USA, Apr 2008
Hostal Centric is in the heart of the Eixample district which is close to everything. Within a couple blocks of the hotel are cafes, restaurants, bars and clubs. The metro stations are close by with convenient public transportation. You can walk to see most everything from this hotel. The staff are very helpful and they all understand and speak english well. Good bargain especially with the weak dollar.

The room we stayed in was good, we even had a tiny balcony. The room was clean. The hostal doesn't have a lift and our room was on the fourth floor. We hardly managed to get our luggage to the room. Staff was friendly. At walking distance from Las Ramblas and Plaça Cataluña.

I stayed in a double room and for a couple days in Barcelona. It was centrally located where I needed to be. Wish there was wireless internet available included.

the room was quite noisy throughout the day and the night time - at the time i dont think there were many people staying there but the place was still clean and nice and the staff were nice to me and helped me out a lot. i dont think the price matches the place it could do with being a little cheaper, especially as the room wasnt very big at all and the place wasnt exactly centreally located, although it was off the gran via and 10 mins walk to the centre of the city. as for the surroundings, i know that this place is q very good place for young couples and gay people also as there are about 2/3 bars and a club in the area catering to the gay community...

Buono ma io ho avuto una superior al prezzo della economica e nn so perche', pero'la superior e' proprio bella.Ho visto le conomiche e sono almmeno 8 euro sopra rispetto alla concorrenza come prezzo non offrendo niente di meglio. l'hostello pero' non si presta a sviluppare comunicazione tra gli inquilini ma proprio zero inoltre alla reception su 4 persone che ho visto solo i 2 ragazzi maschi giovani erano capaci e competenti oltre che poliglotti.comunque nel totale mi son trovato bene

The Hostal did not have any lift and stairs were not very new and quite dangerous. Rooms did not have air conditioning and were extremely hot. Noisy people in other rooms. Excellent location, nice people at the reception but not very efficient.

The property is in an excellent location and very close to the metro station. The room and bathroom are very clean and new. There is internet service available in the public areas. I will highly recommend this place for the price, location, and the cleanliness of the room.

the room was just a little small but we managed ok. the heater was much too hot when turned on given that the weather outside was not extremely cold. The price was a little steep but overall, it was made up for by the excellent location - close to the estacio sants and just off a busy thoroughfare with lots of cheap eateries.

We visitied Seville and Granada and paid the same prices for rooms there. This is a much inferior room. However, the location to La Rambla and other tourist attractions/areas was reasonably good--within a 10 minute walk through the smaller streets, 15 minutes on the main roads. The internet access was convenient and inexpensive.

very friendly, helpful staff. very good location. would recommend to friends and would definately consider using again. you had to leave your keys with reception every time you went out which i thought was a very good idea. felt safe.

A lovely place! We had a wonderful stay and would most definitely stay at Hostal Centric again. We had a twin room, with bath/shower. We had come from Paris and Rome, where I had booked the cheapest accomodation that I could find. In comparison, Hostal Centric was utterly luxurious! It's located very close to a number of subway stations - very central. A lovely stay.

I spent a week in a superior double room. The superior is only more spacious than standard but it doesn't deserve the difference of price. The furniture and the mattresses are very old. I suggest some ear corks if you want to sleep because the staircase (wood made) is very loud.

Well located in the heart of the city, this hostal represents good value. It is really just a clean room for the night with no real facilities beyond this. There are plenty of good value small cafe's locally for breakfast. If you want reasonable cost in the centre and plan to spend little time at the hostal other than to sleep then its a good choice

Staff very helpful. Room rather small with very poor outlook to rear of hotel. Reasonably placed for walks into the city centre.

Das Hotel liegt schön zentral, jedoch in einer kleinen Nebenstraße. Somit ist alles, v.a. die Verkehrsmittel u. Sehenswürdigkeiten schnell erreichbar und gleichzeitig hat man doch ein wenig Ruhe vor dem Straßenlärm. Als Beispiel, wie nett das Personal in diesem Hotel ist: mir war beim check-in in meinem Gepäck eine Flasche zerbrochen, der Inhalt eben dieser war im gesamten Foyerbereich. Der Rezeptionist spurtete jedoch sofort los, spülte meine Reisetasche aus, wischte alles weg und hieß mich herzlichen willkommen. Nicht einmal ein böser Blick. Anderes Beispiel: unter anderem wollte ich water world besuchen (Nähe Lloret de mar) und hatte keine Idee wie ich dort hinkomme. Der Rezeptionist suchte die Nummer im Internet, rief dort an, ließ sich alles sagen und schrieb es mir auf. Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Hotel und wer ein einfaches, sauberes Zimmer sucht ist in diesem Hotel genau richtig!

This is OK for a not too expensive place in a city where everyplace to stay (at least in season) is very expensive. But it's nothing to get excited about. We stayed there on two different occasions. The first room was better, had AC, and was in the back. The second had no AC, was in the front, and was incredibly noisy, since you pretty much had to leave the window open to get cool and the street is very busy all night. The staff was great, very helpful, and they had a cheap internet connection, and a secure place to store our luggage until our room was ready. It's conveniently located near two metro stations, and only a 15 min. walk from Las Ramblas. But don't expect too much otherwise. It's just a moderately clean place to sleep and shower.

Very nice. However, the last night was ruined by the guy snoring next door, its not very soundproof at all!

We were very satisfied with our stay at the hostal. It was very close to the famous Ramblas and other important sights. In the neighbourhood were some really nice cafes to have breakfast.

The room was not big, but clean, just as I had expected it. I don't a luxurious place to stay, but a clean place to rest, just like it was offered. So the hostal fulfilled my expectations totally. Altough I think that around 60 € for a room without bathroom is quite high, but I didn't find a cheaper one

My freind and I stayed in Hostal Centric over the grand prix weekend and it was very enjoyable. The Hostal was in a great location near to all the shops and restaurants. The Hostal was clean and tidy and much to my delight and suprise our rooms were cleaned daily and our beds were made! The staff were freindly and helpful and great value for money. I would reccommend the hostel to anyone who is visiting Barcelona and wants to stay in a central location on a budget!

We very much enjoyed Hostal Centric. My only problem was with the tiled step from the bathroom to the bedroom - I slipped because the tiles were wet and hurt my knee which mean't I couldn't go out walking the next day! However I should have been more careful. The style of the room was very Spanish and I wouldn't want to change it!

The room itself was great - new furnishings, plenty of room, always clean. Compared to other hotels we stayed in during our trip, the bathroom was modern and spacious. One small warning - the stairs particularly near the upper floor are old and uneven and therefore, a little perilous when carrying luggage. My only real complaint is that the hotel is not at all central - be prepared to walk a long way to Las Ramblas or the waterfront.

A centrally located hotel within easy walking distance of the major sites. The stairs weren't half as bad as other reviews had led me to believe. The rooms were clean but small. The staff were helpful and friendly. All in all good value for money.

This was the cheapest centrally-located hotel I could find in Barcelona, and it proved a highly satisfactory choice. The rooms were of a much higher standard than I'd expected for the price and were kept very clean. The location was excellant, near a metro stop and lots of good eating places, and was only a short walk from the Ramblas. The 24 hour reception staff were very helpful. A minor quibble is that there was no lift and the staircase was a bit iffy. Otherwise I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Hostal Centric.
