This is a very well located, friendly, clean hostel. The prices are high for what it is, but that is Barcelona prices for you! Surprisingly quiet given its central location
Philip, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Very basic, but clean and friendly people, always available to help.
Geertje, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Excellent location, just few minutes walk away from the busy La Rambla Boulevard & La Boqueria Market for food and shopping. Friendly staff, easy check in and out. Great value for the location, have a very homey feel.

Amazing stay
shashank, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

They never contacted us. Didn’t even end up staying there because didn’t know if our room was even still available or could get a late check in. No communication.
Robin, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again.
Jason, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Overall great for a few days of stay, but the water leaked through the wall and onto the room every time we showered. Other than that everything was great

Li Mei, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

There is no elevator and our room is on the 4th floor. If you’re travelling with heavy luggage then this property is not for you.

Hostal River has a great location in the city, very friendly staff and it was a great time off in Barcelona. The room was very basic but you had all the necessities there. The room was cleaned every day and we had no problems.
Hannah, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff were very friendly from start to finish. The room was basic but great and very clean as was the toilet and shower. Stayed with my Son for a 3 night stay. Right in the centre at Liceu, close to everything. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend it.

I would return

Awesome location, clean, new, VERY accommodating. We arrived HOURS before check in. But as soon as the room was clean, we could ck in.
Bonnies, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The price was acceptable. It is only a block from a main street with restaurants, entertainment, and transpartation. It opens on to a back alley and you have to go up 4 flights of stairs to get to the office and then another flight to the rooms.
