This is one of the best location in Barcelona. A few minute walk to pretty much everything (the rambla, city center, metro stations, restaurants). However, that being said, this place is on the 4th floor. Elevator is super small and takes 3 hours to get you there. If you have a large backpack, only one will fit. The double room... More

This place is in an amazing building with an antique, renovated elevator, right on Passeig de Gracia. It's within walking distance of all parts of the old city and right on top of several main subway lines, including a commuter rail station. The rooms that do not have their own bathroom are quite small. Very small. But you can't beat... More

I have nothing negative to say. You couldn't ask for a better location - metro at the corner, Passeig de Grasia train stop just up the road, walk to La Rambla. You could even walk to Sagrada Familia if you wore comfortable shoes. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. The ladies at the pension were very nice (1... More

This is the second time I have stayed here in two years, and the rooms have been renovated since the 1st visit, but still lack any air conditioning which is required in the middle of summer if you have a room that does not look out onto the streets for a breeze. The first time I visited with my family... More

I could not be happier with the week spent at Hostal Oliva! We had a double room with a private bathroom. The room is bare bones, but was SPOTLESS clean! Perfect amount of space for 2 adults. Enough elbow room to dress and keep things separate. Small bathroom, but really enough space to work in. The location could not be... More

Hostal Oliva is located on the emblematic avenue Paseo de Gracia, in a fine art nouveau building, and practically next to some of Gaudí's masterpieces. The elevator going up to the top floor, where the hostal is situated is also a sight to behold. These charateristics were my reasons for choosing Oliva, apart from the advantages of the central and... More

Just returned from a week Barcelona, not the first time, not the last time ;-) But it was the first time in Hosta Oliva, normally we stay closer to the Rambla. It was just wonderful staying in a different place. Passeig de Gracia is a wonderful avenue, full of restaurants, fashion shops, and traffic. I surely would go back, but... More

The Oliva Hostal was very clean, central and the building itself was ornate and full of character. However, the room was painfully small, had a window that showed a series of really interesting drainage pipes, and there was an emergency light that I could not turn off that burned into my eyes like laser beams all night long. I was... More

I stayed in the hostel for 9 nights. The first 2 nights I was given a big old suite with 4 beds. Then they move me to a smaller and decent suite, closer to the main street. The room is nice, clean, very roomy. Bathroom is small, but newly rennovated and very clean. Since it is close to the main... More
