Great stay at Hostal Mare Nostrum! The room and bathroom were clean, the staff were friendly, and the location was the highlight, right in the middle of La Rambla, making it easy to walk everywhere. It's perfect if you're after a clean, comfortable room in an unbeatable location.

A great basic hotel which was a base for us to crash, when needed. The staff were great - special mention to Ivan (He studied in Zürich, in case I misspelled his name!). The location was great and a quick hop on the Metro to take us wherever we wanted to go. Beds were comfortable, and we were left to our own devices. A great place for a city break, and close to Mercator de la Boqueria, where the tapas is delicious and plentiful.

Very nice little hostal in the heart of Barcelona. The staff were super friendly and helpful, especially Claudio. The breakfast was excellent and at a very reasonable price. The only downside was the size of the room. But it didn’t matter that much as you don’t really want to spend your time in a room when you’re in Barcelona
