Hostal Palermo

It had a small balcony.

The bathroom was tiny and there was a very big gap at the bottom of the door, which did not close. The shower was broken. One of the staff members was very unfriendly to us when we asked about the lack of privacy in the bathroom. It is very close to Las Rambla so it was very noisy all night with people, but bottle dumping too. We asked for a twin room but there was an extra bed which made it very cramped.

It’s basic and a good location 20 yards off La Ramblas. Was cheaper than most places around on that particular weekend. It was basically a pit stop the night before getting a cruise at the port 5 mins in a taxi away.. It was clean and okay for the one night. We’re not the high expectation type of people that these comments may be perceive us as.

The room was small and pokey, there are no facilities.Had to literally drag your cases up a staircase about as broad as my shoulders. The corridors the same. They are making progress turning this Pre-hostel into a Hotel however I would definitely not recommend anyone staying here with a disability. I struggled to get our suitcases up the stairs and I’m pretty fit for 59 years old. I feel terrible saying this because the location is perfect but still a 1* I’m afraid.. if you just need a pit stop as we did - go for it. No breakfast available either. Sorry!
