Amazing cozy place for travelers, the room has everything you need for a pleasant stay. The personnel is friendly and always greets you with a “Hola”. The facilities and the room are cleaned every day. The fact they give you breakfast is a plus, don’t expect a fancy buffet but if you go on a budget-trip, the food they give you there definitely saves you from spending money on breakfast outside and let me tell you, food in Barcelona ain’t cheap, so having the breakfast there help.
The place is located in a beautiful neighborhood and at least 20 minutes away from the main touristy places (if using the city bus or metro which both options are so easy to use if it’s your first time, which was in my case), it is at 3-4 minutes walking distance from the Arenas Mall/Plaza España which is super convenient and from there you can find the metro station or the bus stop that will take you anywhere in Barcelona.
The only “downsize” of the hostal itself will be that the rooms are so close to each other and not sound isolated that you can hear the other guests snoring (that was funny), but overall, it’s not a bad thing.
I highly recommend Hostal Baler, will be going back to Barcelona at end of the year and definitely I will stay again here.
