Excellent séjour, Le personnel est extrêmement bienveillant, aimable et toujours prêt à aider. Leur professionnalisme a rendu notre séjour très agréable.

This is our 1st time having such a bad experience stay. We were asked via WhatsApp to provide our personal passport info and to pay hotel tax via a payment link in the WhatsApp, it was received well in advance before our check-in. We found this way is very unusual, and due to uncertainty whether the message was from the property , we declined to pay the tax upfront. Then the so-called property staff claimed we disrespect them. I found absurd as we have fully paid our accommodation and told them will fully pay the tax upon check-in, of which it was a small amount as compared to the total 3 nights stay rate. After checked in, we found only one toilet roll is given without any tissue. So we requested for an extra, and becoz the weather was warm, we asked for a thin bedsheet instead of a given duvet. The property staff said need to charge us £50 simply for a thin pc of bedsheet!! We found this is ridiculous and giving us an extra toilet roll, they were unhappy. What is the cost of a toilet roll as compared to the high rate stay of this property as compared to nearby accommodation? They gave us an under expectation unit, with no view (see photo) , which is so much difference from the advertised photo. They objected to change room for us even though we told them the safe deposit box is spoilt on the day after checking in. Goodness was that they wanted us to clear the trash bins to bring it to ground floor on our last day ! I havn’t encountered this at all even in dome AirBnB units. We asked for Trash bags as their bin has not bag, the property staff said they provide no trash bags! So how are we supposed to help them to clear the trash if no bags provided? U expect us to buy trash bag and help them to clean? Totally ridiculous! HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED as the unit is small , odd room layout

Hostal Levante is a very comfortable and well-located place to stay in the heart of Barcelona. One of its biggest advantages is its excellent location. The hotel is situated close to many of the city’s main attractions, which makes it very convenient for tourists. La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter, shops, restaurants, cafes, and public transport are all within easy walking distance. Because of this, getting around the city is simple and saves a lot of time. In terms of comfort, Hostal Levante offers a pleasant and relaxing stay. The rooms are clean, well-maintained, and comfortable, providing everything needed for a good rest after a long day of exploring the city. The beds are cozy, the rooms are quiet, and the overall atmosphere is calm, which helps guests feel relaxed and at home. The air conditioning works well, which is especially important during warmer days in Barcelona. The staff at Hostal Levante are friendly, polite, and helpful. They are always ready to assist with any questions, provide useful information about the city, and help make the stay more enjoyable. Their positive attitude adds a lot to the overall experience. Another great point is the cleanliness of the hotel. Common areas and rooms are kept very clean, which gives a sense of care and professionalism. The building itself has a charming, traditional feel while still offering modern comfort. Overall, Hostal Levante is an excellent choice for travelers who are looking for a comfortable, clean, and conveniently located place to stay in Barcelona. It offers great value for money, a central location, and a relaxing atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona, whether for a short city break or a longer stay.

Good location. The bed is still acceptable if you live for a day. The price includes a free breakfast. The rooms for ladies and men are separate. There are separate toilets and bathrooms. The price is relatively high.

My girlfriend and I pretty much enjoyed staying at this accommodation since it has almost everything you need for a good stay! It has a relatively good location with easy access to the metro and is not too far from the center of Barcelona. It's also surrounded by good and very affordable cafés and restaurants. One thing we wished for during our stay is that there was no kettle, so we couldn't make our own tea/coffee or just hot water. And I didn't understand if there was supposed to be everyday cleaning, because we stayed there for 3 nights and had none during the whole stay.

The hotel's location is quite good, and it doesn't take long to get to some popular attractions. When checking out, if you need to store your luggage, you'll need to prepare 1 euro to use the lockers.

Staff doesn’t speak English so if you don’t speak Spanish, you can use Google translate in your phone to communicate with them. There are two shared bathrooms. They have a pantry (free to use anytime but limited space) with free cold drinking water from water dispenser, hot water in an electric kettle, instant coffee and tea. Plates and mugs can be used too. They will knock on your door if you are making noises after midnight. Tax to be collected at the property can be paid using card. They are located in 1st floor and there is also small lift just for the luggages. Reception is 24/7 so we were able to check out early and leave our luggages which were stored in a closed room near the reception. Location is walking distance near Poble Sec metro station. The street of the hotel is being reconstructed so you can only walk on the sidewalks. Our room was just right outside the shared bathroom so it was really accessible. Felt safe as the receptionist is just there 24/7. Need to press Elkano doorbell to enter the building. Room was spacious for us 3 compared to the other Triple Room we booked during our Europe trip. This was the cheapest stay available during our dates and have mixed reviews. This was a good deal.

The location of the room for us was very poor, the adjacent street was particularly noisy, and the room next to us was renovated on time at 8 am every morning. Fortunately, we changed our room later. Sound insulation is not as good as expected, and I hear the sound of um ah ah every day. But the couple hotel can understand.

We booked a quad room, and the environment was fantastic. The external bathroom was also very clean and convenient. The room itself was tidy, beautiful, and comfortable, featuring one double bed and two single beds. The room was spacious with high ceilings, making it feel very grand and comfortable. We were immediately impressed by the two floor-to-ceiling balcony doors – they added a wonderful touch. Opening the doors revealed a truly lovely balcony with a beautiful view. The surrounding area has excellent public transport links, and we could walk to Casa Batlló and Casa Milà in just a few minutes. It’s very close and convenient to many nearby attractions. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful, and we could store our luggage for free, which was very kind of them.
