Hostal Girona is a good place for 2 nights. We have been staying for more than a week, and that definitely was not great. Here are some aspects I'd like to share:
- The accuracy of the room's description is mediocre. We did neither have a dresser nor nightstands in our room which were in the room's description. Apparently the hostel posts a general description of the rooms on AirBnb which for the particular rooms may differ. We asked for a remedy as we were staying 9 nights and did not want to live out of our luggage. At the end of the day we did not get nightstands or a dresser but a plain table was placed in our room which did not offer nearly enough "storage space" for two people as would have been needed.
- Furthermore, the hair dryer was missing as well. It was unfortunate, because we then could use our shower in the room, yes, but still had to wait for the shared bathroom to get free in order to use the hair dryer. So bascically the shower was useless if you think it through.
- In one of the common bathrooms, there was no desinfectant nor hand soap (!!!) present. This was the situation throughout all of our stay. It is not just unfortunate, but in times of Corona a real hazard. The personell which supposedly cleaned the facilities every day either did not care or did not notice.
- You kind of hear everything through very thin walls. And I mean everything.
- Overall still 3 stars because of nice staff and good location in Barcelona.
If we come back to Barcelona, we will probably choose a different accomodation.
