We booked one night here before moving to an apartment. It could not have been better located for a first night in Barcelona. The concierge was lovely. No English but comprehensible. The room was basic but the beds were clean and comfortable. It has an impressive hallway and beautifully tiled staircase and they looked after our luggage after checkout with... More

The hostel was less than averae regarding the style, furniture and comfort,... More

The Hostal Lausanne might be easy to miss if you don't have the house number at hand. We arrived quite late (around midnight) and were welcomed by a delightful older gentleman, one of the nicest persons... More
