According to Tia's post in the " Location, Location, Location thread (I did a search of the message board using, simply, RAVAL as my keyword) and Tia says El Raval is part of BCN's Red Light District. I don't know this to be true or not but....

lmkga says in his/her posting in the " Spain hostal/hotel reviews " thread that a particular hostel is well located in the El Raval district so it seems he/she was happy about the locatiom.

I'm afraid the hotel hasn't been reviewed here yet though. If you stay here, will you pleaes return to this/your thread and let us know how you felt about it? Thanks!
