Hostal Sans

Location ottima, servita bene, molto competitiva

We were only there for one night only as a connection between the plane and the train. it is a good location to the train station. reception open at night. friendly staff. Our room had a small bathroom. The room was quite small and it was quite cold in the room. vibrations from the subway under the building

This is a perfect location and you can’t beat the price. I had a room with a private bathroom and that’s all I needed for the night. You can hear/feel the trains/subway passing, so be mindful of that. The staff was welcoming and easy to work with. Overall I’d stay there again.

Check in very smooth. Very courteous staff. Easy walking distance to Barcelona Sans train station. Highly recommend this hotel!!

Clean rooms, comfortable beds, nice shower and ultra friendly staff. Location is also hart to beat in terms of convenience. Obviously, given the price point, do not expect a luxury abode but we had a pleasant stay.

We stayed here for four nights in July. We would definitely consider staying here again. It wasn't cheap (considering the distance from the city centre), but it had air conditioning, and the location was excellent - steps from the metro, and in a safe and relatively quiet area. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the pillows were decent. The room had a balcony, which we didn't even notice until the second day. No mini-fridge, unfortunately. Only one lift for the entire hotel so be prepared to wait. The front desk staff were friendly and spoke English quite well. One very strange thing about this hotel was that they forced you to give them the room key anytime you left the premises. Perhaps they've had bad luck with lost keys, I don't know. We didn't mind, but I can't say I've ever experienced that before. I don't know whether this hotel offers a breakfast, as we didn't ask. The TV worked, but did not seem to have cable. We had brought our firestick to plug it in to get Netflix and such, but there was only one power outlet within reach of the TV, and that was needed for the TV. So that wasn't an option. And the Internet did not function at all on the TV, so using that interface didn't work either. We wound up watching TV on our laptop. The washroom was fine, cozy but functional. No laundry in this hotel but there's a laundromat a five-minute walk away. All in all, a good stay.

It was perfect for the train station, but the photos and explanations gave us the impression it was a little better than the average hostal. It wasn’t- it was very tired . The rooms were a little battered. The shower was great! The staff were fabulous

Accessibility to everything.

Thin walls between bedrooms. Forget sleeping unless you love snoring etc plus chats on late night phone calls. Ratio of shared bathrooms to rooms / occupancy seems about 12 rooms per wc. Enjoy the lack of toijet paper, odours and items left in the shower room. First night, of three unfortunately, the lift broke down until next morning. Almost useless thin towels provided. Inadequate staff, especially at night to deal with noisy clients. A positive? Some reception staff were sympathetic. Not their fault. This structure is flawed. Even street noise is remarkable on the 3rd floor. In general complaints were accepted with a knowing " well it's like this". The location is useful for metro and the local eating is good. The bar next door is accommodating and well used to sympathising with hostel clients! As ever one gets what one pays for but if one's idea is to have a long enjoyable day in Barcelona then to relax / sleep in peace. Avoid like the plague.
