Excellent location that's true, but those rules!!!Me and my partner were staying in Barcelona for few nights, at Pension Palacio as it seemed to be quite cheap and close to all atractions. We needed somewhere to sleep only as we were out all day anyway. I must say Pension is very clean, staff was cleaning 24/7. There are extra costs... More

Plus: clean and in good location. Minus: very noisy (on a high traffic avenue, sirens etc 24/7) - I could still hear the traffic through my earplugs. Tiny room. Rules everywhere (don't do this don't do that!). Compulsory wake up at 9am (whether you are checking out or not). Given the above, 50 euros is overpriced for a bunk bed.... More

Location of this venue is perfect - very close to Port Vell and beaches, close to Barceloneta metro station and Bus Turistic stop. That, however, is its only advantage. Rooms are tiny and there are restrictions and extra charges everywhere. Be prepared to pay extra for bed linen, for towels, for use of kitchen. I wouldn't mind paying if it... More

The hostel is clean and in a very good place. But the other things were just terrible. Instructions and restrictions everywhere...we just heard -do not touch! do not use! do not take! It was our teenagers children's idea to stay in a hostel,as they were told by their friends that hostels are the best places to stay and to meet... More

I have no complaints about this place. I found the staff to be wonderful and helpful with anything me and my spouse needed(just be respectful and friendly and you can bend the rules). I liked that the place was clean spotless at all times. The rooms are small but you don't go to Barcelona to be coped up in a... More

The Pension Palacio was amazingly horrible! My best friend and I stumbled upon this place in the Summer of 2011. We met the owner, Mario, at the train station, he was there peddling his rooms to naive and unsuspecting tourists. My buddy and I were in need of a place to stay and Mario offered his rooms at a really... More

This is a small hostel situated right between the Barceloneta beach and city centre, and thus very suitable both for sightseeing and swimming (or surfing). Very clean - our room was always spotless after cleaning, and the shared bathrooms were always ok. Can't say anything about meeting rooms or possibility for socializing - we stayed very little inside. WiFi is... More

i know its long - please read all! we had to call the police because the owner was so crazy! we stayed there late july 2011, when we arrived to the place we saw a tiny disguasting door with graffiti on it - thats the entrance. we had to go up 2 levels of old stairs (no lift) with our... More

We stayed here in the middle of summer and could not sleep. It was 29 degrees inside the room and 26 outside. Our room was 4m x 4m and the only window was about 90cm x 30cm. This would have been livable if there was air con but we only had a fan and felt this wasn't enough in the... More
