Hostal Sans

We were pleasantly surprised, probably because the name Hostal suggests something less in Australia. Modern looking place with a clean and comfortable bedroom and a good bathroom. Wouldn’t want to stay in it for a week but perfectly fine for a couple of days.

The room was modern and well-equipped, with a powerful shower and a very comfortable bed. An extra blanket would be useful, as it was a bit cold at night. The hostel was quiet at night, though earplugs might help in the morning due to traffic noise. I stayed one night for work and would return. WiFi worked well, though I didn’t test video calls. There’s a chill area for working after checkout, which I enjoyed. A kettle is provided, but no tea bags. Plenty of breakfast spots nearby, and the train station is a 10-minute walk away.

Exactly what I expected, and maybe a little better. Clean, comfortable, with all necessary facilities. They provide good accommodation at a reasonable price in a good location. Two metro lines practically at the front door get you to the tourist hot spots in 10-15 minutes. Walking distance to Sans train station. Many shops, restaurants, bars convenient. My room had a/c and heat, although I needed neither. Plenty of plugs and very good lighting. My only slight reservation is that the walls are very thin…you can practically participate in next door conversations.

The area is good, located a few minutes walk from Sants railway, and with a metro stop just a few yards away. There are plenty of bars & restaurants nearby, as well as a main shopping street. 20 mins by foot to Nou Camp stadium. The rooms are small, but clean and well kept with clean white linen and hot showers The staff at 24h reception were helpful and friendly.

Quite a large room with a great city view (and perfectly clean windows). Very clean, very friendly staff speaking good English. It has central heating, and after some other places in Spain it was surprisingly warm in the room. After the checkout we had a full day in Barcelona, they let us leave our bags in a locked safe room, and in the evening we could spend any time we needed in a cafeteria — large space with kettles for hot water, some vending machines, microwaves and no people, which was especially satisfying after a day in noisy city.
