ireland, & with a relative living in Morocco, decided to visit Barcelona (7nights). At 1st we were given nice double ensuite, then obliged to change many times!! The last nights were given small room without heating!! & water wasn't hot enough for showers!! Wifi was SO bad. Some guests were singing SO LOUD in next room & NO REACTION from staff! Incredibly noisy hostel, slept so bad.. felt impatient to leave!

Please,guive the presentation to your site in French language,thank you.

Perfect for stay a night or two. The room was clean and they made my bed and cleaned the bathroom when I went to the city. This is a great option if you do not want to spend much money.

The best hostel I've ever been in Barcelona, I would definitely recommend it to other people.

Heating was too high sometimes. And one night was very noisy (some noise from inner court). But otherwise my stay was very good!

Good location and helpful staff. The only problem is that the room is not well sound-proof, so we can hear noise from our neighbor room.
