PENSIÓN Colmenero

Pros: You get what you pay for. A small room in the city center with shared bathroom.

Cons: Can be cold at night.

Pros: The location is excellent, only on the weekends it can get noisy, but you get everywhere so easily. In front you have a wonderful chocolatería for your breakfast, and the host Rosa is great. It has central heating, which is great for the old town in Barcelona!

Cons: The heating could be more extended, as it was cold in the morning and afternoon.

Enjoyed my short stay in this Barcelona's place

Pros: I liked the feeling like staying at Granny Rosa's home more than some rented room. Old lady that is hosting you doesn't speak English but she has a good heart and you can feel it even without some deeper conversation. I do speak Italian as well beside English and my mother talks, and I have some basic knowledge of Spanish so I didn't any have trouble understanding all the information I needed and she gave me. The place is well located and easy to find/reach. And it was clean and safe which is basically the most important for me.

Cons: The good location brings also some noise. Since this is quite touristic area, with lot of bars and restaurants nearby, you can hear people singing or just loudly talking even late in the night. However I don't have problems to sleep even when it is noisy, but if you do then I would suggest to search for different part of the town, less touristic and a bit further from the city center.

Private room in the heart of the city.

Pros: The location was great, the bed was comfortable everything you need for a short city stay

Cons: Not sure it's something I didn't like but there wasn't anybody about staff wise you are literally renting a room from an old lady. Did kinda make me feel like I was staying at my grandma's house but I was barely there. And it was a cheap single room.

Amazing

Pros: The host was extremely nice and helpful. The room is very clean. The place is quiet and comfortable. I want to specially thank Rosa for her kindness and hospitality.

Cons: The host speaks a little English. You may use a translator to facilitate communication.

Fun and fiesta weekend. Went great!

Pros: Perfect position. Close to everything in the center. Gentle and available staff. Spotless clean! Muchas gracias!

Cons: Wifi / internet, but it's not really important.

Pros: Property is good, nice and clean but old. Great location. Owner is very nice with beautiful smile.

Great location, great for solo females, minimal but safe & comfy!

Pros: The location was great, everything was very minimal but pretty much exactly what I expected. I didn't spend much time in the room, but seemed to be clean, area was safe & I slept well.

Cons: The owner was very sweet but didn't know any English at all so I had a really hard time checking in since I also don't know Spanish. Some people might not like the noise, but I had no problem with it & loved the location overall.

A classic Spanish pension - no frills, real people

Pros: A classic simple pension. It's a step above a shared room in a hostel -- here you have your own space -- but more than that, you feel like you're really visiting Spain. Be sure to be precise about when you are arriving to assure the host is there to let you in.

Pros: Rosa the lady owner or manager was exceptional, she was the highlight of Barcelona. Warm charismatic elder woman who thoroughly attended to any question with a smile. The room was spacious, clean(daily) with heating and an air-conditioner and balcony(fresh air). The bathroom was seperate and was shared with other guests, down the short hallway. Location is perfect, walking distance to many tourist attractions, shops and eateries. Building has intercom at street security door, security camera once inside and steps to first floor.
