Hostal Felipe II

Nothing to complain about this hostel. Was very clean, quiet, very good air conditioning, perfect location and very friendly staff. I'm not realy fan of hostels but I consider to come back to this one definetely. Even the shared bathroom was clean all the time

except for the nice guy at the reception the room absolutely doesnt meet the standards: the mattress is layed out, the room is extremely small, outside of the window it stinks, the drain in the shower doesnt work and you can hear a lot through the corridor. would not recommend coming here again!

We had a 4 night stay at Hostal felipe 2. The rooms were really small, they don’t look as big as projected in the photographs. The rooms even though small were clean, the shared bathrooms were also cleaned on regular basis by the Staff. The cleaning lady was very polite and helpful. The reception staff was very helpful and always guided and helped us. One other issue was on one of the day there was a scheduled electric work and the hostal had not informed people or made any provisions, it was difficult 3-4 hours without any power – very small window and no power back up. Would not be recommended

There was a person harassing all the tenants, screaming all night and not letting anyone rest and the hostel did not flinch in doing anything or in making the return of the money that had been paid. Don't stay here if you want to feel comfortable and safe.

I booked 5 nights and left the hostel after 3 nights due to sleep deprivation. You can hear EVERYTHING – guests coming and going and using bathroom and showering at all hours of the night, guests watching movies on their phones, in their rooms, at all hours of the night. Flashing toilets, keys being turned in key locks, AC machines throbbing outside your window. All this with ear plugs already. This place should be used for noise research… Also, there is no heating in the building so beware when you arrive during winter time. Also, there is no kitchen so it’s not possible to prepare meals or even borrow a plate. There is a hot water machine on one of the floors but the floor is locked at night so if you’re unlucky enough to be on the other floor, you can’t even get a hot drink during your sleepless hours. Totally not worth the money since you will get zero rest.

This hostel is located within one of the old Spanish apartment buildings. The actual hostel is split between two floors. The private rooms contain a bed, desk, TV, sink, and dresser. The sheets and towels are also changed every day by the maids. There is one bathroom on each floor and also a place to fill up water bottles since you cannot use the sink in Barcelona. Overall it was a good stay. The only issue was the lack of ventilation that made the room kind of stuffy. There was a window in the room but that still didn’t make much of a difference. However the location is great! It is very close to the Sagrada Familia (walking distance) as well as other great places to visit.
