The room was a bit disappointing. Painted in institutional colours it could have been a room in a hospital (though they tend to be more cheerful now) or some other public service building. It was cheap though and in a good situation. The shower was effective though we were treated to water pouring through pipes nearby whenever someone above washed... More

We wanted somewhere cheap but in a decent location and this place fitted the bill. It was very easy to get to as it is close to Plaça de Catalunya where the bus from the airport stops as well as the metro. It is also very close to the top of La Ramblas so you have loads of stuff close... More

Anyone who stays in a hotel like Pension 45 has absolutely no right to moan about dust, noise, rudeness or towel size! The hotel is located right next to la rambla. La rambla being the busiest, most popular street this side of spain - yes, you will get noise! The hotel is charming and clean, the reception staff are as... More

Pension 45 is centrally located at Placa Catalunya, from where you're able to walk to most places in the city centre - La Rambla is literally at your doorstep. A metro station is nearby too if you need to go somewhere further away. The rooms are clean and reasonably furnished. The staff is always helpful and speaks English. Just one... More

The really good things about this small pension in Barcelona were its great central location which meant you could pop back and leave things if you'd been shopping or needed a quick break. The bathrooms were spotlessly clean and the showers were really hot and flowed at full strength. The room at the front was quite noisy but we enjoyed... More

Excellent location, very nice service, clean bathrooms, rooms simple but nice. The hostel is located in the center, two minutes from Las Ramblas, walking distance from all the major Barcelona attractions, I am recomending it to anyone! Great service.. the only weak element is that it's not the quietest in the world but you can still get some quality sleep... More

Rude staff, dirty smelly rooms, tiny common bathroom... And pricy too!

Had to go up 1 flight of steps to hotel. Good security. Very close to La Rambla and therefore close to most attractions, Mario who runs hotel was very nice and helpful - eventually managed to get a good flow of hot water for shower after a couple of days. If you have a room at front there can be... More

We stayed at Pension 45 for 3 nights of our 5 nights in Barcelona. We had read that there was noise, but thought it couldn be that bad. <it Was! The <pension is at a convergence of 3 streets that echo, and funnel the noise right into the hotel. <one lady we heard screaming- we went to check her out,... More
