Hostal Lami

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! It offers excellent value for money and is in a very convenient location. Most tourist attractions are easily accessible by train, and the public transportation is so efficient that there’s no need to take a taxi or rent a car. The hostel was clean and well-maintained, and the surrounding neighborhood felt safe and tidy. There were plenty of shops, supermarkets, and restaurants nearby, making it easy to find everything we needed. The staff were friendly, polite, and welcoming throughout our stay. They were always willing to help and made us feel comfortable. The only small downside was the pillows, which were quite small and thin. Aside from that, everything else was great. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for an affordable, clean, and conveniently located place to stay.

I was a bit disappointed with the hostel’s pillows. They were very small and thin.

The wifi service was weak

Cleanliness, location, breakfast, staff, bed, AC.

Would love a minifridge inside the room and something inside the shower to place the soap and shampoo bottles.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. Value for price paid was good. Easy to reach from Barcelona via either the metro or Rodalies followed by the tram to Pont d'Esplugues, then 4 min on foot. Other than some minor missed spots in the bathroom, cleanliness was good.

The property's HVAC system can either heat or cool, but not both. By mid-April they still had not converted to cooling mode for the season but the room was far too hot with the windows closed (29⁰C at 01:00) and too loud with them open (impromptu alcohol-fueled flamenco party). Thankfully they had an interior-facing room which solved the noise issue, but had one not been available we would have been in trouble. You cannot make yourself cooler beyond a certain point, but you can always make yourself warmer. The obvious and inexpensive solution which the property seems to ignore (judging by other reviews with the same complaint) would be for them to add a spare blanket or two to each room and to switch the HVAC system to cooling sooner (and to heating later in the year). This is a shame; I would have rated the property an 8 otherwise. The bedding also could use some work; the pillows were quite flimsy.
