Hostal Elkano Reviews

Heater doesn’t work. There’s no water at all for one night. Wi-Fi connection is very unstable and poor. Staff doesn’t understand English.

Although the hostal is well located, the facilities leave a lot to be desired. The hostal is located on the first floor of an old building, where the original apartments have been adapted and each room transformed into rooms. This way there is no soundproofing, the building's stairs as well as the elevator are in the corridor leading to the rooms and in the rooms you can even hear the building's entrance door. The reception is literally in the middle of the rooms. The place has a fridge and a common microwave, which we only discovered later because no one informed us. As a positive point, we highlight the room's private bathroom, especially the shower.

I must say it was a terrible experience. The photos provided were totally different from the reality and the price of the hotel was unreasonably high and out of proportion to its quality. The front desk staff did not understand English and had a bad attitude. The hotel had no heating system and the quilt was too thin. The WiFi signal was very poor. The only good thing was that there was a subway station nearby. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone. Very disappointed.

A place far from the center but well connected by buses and metro, so perfect to be in a quiet place during your stay in Barcelona. The staff was very friendly to us!

Small room, but well complete with sink and air conditioning. Sheet + blanket just in case.. large window, coffee offered at any time of the day.. I wouldn't talk about the price, saying that a price is interesting would push the owner to increase it. Obviously the showers are shared, but it is announced.

The room is small, for one family. I can’t say it’s cozy, but you can’t rent anything in Barcelona for that price. Therefore, for this price it’s a very good option. Clean, cleaned every morning, towels changed. In the hallway there is a cooler, refrigerator, tea, coffee, kettle. We were a little late leaving, but no one said anything. The staff is nice. The room is stuffy, despite the air conditioning. The beds are comfortable. Shower gels and shampoo in the bathroom.

There were some tourist spots within walking distance and others that could be reached by subway or taxi, so it wasn't that inconvenient. There were several supermarkets nearby, but the laundromat was a bit far away.

Very good experience, the only thing you should check is the door locks, they are difficult to open.

Elkano is a good basic and cheap hostel. If you want to stay near Poble Sec. If you want Luyo this is not for you but you want a basic room without problems you can trust it.

To be honest, it's very average, no isolation, noisy at night, and the facilities are average.

There was no remote control for the air conditioning. You could hear noise from outside the room

Excellent treatment… excellent location for sightseeing since it has line 3 less than 100 meters away and bus stops that take us to the main places in the city… I recommend it

Good hotel and location, service very good

I love this place very central very good area excellent location
