Beautiful stay at Hostal Pobelnou. I loved this accommodation. Great location, super friendly and helpful staff. Next to one of my favorite restaurants in Barcelona, Blu Bar. The hostal is a calm, quiet environment. The neighborhood is a vibrant celebration on the weekend. Comfy bed, really nice shower, quiet yet poweful a/c. The terrace was a dream, so delightful having coffee outside each morning. The sweetest cat came and joined me for my coffee.

Just in general the rising prices of staying in Barcelona, this was surprisingly one of the more affordable options. But I understand. <3

Very stylish B&B in a beautiful historical building. Everyone who works there was super nice and such amazing people. The room was just like they show in photos. Absolutely lovely. Cleaning was everyday and the room was kept spotless. In the common room you have an access to coffee and home-made lemonade, to my opinion the best coffee in whole Barcelona and I could never have enough of the lemonade as well. So refreshing. For breakfast, 10 euro, make sure you try their caramel pancakes and the avocado toast. 🙂 I have stayed for 8 nights, to attend a course at the university and be able to enjoy the seaside in the evenings. Great connections to the city with Metro line or bus, no problems commuting. Plus evenings enjoying the sea and Rambla del Poblenou. Wifi connection was fast, no problems using my laptop for studies.

A bit noisy from the street but they were so kind to provide me earplugs for free! And despite the little noise, I would probably book again this place for the next stay.

The hostal is a great place! We loved everything about it- it is full of nice thoughtful details and it is super cozy. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The hosts were super friendly and nice, they attended everything we asked them and more :) The neighbourhood is a bit outside the center itself but we loved that because it is super calm and nice! It had lovely bars and restaurants with decent prices, it is 5 mins away from the beach and metro takes you to the top center in 10mins, so for us the location was perfect!

The only thing that could be disturbing in the mornings are the thin walls because you hear everything but since I have lived in Spain I can assure that is a totally Spanish thing and will happen everywhere :) it was not a problem from the hostal itself :)

My friend and I loved our stay at Hostal Poblenou. Mercedes and Anna were so warm and welcoming. They were also so helpful whenever we needed anything! Thank you. We really liked the room. It was quite spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We really liked the communal areas too, especially that sun terrace for enjoying some food and the complimentary coffee! We loved the Poblenou area as it had lots of food & drink options, and it was really nice to walk around. We both like walking so we walked to see the Sagrada Familia and other attractions in the centre, but Hostal Poblenou is well-connected by public transport if you prefer not to walk. Also, the beach is easily within walking distance.

Nothing!

I had really good experience while staying in this place. Nice hosts which made me feeling like I was a guest at their house but not renting an apartment. About the location - I cannot think of better - very close to the beach, situated at the Rambla del Poblenou. I loved this street - full with restaurants, cafes and shops but at the same time not too crowded. About the room: it had additional freebies - towels for the beach provided by the hostel, tea packets, coffee, sugar etc. As overall - I highly recommend!

The room colors were different than the ones I met there. I liked much more the ones presented on the photos. It is not so big issue but more as recommendation.

We liked everything but particularly the way the staff make you feel at home and welcome. They also have lovely small terrace from where you can enjoy amazing breakfast prepared with love and care and freshly made every morning by an extremely kind and skilled lady. Also the location is really convenient. It is very close to the beach and ten minutes walk to the subway.

Nothing

Very clean room, with excellent bathroom/shower area. The hostel is generally extremely careful of little details and creates a feeling of staying at home. Breakfasts are gorgeous. Location is perfect for enjoying the Poblenou area, and the beach. Personnel is super gentle, nice and helping, reflecting the magic atmosphere of the hostel.

Really nothing.

the room was very clean, spacious room, comfortable bed. locatio is a little bit outside the city center but great part of the city close to the beach and there a lot of restaurants and cafes nearby.

the doors and windows are quite tin so you can hear everything that happens in the hallway or on the street if you get the room with the street view. doors are quite loud when you have to close them. if you are light sleeper this is not really good for you :(

Mercedes is the most welcoming and kind host and the location is very convenient (right next to the Rambla of Poblenou, 10 min walk from the metro Llacuna and even less from the beach). The place is safe, clean, comfortable and charming. I absolutely loved the attention to details: clean, reusable glass bottles are available for guests at the reception to be filled with fresh water and brought to the rooms free of charge, she also installed a cool system of door locking that can be easily handled through your smartphone, so if you're anxious like me to loose your keys around, you won't have to worry about that at all :) I had the pleasure to have breakfast in the terrace: the price is a little expensive but totally worth it, you can choose among different menus and everything is prepared with great care (strongly suggest the cinnamon lemon crepe, delicious!). Also the terrace is cosy and beautiful, I hardly found the will to leave! Additionally, Mercedes will text you few days before your arrival with the self check in instructions (smooth!) so you'll be in contact with her before day one. She's always accommodating and available, every time I had a question, she texted me back in a matter of seconds. I had the perfect solo travel, and I'm very grateful!

No complaints!

The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The room was comfortable with a good bathroom. Beach towels and bags supplied was a nice touch. It is five minutes walk to the beach.

I would have liked a fridge in the room and a table/surface to use. But I liked everything.
