In general is this hostel OK. There was one thing that disturb us: the place to use the washbasin was much to small (above the lavatorypan!). However in relation to the price I will recommend this hostel.

Hotel is located in an Excellent location, in the middle of La Rambla with few steps to metro station. Small rooms and kind of thin walls. Good option for young group, not recommended for families

Very clean hotel on a perfect location. Staff is very friendly. I would definitely go bak to this hotel and recommend this hotel to friends because it offers good value for money.

I haven't arrived to Barcelona that I already love this hotel. I need to organize a romantic night with my girlfriend, and sicerely, I've been helped a lot already. I'll tell you later if everything was exactly as I expected, but I can tell you now that they're dedicated to satisfy you! I thank the person who took care of... More

It's the third time in a row that I've been to the Mare Nostrum with a group of students and I will definitely return again! The location on the Ramblas next to the... More

I loved that place the people where very helpful going out of there way to help us in any way possible. May be the rooms are small but so well locatated we did not mind. Having our breakfast looking out on the Ramblas was a delight that I was not even expecting in a such low cost hostal.

Friend and I stayed here and got to experience 3 different rooms due to issues with the first one. The shower door was not containing the water from the shower so it was flooding into the room. Other than that the experience was fine overall. Location is what this has going for it. Super centrally located. Beach is an easy... More
