Ettől rosszabb szállás foglalásom még nem volt.
Szégyen, hogy egy ilyen szállást hirdetnek. Penészes fürdőszoba, mocskos, repedezett falak, az ajtó alja berúgva, az ablak egy töelékes poros zárt részre volt nyitható. Magas belterű szoba a fűtést egy hősugárzó szolgálta volna de képtelenség vele befűteni vele a szobát. Leülésnél az ágyból kiugrott a rúgó. A Hotels.com oldalán feltett képek nem fedik a valóságot. 1 órát voltunk ott míg intézkedtünk és másik szállást kerestünk. A Hotels.comtol a mai napig nem kaptunk választ a panaszunkra. Remélem visszatéritik a kifizett szallasdijat mivel ez egy minosithetetlen hely. Senkinek nem ajanlom meg alvasra sem.

Me gustó la atención de uno de los chicos del hostal el que me recibió fue muy amable. En la mañana siguiente había una chica en la recepción que fue super grosera y en definitiva no tenía ganas de atender mis dudas. No volvería a ese lugar nunca más, todo está muy viejo el baño está super pequeño la calefacción no servía y en sí no creo q debería de tener esos precios muy malas instalaciones.

Pay 10 euros more, stay somewhere else.
I had to book this hostel last minute, the pictures seemed alright but the actual room conditions were horrible. Not one sink on the whole floor, not in the room or in the toilet. There is only one sink downstairs for two floors combined. No toilet paper in the toilets. I stayed in a single room, although it's January there is no blanket or quilt provided except the thin duvet with no sheets. There is only a small electric heating fan in the room.
The only good part was the sheets and the towels seemed clean and staff were helpful although they only spoke Spanish.

Hôtel bien placé géographiquement près des ramblas. Par contre chambre sordide . fil électrique apparent. bestioles remontant de la tyauterie du lavabo. lavabo d un autre age . murs jaunatres non repeint depuis longtemps portant traces de pieds et autre contre le mur . un neon comme éclairage. une demi fenêtre à un battant. je n ai jamais dormi dans un tel endroit. seul le verrou de la porte était neuf. Comment Hôtels.com peut il proposer
ce genre d auberge ?...on a payer 55 € la nuit !!! C était la chambre 217.

Nagyon igénytelen szállás
A recepciós hölgy nagyon kedves,és segítőkész volt,de a férfi váltótársa kiábrándító,modortalan,figyelmetlen volt.kérésre nem segített a repülőjegy nyomtatásban,egyszerüen elfordult tőlünk. A szoba rideg,egy ruhafogas ,.törülköző tartó sem volt,4 személy részére 2 szék volt csupán.Egyetlen előnye a központi elhelyezkedés,.közel a buszmegállóhoz.

Extrem dreckig und alt. Wir haben ein Zimmer mit Schimmel an der Decke bekommen. Der gestankt war unerträglich. Nachdem wir uns beschwert haben bekamen wir ein anderes. In beiden Zimmern waren die Bettwäsche benutzt und nicht gewaschen. Haare verschiedener Menschen waren auf dem Bett. Die Wände waren exrem hellhörig. Einmal durften wir die lauten Gelächter und Gespräch der Putzfrauen bis 04:00 Uhr ertragen müssen. Alles war einfach nur wie ein Albtraum!! Tut euch das nicht für ein paar Euro an.

el Hostal es economico porque es viejo, y hay un baño unisex compartido para el resto de habitaciones, es bastante frio ahunque hay un calefactor, se oye mucho los ruidos. En recepción hay una trabajadora que no coge los registros de donde deja el secador por lo que me dijeron que no sabian donde estaba el secador, con el pelo mojado en invierno... la amable limpiadora me lo encontró pero se lo dejaron a otra clienta antes que a mi porque no sabian si yo todavia estaba ahi, como me iba a ir con el pelo mojado y ese frio. Me molestó mucho, una hora y pico sin poder irme, con el pelo mojado...Es importante saber donde tienes el secador y hacer bien tu trabajo, coged bien los registros por favor. Por culpa de tonterias como estas yo me resfrie. Prefiero pagar 20/30/50€más y evitar todo esto.

Posizione ottima ! Ma la camera non la si può definire una camera doppia !! Minuscola e direi fatiscente ,letto ad una piazza e mezza attraccato al muro sporco ! Aprivi la finestra X far entrar aria ed era meglio chiuderla ! X aprire la porta ti dovevi far il segno della croce sperando di non rimanere bloccato ! Bagno in confronto immenso , anche se l’asse del water era decisamente da cambiare . Io non soffro di claustrofobia ma posso assicurare che lí dentro mi sembrava di soffocare !!
