Hostal Petit Princep

Stayed here late June for 3 nights. Had twin room on the front, nice and bright, with great double glazing which killed the traffic noise. Roomed cleaned when you want, up to you. water stains on ceiling, but for the price didnt mind. Could hear next door, but they quietened when hinted! Receptionist mega helpful. Location was bril. Bus round the corner every 15 mins to las ramblas, subway a ten minute walk. Plenty of cafes and resaurants nearby. Would happily stay here again. Tip, bus outside to university, then direct subway to Airport.

The hotel location is good. It is well connected and the street is good for shopping. Also the receptionists are very nice and friendly. However, as other reviews stated, there is always noise especially during night. There is a bad smell in the corridor. The cleaning service could improve. The room is small, which is okay, but it could be useful to have a shelf in the bathroom and in the shower, since every time I needed to use something (for instance a cream or a soap) I had to keep it in the bedroom and going back and forth to take what I needed. Also, I'd suggest some maintenance. There are spots on the walls that I don't wanna know what they are made of, also on the curtains. The water stains in the shower. I know the prices of this hotel are lower than the average, but given the whole experience I had I would have expected to pay less. I hope you can take this review as a constructive feedback.

Location of the Hostel is quite central, at Diagonal Avenue. The one and only minor point regarding the location is that closest metro station is about 10/15 minutes walking. But there is a bus stop close to the hotel from where you can go to the metro station. (2 stops) The reception was very friendly and helpful. Offered us an airport transfer prior arrival. Our room was nice and clean. (private bathroom) Only negative remark I can provide is that the rooms are a bit noisy (when your neighbor is entering/leaving the room next door) and that there was a sound of 'streaming water' At the end for Price / Quality I can give a 10!
