Hostal Raval Rooms

Lo que más nos ha gustado a mi chico y a mí ha sido su ubicación en pleno barrio del Raval de Barcelona, su diseño minimalista y el trato del personal. No tiene nada que envidiar a un hotel, pese a tener categoría de hostal.

La televisión estaba estropeada durante nuestra estancia y el desayuno hubiera sido perfecto con una mayor variedad de productos. De todas formas, ninguna de estas dos cosas que explico supusieron un problema, sólo lo expongo para que lo mejoren, si es posible.

clean rooms & friendly staff

Dodgy location, no elevator so you must hall your luggage at least 1 floor, very small rooms, limited breakfast w/o fruit.

Staff was extremely helpful and kind

Rooms close to the Breakfast area are not good for a quiet rest.No elevator, it´s just for luggage.

Lo que más nos ha gustado ha sido la cercanía del hotel, ya que está a 5 minutos caminando de Las Ramblas. Aunque pensamos que la relación calidad-precio no es adecuada porque no ofrece los servicios suficientes por lo que pagamos. Recomendamos mejorar el desayuno incluyendo algo de fruta y yogures.

Las habitaciones están muy bien decoradas y el espacio bien aprovechado. Además el espacio de la terraza es cómodo para la gente fumadora.

I was not knifed or shot. I didn't have anything stolen.

Where to begin. This hotel is in the worst neighborhood in Barcelona. No, really. My husband dropped me off and circled the area in the car until I checked in and secured parking. Though I had booked online days before, the girl at the desk had no record of this. Though she had open rooms, she insisted I get the confirmation number and had be use a laptop in the office to access the confirmation email. This took quite a while as the computer went down, and wouldn't print like the hotel clerk wanted. About 40+ minutes later, I'd finally gotten checked in. My husband was struggling with parking and didn't know what had happened to me in all that time. After about 45 minutes of standing outside the hotel waiting for my husband, I experienced the neighborhood quite a bit. The staring eyes, the name calling, and the leering. Parking is 30 Euros a day in public parking (the hotel has none). Internet is 6 Euros an hour, and you can only buy an hour at a time. There isn't an elevator for people. Only a lift for luggage--- after you already drag it up 2 flights of stairs. The room is tiny. We are talking 2 twin beds with a 1'x 1' table between the beds. The bathroom was fine, but there wasn't a shower curtain, so water went all over the floor. When I asked about a shower curtain the next morning, I was told that would be fixed. It wasn'T. Breakfast is included. Breakfast includes coffee, juice, bread, meat, and cheese. The end. The number of chair and space to eat is inadequate for the number of rooms available. The guys that checked in right in front of me were checking out with suitcases being loaded in a taxi within 2 hours of their check- in. I heard a couple from Belgium complain about their fear of staying in the hotel/area to the hotel clerk.
