Clean room, small balcony, walking distance to tourist attractions. Small shower stall. Comfortable bed
Gerald, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value in a fantastic location.

This is a family run gem right in the heart of the city. It will not be beaten on price and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to major attractions and shopping we found our stay there very pleasant.

8/10 Very good

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

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Geertje, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is clean, good beds, hot water, close to everything, and very friendly reception
Michelle, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

You'll get what you paid for. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean, location is very convenient, on a side street near Rambler. No air con, can be quite hot in summer. Rooms are on 3rd floor, no elevator. Not an ideal location for seniors or family with small kids. At night, the area is a bit noisy and you might not feel 100% safe strolling around.
Mei Chi, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
Erica, 1-night trip

8/10 Very 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

2/10 Poor

Wouldn’t return

Had a weird smell from walking in the door, very run down and no air con (not ideal in summer). The street it is on smelt like urine.
Ella, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

We did not stay. The hostal's front desk is on a 2nd floor, no elevator but the escalator was acceptable. To go to the room we were assigned to, there was a narrow and uncomfortable escalator. There was no A/C in the room and no bathroom either. On top of all these inconveniences the area was bad an extremely unsafe. WE DID NOT STAYED AND ENDED LOOSING THE MONEY
Danny, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location was great and the staff were very nice, welcoming and helpful. Reception was open 24/7 and cleaning was comprehensive. The room was quiet, clean and kinda small but works very well for two. Bed was large but kinda hard. Overall we liked our stay and would recommend this hostel for Barcelona visitors. Only minus side is there's no lift, so if it's hard to climb stairs you should reconsider, but if not, please go to this hostel! Greetings from from Finland!
Tero, 5-night trip

8/10 Very 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
SM, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It is situated in a continent place, easy access to everything, the metro station is just around the end of the alley,and the staff are friendly, showed me the way to get around to the bus stop.
Li Mei, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, good position, friendly

A clean guesthouse in a good position just off the seaward end of La Rambla. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Even though I cannot speak Catalan or Spanish, and they did not speak English, we managed to understand each other!

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.

Room and washrooms were kept very clean. Shower had some issues with hot water cutting in and out
Brent, 3-night trip

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.
