We stayed at Hostal Centric two times, before and after our cruise. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, especially Albert Guijarro at the Front Desk. Great safe location, several restaurants around the neighborhood and walking distance to most places such as La Rambla, Placa de Catalunya to mention a few. Very clean rooms, bathrooms and comfortable beds. Reasonable rate and pay when you stay. We will definitely stay at this hotel again when we visit Barcelona. We highly recommend the hotel!
