Having just spent 4 nights at the
Arthostal , I thought I'd better write my review.
On arrival at Arc de Triomf I made a quick call to Sacha and as arranged she met us within a few minutes
On the way to the Hostal Sacha pointed out Cafes, bars and Squares with restaurants and gave us lots of local info.
The hostal is just a couple of mins walk from the metro, 5 mins from Picasso museum and 10 mins from the Cathedral .
Downstairs there is a fully equpped kitchen with full size cooker, fridge/freezer washing machine and dishwasher etc
Our room was quite small- though the bed was about 6 feet wide !! -and very comfortable.
Yes the bathroom was miniscule, but I'm not going to knock anyone who tries to make the most of the space and fits an ensuite(more a wet room) in a bedroom.
The door to our room was a frosted glass patio door type and seemed perfectly secure. My issue with the room would be that the blinds do not seem adequte for total privacy- this though was easily solved by hanging a sarong over the blind.
We've stayed in Barcelona several times but this area of St Pere is the best,its charming, with narrow tree lined streets and plenty of pavement cafes- its a real up and coming area, with not to many tourists. We felt totally safe both day and night- much more so than in previous visits when we've stayed nearer the Ramblas.
For 55 euros a night it offered good value. And yes I would stay again.
