I liked this place for its location and situated in the old buildings. the rooms are not decorated for any category of the hotels. As the same says its a pension villa. But basic amenities are there. Its very noisier during the weekends and i could hear that in my 4 floor room. On the surroundings there are couple of... More

I was a little dubious of the entrance but when I arrived the very friendly and helpful staff showed me to my room and gave me the keys, the room (I booked a superior double) was a strange mix of decadent and basic...the bed was hard but I like a hard bed so thought it was comfy, the balcony doors...

This place is very centrally located so if location is all you care about it may be suitable, however our experience here was not good. We were bewildered that the reception staff insist on you paying upfront as soon as you arrive, then again they probably would rather have your money before you see the rooms. I saw a few... More

A simple hotel located in a beautiful plaza that is close to practically all of the main attractions. The rooms are basic with beds and a bathroom and soundproof windows (good because there can be a lot of people in the plaza until about 4 o'clock in the morning). Overall a basic but good pension because of its view and... More

There are a lot of great things about Pension Villanueva: the location is close to everything and gives you ample opportunity to wander the Barri Gotic in particular; the people who work there are, for the most part, friendly and helpful; and I felt very safe there. I had a spacious room (with a private bathroom) overlooking the Placa Reial,... More

I couldn’t find anything in the Ramblas area of Barcelona for this low price (something like 28 or 30 euros), so I took it! The downside is, it is four or five floors and NO elevator, so you have to walk up many, many winding stairs in a dark stairway with your suitcases! It was also hot, and the air... More

This place is really basic but the location is great if you're planning to be out on the town until late. Rooms were clean with the most basic of beds and a shower that leaked everywhere. The staff were really friendly but insist on everything in cash which can be a problem. Did the job for us as we wanted... More

We staied there one week, and after first looking around I understood that cannot be something worst than this place named pension. The room is very small and smell terrible, the bed is not good for sleeping, the walls full of messages from previouse customers who staied there many years ago. Is a very noisy place where the staff don't... More

I stayed here for 2 nights by myself, while visitng friends in Barcelona. The hostal is very centrally placed in Placa Reial, just off the Ramblas, and handy for the Gothic Quarter. My room was small and dark, with old, basic furniture, but it was clean. I was very pleased to get an ensuite single for under 40 euros a... More
