Slightly odd place. It's in a good location, a 2 minute walk from the metro stop Paral-lel which is on line 3, just a few stops from Sants Estacio, and a few more from Les Corts - so very easy to reach the Nou Camp. Walking distance from Las Ramblas, about 10 minutes down the connecting street La Rambla. Thus... More

Hostal Abrevadero is excellent value for money. Make no mistake, it is a basic but clean hotel with friendly, helpful staff. We have used the hostel for school trips on seven occasions now, and fully intend to return again next year. Our students always enjoy their time here and appreciate the helpfulness of the staff. The multi occupancy rooms make... More

We only stayed for a night before flying out of Barcelona. We took the overnight train from Madrid in to Barcelona and arrived quite early at the hostal. We understood and had no problems with the 2pm check in. We decided to leave our luggage at the hostal and do some shopping while waiting to check in. We were then... More

We stayed for 5 nights. I was full of trepidation having read bad reviews about the area, grumpy staff and unpleasant rooms. Was greatly relieved when the man on reception was kind and welcoming! Not all that surprised to find that the room we were allocated didn't have any windows - correction, there were actually two windows, one in the... More

I stayed for 7 nights with my spouse and our daughter(young adult). We were a bit hesitant and unsure of how things may turn out to be. But it was a pleasant surprise! This hostal is definitely ahead of other similar places of tourist residences and hostals in this great city. The external facade portrayed a peaceful and secure environment... More

Positive: Clean Nice hotel-staff Near city Negative: Should be refurbished The staff is not very good at English Thin walls, hear everything that is going on in the rooms nearby..

Stayed here for 4 nights for the F1, does excactly what it says on the tin! Room was simple, twin beds, 3 chairs, big wardrobe, plenty of extra blankets, nice big "door" windows, shower room and flat screen TV. Can be noisy at night, shut the window and it is fine! Looks in a dodgy area, but we had no... More

As a mature lady travelling alone I initially felt it was a bit of a rough area when I saw the strip clubs, but I decided to call it Soho/ Theatreland. I soon discovered that Barcelona has very clearly defined social areas that can change in just a few yards, and I got used to it. The hostal was very... More

Very easy to find on Paral-lel and right by the subway station of the same name. Easy check-in (and leave room keys at reception whenever you go out). Small lift. Building is tall and narrow. Free Wifi, but signal only really covers reception (I could get a signal in my room - sometimes - by opening the window and putting... More
