Hostal Rambla

Location

Bed comfort

(1) I find the location perfect for my husband and I. It is still in zone 1 of the transportation system (same as central Barcelona). The property is less than 5 minutes walk from train station Sant Boi and location is very good less than half an hour from the El Prat airport by bus L77 which cost only 2.20 euros per person (L77 airport bus does not accept Barcelona travel card). It is also less than half an hour to metro station Placa Espanya (main and central Barcelona station) which also cost only 2.20 euros per person (train accepts Barcelona travel card). After a touring around Barcelona's main attractions and the hustle and bustle of the city, we always look forward to returning to our quaint and charming place of stay where there are also interesting places to explore and good eating places with very reasonable prices............ (2) Our room and private toilet and shower look newly renovated, very clean and spacious. It has a daily cleaning room service (but you can opt not to be disturbed by putting the sign on the door). Good aircon, wi-fi, tv, wardrobe, safe deposit box, clean towels, hair dryer, toiletries shampoo and liquid soap. It has a Juliet balcony and two biggish windows which let in plenty of natural light. As our room is on the 3rd floor overlooking the square, we have the drapes open and just have the net curtains as screen.............. (3) Rates are reasonable as the property and room are comparable to Travelodge or Holiday Inn but lower priced only due to the absence of a 24-hour reception, fridge and tea making facility (but we were provided a kettle in our room on our request without any additional charge)................ (4) Staff are very friendly, cheerful, polite, helpful and accommodating.

As earlier mentioned on what I like (3) Rates are reasonable as the property and room are comparable to Travelodge or Holiday Inn but lower priced only due to the absence of (a) a 24-hour reception, (b) fridge and (c) tea making facility (but we were provided a kettle in our room on our request without any additional charge)......... I am putting the three things (a,b, c) mentioned in case some guests would find these a problem....... Although we did not have trouble at all checking-in as we arrived within the check-in time informed in the booking which is from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 16:30 to 22:00 (after 10pm check-in is not possible). As we were given a card after check-in to open the main door of the property and our room, we are able to get in and out at anytime from thereon.
