Hostal Pensio 2000

Our room looked right onto the Palau de la Musica, which was a lovely surprise. Although the palace is so close you might expect noise, the heavy windows shut it out well. Water in the room felt a bit precious, but the owner was so helpful that it more than made up for that. The location, right across from the Palau de la Musica, is excellent.

The owners are friendly, and there’s free coffee and muffins. Try to arrive before 6 or 7 pm, since there may be nobody there later. My room was clean, though the bathroom’s electric pump was pretty loud. The hostel is on the second floor above a music school, so you can sometimes hear students practicing during the day.

You can walk just about everywhere from here, and it felt like I was right in the city center during my two-night stay. The place was very clean and had a friendly atmosphere. At this price, I wasn’t expecting luxury, so putting up with some noise from the bathroom and neighboring rooms felt like a fair trade. I’d recommend it if you want to stay in the city.

The room was clean and everything was in order, and you can’t beat the location. Our host was also very accommodating when we arrived late to check in. I’d recommend staying here.
