We stayed at the MapaMundo for 5 nights. The hostel is located in the Gothic Quarter. Many good restaurants and bars can be found in short walking distance.

Double rooms are quite large. There is heating, a nice kitchen and a clean bathroom. The neighbourhood is Very noisy, you need earplugs on fridays and saturdays. The host is nice as well.

The staircase and... More

Very nice place, excellent place to stay in Barcalona and the staff is lovely. Close to everything. 5 mins of walk from La Rambla and the Metro. I would recommend this place to everyone.
