Excellent location, in the Barri Gothic quarter, right next to the cathedral. The building itself is an old tenement with a charming lift. The rooms are very basic, ours was only equipped with a basin and a mirror (apart from beds and bedside tables of course), but they are clean and serve well their purpose. It can be a bit... More

Stayed in Jan easy to reach from underground clean basic rooms walking distance to cathedral old town harbour ect .Lost my wallet whilst I was there and Julia at reception was very helpful. Don't forget to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view. For a budget stay hard to beat.

Great location right in central barcelona, near main tourist sites and lots of great restaurants. Each room has a cute balcony with a great view of the plaza, cathedral, and roman walls. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Bathrooms were perfectly clean especially considering everything was bright white tile. Overall, extremely satisfied with hostel layetana.

HL was very basic. We were willing to put up with the noise from the street below to enjoy the awesome view of the cathedral just outside out window, and also, they had to stay open because there is no AC and it is SCORCHING (we went in July). It is 5 minutes walk from Las Ramblas and the harbor.... More

This is a clean hostal in a good location. I was there during the La Merce festival and the location of this hostal is on the parade route. Metro is next door, and there are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. That said, there is no kitchen and very little interaction between guests. Very boring and due to the layout... More

Stayed here for 5 nights over the Easter weekend with St George's day on the Saturday, so there wasn't much choice for accomodation for a relatively reasonable price (€73/night here, everywhere else was over €150/night). The best point was it's location close to all the old areas. Single room with shared bathroom. The showers had hot water if you were... More

The rooms are really basic, with simple beds and no aircon. Since our room was located with window facing road with traffic it was difficult to have the door open at night due to noise. Overall it was a positive experience with friendly staff (all though not to much of english speaking), clean rooms and location with walking distance to... More

Like the other reviews said, you get what you pay for. I would only book this for 2 nights max. Small bed with no TV. Staff are ok. Had trouble finding the place, no sign in front of building.
