Very clean and great location. Because of traffic location is a bit noisy but still tolerable. Old couple who are on receptcion in pension are always there, but don't speak english so that can be a problem if you need some basic informaton. Kitchen is really well equipped. Bathroom is renewed and very clean. Mostly satisfied.

Europe is getting way too expensive for my tastes but it can still be done on a budget but nowhere near as cheaply as in days gone by...the Euro is hurting everyone. Pension Alamar combines the cheapest rooms in the best location for those seeking something centrally located. It is in the Gothic area, near to La Rambla, metro, the... More

I've given it 5 stars, I could nitpick and grumble about this and that but............. I only paid 25 Euros per night 3 minutes walk from Las Ramblas! The communications were excellent, Roger replied quickly and accurately to my emails. I took the metro to Dressanes, walked 2 minutes north, turned right down Carrer Escudellers and 3 minutes later you... More

Small hostel in the middle of the Old Town. It was very very very clean (cleaning lady was very serious about it) Wear your earplugs to sleep at night, the street is very busy. The owners didn't speak English, but who cares! Had the time of my life! Beds are a little small though, so I advise to get 2... More

It was an individual room with a shared bathroom, and the rate was 25€/night, and it didn’t include breakfast, because they didn’t provide this service (but there is a kitchen which you are free to use). The reservation is made by email, and you have to pay the full amount of your stay when you do the check in. After... More

....i manage a B&B/pension in St Augustine, Florida and this is a great place to stay. Centrally located in the Gotic district i couldnt have stayed closer to History. i always wonder what motivates a person to leave a bad review besides a bad experience. Did they "really" investigate where they will stay? Do they know what the difference between... More

This is a good, inexpensive hostel in a very good location. Its in the gothic district, and is close top the ramblas, and walking distance to the post and beach. There's good shops and bars in the vicinity, less expensive and with more character than the ramblas bars. Its very clean. The bed is small, but comfortable. There is a... More

For 40 euro per night you cannot beat this pension. Great location, 8 minutes to the Cathedral, 10 minutes to Generalitat, 15 minutes to Picasso Museum, 10 minutes to the Ramblas. It's immaculately clean and well kept up by the couple who manage it for the owner. We stayed 6 nights. Shared shower and toilet but was not a problem... More

Just come back from a week stay here Feb 2012. Roger the owner was really friendly and helpful but the mature couple he has employed as live in cleaners/ guardians were rude and unhelpful. The man chain smoked in the kitchen and TV room (they virtually lived in there so it's pretty much out of bounds) day and night which... More
