This is in a perfect area for the gothic quarter many quality restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. You have to wait until the customer service person arrives at 8:30 to store your luggage until the room is ready. Checking is easy with text messages through what's app. Please be aware there is no elevator and the hotel is I

Room is small but comfortable and cleaned. The bed is very confortable as well. The staff is real helpful and friendly. The location is excellent. Walking distance to the principal tourist spots. The only thing is a small boutique hotel located in 2nd floor of an old building with no elevator. Staffs was willing to help us with the luggage’s during check-in and out.

The hotel was lovely, the staff were so friendly and went above and beyond to get my room ready early when my flight plans changed. The lovely little touches such as the wine, bag, ear plugs and hand written postcard meant so much to me. The coffee station with daily fruit and muffins was a really nice touch. I would totally recommend this fabulous little hotel and will visit again soon

The room was just what we wanted. The staff were so friendly and helpful, the room was clean and the balcony looked right onto the Plaza. The location is ideal next to La Rambla with easy access to restaurants, bars and shopping. Amazing stay.

Location was fantastic. The staff were so nice. The room was in great shape, just need to do a touch up on the paint in the shower. I appreciate the bottle of wine, beer, water, muffin and fruit. I would recommend your place to anyone visiting Barcelona. Please let me know what other locations you have.

The entrance is a little tricky to find but the staff were really helpful and friendly. We were given an excellent lunch venue recommendation when we checked in. We had three of us staying in the one room (all adults) and it worked perfectly.

The balcony views overlook an amazing non stop action plaza. This is in the heart of Barcelona and you can see La Ramblas from the balcony. This is truly an amazing experience for staying in Barcelona. We were staying from Canada on our Honeymoon and the staff left us a bottle of champagne in the room and were very very nice. We can't say enough about how happy we were with our stay.

The staff was friendly, approachable and helpful. When you walk in, there is a welcome area with free Nespresso coffee and delicious chocolate. My room was clean, and cozy, with a comfortable bed and pillows. The location is fantastic, in a plaza full of restaurants with outdoor seating and the plaza is next to La Rambla (street full of restaurants and shops). It's walking distance to the Columbus statue where one of the bus stops for the Hop on - Hop off bus stops. About a 20 min walk to Gaudi's Casa Batllo.

We had a great stay at Hostal Ambos Mundos! We were right in the gothic quarter surrounded by tons of shops and restaurants, with La Rambla right down the street. Everything was walking distance for us including the beach and Gaudi buildings. As for the hotel, it was very cute and cozy with a friendly staff. Also the property is staffed 24/7 so we felt safe and without fear of being accidentally locked out. Despite being in a very central area, our room was super quiet and we were able to rest peacefully each night. Keep in mind there are no elevators but that was not an issue for us!

We enjoyed our stay at Hostal Ambos. Cecilia was a rock star. She went above and beyond to meet our needs and that is really exceptional and appreciated. The room was cozy and beautiful. The shower was great. We loved the shower. In general, the room was spacious for two people for being Europe. The balcony was nice with a beautiful view of the Plaza Real. Conveniently located to all the main attractions. Walking distance to reataurants, shops and public transportation. We love the hostal and we'll definitely stay again when we return to beaitiful Barcelona. Cecilia, thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.

The hostal is terrible we needed to walk up through the stairs four floors with the baggage. Area unsafe, very old and smell so bad. The only good thing was the location. I would recommend to look some options around that would be much better at the same or better price.

Great location, metro close by but walking distance to many places. Rooms at the front provide fantastic views overlooking the "Royal Square" which can be lively at night. Ear plugs are provided but if you are a light sleeper you may struggle! However if you like being at the heart of everything, then this is the place for you! Rooms are modern, clean & compact but have everything you need and the staff were friendly and helpful. There is no lift (at present) but it's only 2 flights of stairs and you can apparently call the Hostal if you do need help with luggage. It's not a Hotel, so no facilities such as a restaurant or bar but lots of options in the Square, right outside your doorstep!

Great Boutique Hotel right in the heart of the Square. It has a balcony to sit out and enjoy the people watching. No shortage of restaurants around the Square plus La Rambla was just outside. Very walkable to lots of sights in the area.
The staff are very pleasant and helpful.

The hotel is on the 4th floor and there is no elevator so it is very hard to carry the luggage. The hotel is located in the plaza which is not safe. Especially early mornings and late nights are not safety. Be careful!!!!!
