Estimada Carmenza, lo sentimos mucho que Usted no ha sabido elegir bien el hostal. Pues ha querido reservar en nuestro hostal pagando en tres personas 80 euro al dia incluido desayuno, y pretendia un hotel a 3 estrellas. Pues un Hotel a 3 etrella en Barcelona en el año 2022 costa como minimo 200 euro sin desayuno, Ademas usted es la unica que se ha quejado de nuestro muy muy rico desayuno que vendemos al publico de la calle por 10 euro a persona. Usted no ha leido in ningun momento como funciona nuestro Hostal y no hay ni un hostal que cambia las sabanas...y si solo usted comunicava con el personal, pues habia podido hacer uno esfuerzo. ...que tenga buenos dias

Dear customer. We are really sorry that she didn't have a good experience. He is very strange about the lack of cooperation of the staff of the hostal, when everyone speaks well of their friendliness and availability. There has certainly been a misunderstanding. We will speak to the staff. Thanks for writing it. But as regards the criticism of costs, he must publish the criticism directly to the web he used and not to us; as far as the air conditioning is concerned: they are autonomous for each room, and if you have used the "sleep" mode it is normal that it switches off in the night.

Lots of hidden fees. For a small dog I paid 100€. For all our travels it was the most expensive payment. Some hotels did not ask for an extra charge at all, some no more than 30 € for more days. But this is just terrible. The owner is rude and unfriendly. Everything is forbidden, a lot of rules. But at the same time, the condition of the hostel and cleanliness do not match. Also the owner took a 200€ deposit and didn't return it. Walks away from the answer and does not try to solve the problem. Although I am a very neat person and the room was in perfect condition. I do not recommend. For this amount in this area you can find not a dirty hostel with a bunch of extra charges, but a normal hotel with good service.

we are sorry to see that there are still people who use this very important world communication medium, to convey their frustrations, contaminating the reality of the structure.The customer in question has not read all the information about the hotel and the fees to pay. He also didn't advise to come with a dog. Comes from russia and just wants to speak russian, arrives outside reception hours, etc etc. He enters the cafeteria with an almost abnormal arrogance, treating the reception girl badly, and right at that moment there was the master: the master in no case, in no case, allows the lack of respect for the staff. The customer is not always right. Respect first of all. the guarantee of 200 euros has been unfrozen, but the person does not understand and thinks that we have withheld them. Cool!!!!

Dear thanks to write your opinion and as we are in democratic way, we write the real true: first point you did not read nothing about your reservacion. You arrived after check in time when the hostal was closed and we acept you just because we like to be lovely. The check in online is obligatory but us you are really arrongant ( that is the opinion of the receptinist) you did not make check in online. About wrong room, was just a missunderstanding and the error has been fied in 2 minutes. we hope next time you go to sleep in hotel and not in hostal

Lovely surprise. Family friendly
We had to re arrange our flights last minute so we cancel our booking somewhere else. We end up selecting this hotel due to its location, but we were a little bit worried as we travel with a child and pregnant wife, so some commodities are essential. We end up having a great stay. The location is ideal, close to all atractions, walkingg distance to the storic center. The area is full of cafes and supermarkets. The bus stopo for the airport is just around the corner. The staff is incredifly friendly and accomodating. The did everything to make our little one feel spoiled.The service at the cafe is spotless. Very warm people. The breakfast was complete and served with attention to detail by the lovely girls receiveing you every morning. They spoiled our little one everyday. The rooms were small but complete, a little bit noisy because ours was next to the street. Nothing some earplugs cannot fix. The bathroom was outside, and we knew it, but it is kind of uncorfortable to reach in the middle of the night. They are also incredibly petit. You can barely fit there. That would be my only remark as the shower was perfect. The kitchen is clean and confortable. We used only once, but it has nice ambience. Overall we had a very good stay and end up being surprised by the attention of the hotel. They made it very family friendly. It was a good surprised as we had to replan all our trip at the last minute. Thank you

Great spot in BCN
Great hostel. Kitchen is well equipped, staff are awesome, great, central location. Airport bus stops nearby, laundry mat nearby, and many restaurants and grocery stores. I had a fantastic stay and actually added 2 extra nights. The one improvement could be the breakfast-would be nice to have eggs and yogurt rather than all the sugary offerings. Also, need a recycling bin.

Watch out for hidden costs
The room was very noisy and there were many hidden costs written in the small letter. I stayed for two nights and I was charged around 70 euros per night for a single room with bathroom but I had a surcharge of 28 euros for cleaning, use of AC, etc. I would prefer to know the final price I need to pay.

There's a reason it's so cheap...
Hostal Els Angels served the basic purpose of providing a place to sleep, bathe, and leave your suitcase. So if that's all you want and are looking to save money, it's fine. Great location with metro right outside, and within walking distance to the downtown, although the building itself is a bit sketchy and doesn't seem that secure. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Most of all I felt mislead about what the establishment was- online, they market themselves as a "budget hotel", so I was thinking along the lines of a motel. But it turned out that it is a tiny, plain, hostel, so please be aware when booking here. We did have a private room with a double bed and bathroom in the room, but I think it was the only one. The bed basically filled the entire room, so it was hard to move around and there was little room for storage. The door was somewhat flimsy and literally opened right onto reception, so we felt like we didn't have much privacy. The shower in the room was arguably the worst part. The stall was barely big enough to stand in, and in the normal movements of taking a shower, I was constantly bumping into the knob, which would radically change the temperature or even turn it off. The detachable shower head was fastened very low, and would barely stay attached to the wall, so it was constantly flopping in the wrong direction and falling off. Hand soap was provided, but not shampoo or shower soap. A sign on the door said we needed to be out of the ro

Helpful host, good location, room condition is ok
Hotel location is very good, very close to metro station and main street. Good neighborhood, there are many restaurants and some small supermarkets closeby. The hotel host was very responsive and helpful. We were there for 2 nights and were arranged to get our key to check in at late night after the hotel's working hours. The room is old (kind of rusty), the floor is not very clean and sound isolation is close to zero, you can hear doors of other rooms open and close. Still very acceptable if you only need a place to sleep at night. Definitely not recommended for those who want to spend time in the hotel.

Perfect Location & Great Service!
This place is in heart of the city. The front desk person Nuria is extremely good. She offers great service very helpful, it is a delight if you are traveler in new land w/ no local language and need some local understanding, including tips etc. Few good things to know: This is walking distance from many tourist attractions and lots of places to eat good food at reasonable rates. This place is walking distance from Plaza Catalonia which is the starting point of all hop-on-off buses. So really a good location. The room we took had private bathroom included. The room was small and had some smell of fungus or unused room when we first entered. After turning on the fan it wasn't there and may be we got used to it. We stayed 2 nights and it was comfortable. We practically just took shower & sleep and were mostly out in the city and came back for sleeping. The beds were comfortable. So for the price we paid it was 10 on 10. There is a small cafe just outside this place for a good breakfast and coffee. If you are reading this probably you care for my advice. So please feel free to take it and stay at this place. Just for reference - keep the money you paid context in your mind and it will be a delight of an experience. If you expect a 5 star hotel, you might be disappointed but if you expect a reasonable hostel for just sleeping over, you'll be delighted with the place for its comfort and location.

This is a great place to stay! For those looking for a practical location, clean and comfortable living quarters, with helpful people available to assist if necessary, this is a perfect place to stay. My wife and children stayed here for two nights to visit Barcelona, and it worked out perfectly. The metro location is right on the corner, and it is located in a nice location on the Gran Via. You really can't ask for much more. A great stay.

Convenient location, kitchen and free wifi
It is situated in an area with locals, meaning that cheap food is available close by. It's about a 20-25 minute walk to the cathedral and centre, but there is a metro station almost next to the front door. The hostel is basic with small rooms, but is adequate as a base for sleeping, and the staff are very enthusiastic about giving you tips and information - when they are there. There is a kitchen where you can use a hob, microwave, grill and fridge, and an area with dining tables. Pots and pans are available too. The bathroom is shared between about 6 rooms as some have en-suite, and there is an extra toilet as well as sinks in the rooms. The bathroom was not particularly clean but the shower worked well. Towels are provided, as is a hairdryer, but no soaps. The rooms are rather hot, which made it hard to sleep sometimes, but there is a fan to try and ease this somewhat, semi-sucessfully. There is a computer which you can use, as well as free wifi throughout. It was also relatively quiet, though this was down to pleasant guests rather than door thickness. It was used by a mixture of families and young people, though as rooms sleep 2-3, you do not get big rowdy groups. For the price, it was well located and I really valued the wifi, kitchen and help, but it could have been cleaner and cooler. Tip: once you have made your booking, confirm with them the sort of room you have booked (twin or double).

We had a really great stay. The hostel is nice an modern and there's a kitchen with a big fridge which is always helpful. We did have to change rooms for our second night though which was fine but the room we moved into didn't have an air conditioner, just a fan so word of advice if you visit in the summer make sure you request a room with an air conditioner over preference of having a shower in your room or it's very hot!

Very basic accommodation. Booked twin room, got the room with three bends - plus TV, small night stand, and the sink and that's it. Only one shower for 10 rooms, two toilets, but I only had to wait a couple of times. Kitchen seemed well stocked, but I did not use it. Location is good, lots of shops and stores in the neighborhood. WiFi was fastest I encountered in Spain and worked great (MacBook Air and iPhone 5) in common areas as well as in the room but other people had issues connecting. Can't beat for the price, very likely will stay here again.

Cheap and convenient hotel for budget travellers
The location is just a 30m walk to the Urgell metro station which will link you to all major attractions in less than 20 minutes. Rooms are clean but a bit small which is still acceptable for budget travelers. There is a shared kitchen with a microwave oven and a refrigerator you can use. At night, you will hear the noise generated by other lodgers on the use of shared toilet/bathroom.
