“Great location - Great staff! 🙂”

Just got back from a three night stay at the Guest House Center Inn. Pricing was very reasonable for a private double room in central Barcelona. Special thanks must go to Melina for being so friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again 🙂

“Does the job”

Stayed in Casa Consell for 4 days for Barcelona Half Marathon with a frined. the room we stayed was basic but we found spacious and does the job.

Stayed in Casa Consell for 4 days for Barcelona Half Marathon with a frined. the room we stayed was basic but we found spacious and does the job. Location is very accessible and is walking to most attractions. Has a metro closeby and Plaza Catalunya if taking aerobus to the airport. Use of the dining hall and mini kitchen was handy. Staff were polite and friendly. the only negative comment I can think is the stench when you enter the property. Though they provided a dehumidier or aan electronic air refreshner, the bad smell still lingered. Also, sound proofing can be imporved. BUt other wise, it was a good stay.

“Great "local" experience”

We booked the "family room" , although, there were only two of us. At the time we booked, the price for the family room had a hard-to-refuse price compared to double rooms in other hotels.

We booked the "family room" , although, there were only two of us. At the time we booked, the price for the family room had a hard-to-refuse price compared to double rooms in other hotels. The room was very clean (Kudos to the cleaning staff.) The double bed was comfortable and there were two other smaller beds. It was roomy for European standards. Our balcony, directly overlooking the motorcycles which were parked in front of a restaurant that sits directly below. We expected the noise factor from the outside seeing that we are in L'eixample area after all, near all the sites in Ciutat Vella ( Old City). We also have access to the kitchen and the fridge ( great for storing drinks). Regarding the staff , they were all friendly and attentive. The only con that I can say is the noise from flashing the toilet, using the tap and taking a shower can get annoying. It sounded like water pumps working real hard ( I am not a plumber) . But then again, we are in Spain , not Las Vegas. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to others especially if they have budget, location and comfort in mind.

“Hostel with Spanish flair.”

We chose this Hostal because of its decor. It has the Terra Cotta floors, mosaic tiles in the bathroom, old plaster walls, door and windows from 1890 when built in Eixample district. It was a small room for American standards but, I feel like by Spanish standards it was good. The bed was double and… more

We chose this Hostal because of its decor. It has the Terra Cotta floors, mosaic tiles in the bathroom, old plaster walls, door and windows from 1890 when built in Eixample district. It was a small room for American standards but, I feel like by Spanish standards it was good. The bed was double and not as comfortable as we were used to. However we did not have trouble sleeping because we were so tired each night. The air conditioning was lacking, and it smelled for the first few minutes you turned it on. We had a room facing the strong heat of the day, so, it took longer to cool down. The bathroom was small too. The towels and linens were fresh every day that we requested. They had complimentary shampoo and shower gels. At times during the day we would open the windows and have a breeze and hear sounds of the city. There was a lot of traffic and one night a lot of sirens. There were three restaurants just outside the main entrance. The one across the street was our go to for breakfast and some dinners. Food service, good food, good prices. The staff at the Guest Inn were very nice and accommodating to our needs. They have a refrigerator that you can store food or drink in. And they let you store your luggage if you arrive early or have to check out before you are ready for transport. The location is very central to all sights. We walked to everything we saw even to the beach. Restaurants were plentiful, transportation close by. Would stay there again.
