Barcelona City Seven Hostal

True review! The hotel is quite far from the Metro and buses. Architectural monuments are 1-3 km away, so you can walk and see them. The entrance to the hotel room is quite convenient with a code. Of course, breakfast saves (boiled eggs, cookies, cheese, sausage, ham, juice). Tea and coffee are always available. It is very convenient that you don't have to wash the dishes afterwards. The room is old, everything is in a dilapidated condition, there is very little space for three people, only the beds and the wardrobe fit. When we asked to change the room to a larger one, the administrator thought that we were talking about towels, and not about another room ((( You can hear the dishwasher very loudly behind the wall. In the bathroom there is a shower, toilet and washbasin.

Very old and neglected room, dangerous sockets that fall out of the wall! Very noisy behind the wall at night!

The host was very friendly and accommodating. Room was good and shared bathroom right near our room which was convenient. In a good location too.

Quite abandunce of bread and ham / cheese and coffee / tea, boiled eggs. Hot water also available. No need to worry about food when staying here, even mid night, I can come out from room and get hot water provided in coomon area. The staff is very friendly and felt like close friend. After I checked out, I kept by luggage in the hotel and he helped keep it safe in store room behind so I can go out and buy something. Then when I came back I saw he moved the 2 beds (like lifted up the entire bed frames to the wall) and was cleaning the room, I was so impressed for such detailed claening. I kept the room quite clean and was not expecting it.

1. The price during my visit was absolutely too high due to the media conference. This is a hostel but I need to pay for Euro740 for 3 nights. I guess the value for money will be much better after this period. 2. The power plug is a bit loose, so my adapter keep falling. 3. Room size not too big for 2 beds, so the TV has to be hanging high almost on top of the wall and I need to look up to watch it, so I turned it off. 4. No place for chair and table in the room, so not convenient for business or working travel. Though there are tables and chairs in the coomon areas and I can use them.

Balcony The staff (amazing)

The thin walls being able to hear shouting and conversation of other guests well into the hours of 2-4am Pictures displayed on booking weren’t accurate of room given.
