The location was excellent, a quiet area just next to Passeig de Gracia. Lovely patisseries nearby.
The hostal itself was a very cool refurbished retro-y young-vibe environment with awesome swinging chairs and with sofas. It also has a bar/restaurant which is not included in the price.
The room was very nice and we had a lovely view, although there seemed to be an issue when receiving the key card, as it stopped working on the second day because it seemed to be registered to someone else, but the staff was very helpful and sorted it out. The hand-soap in the bathroom was empty but it was not a big problem because we just used the one in the shower that was nearby. The AC in the room was great for the hot July weather.
Overall I’d say I’m pretty satisfied! :)
