Greetings -

First time caller, long time listner.

Am looking to visit Barcelona in May, and have decided on the Hostal Goya . The debate is whether to stay in Goya (cheaper) or Goya Principal (more expensive). Price difference for two doubles (both without bathroom - fully booked ) is 22EUR / night.

Does anyone have any experience at either the renovated / non-renovated sections of this Hostal. Is Goya Principal worth the additional expense?

Thanks in advance!

Haven't stayed there, but I'm also staying there in May, so I'm curious to see if anyone will respond. The pictures on their web site are from the renovated section; I would hope that the renovated section would also be soundproofed, which seems to be a big plus in some European places. I went with a renovated room, but I'm a 53 year old, so I tend to want things a little better than the younger crowd.
