Great location, metro close by but walking distance to many places. Rooms at the front provide fantastic views overlooking the "Royal Square" which can be lively at night. Ear plugs are provided but if you are a light sleeper you may struggle! However if you like being at the heart of everything, then this is the place for you! Rooms are modern, clean & compact but have everything you need and the staff were friendly and helpful. There is no lift (at present) but it's only 2 flights of stairs and you can apparently call the Hostal if you do need help with luggage. It's not a Hotel, so no facilities such as a restaurant or bar but lots of options in the Square, right outside your doorstep!

The staff was friendly, approachable and helpful. When you walk in, there is a welcome area with free Nespresso coffee and delicious chocolate. My room was clean, and cozy, with a comfortable bed and pillows. The location is fantastic, in a plaza full of restaurants with outdoor seating and the plaza is next to La Rambla (street full of restaurants and shops). It's walking distance to the Columbus statue where one of the bus stops for the Hop on - Hop off bus stops. About a 20 min walk to Gaudi's Casa Batllo.

We enjoyed our stay at Hostal Ambos. Cecilia was a rock star. She went above and beyond to meet our needs and that is really exceptional and appreciated. The room was cozy and beautiful. The shower was great. We loved the shower. In general, the room was spacious for two people for being Europe. The balcony was nice with a beautiful view of the Plaza Real. Conveniently located to all the main attractions. Walking distance to reataurants, shops and public transportation. We love the hostal and we'll definitely stay again when we return to beaitiful Barcelona. Cecilia, thank you so much for your kindness and hospitality.

The balcony views overlook an amazing non stop action plaza. This is in the heart of Barcelona and you can see La Ramblas from the balcony. This is truly an amazing experience for staying in Barcelona. We were staying from Canada on our Honeymoon and the staff left us a bottle of champagne in the room and were very very nice. We can't say enough about how happy we were with our stay.

The hostal is terrible we needed to walk up through the stairs four floors with the baggage. Area unsafe, very old and smell so bad. The only good thing was the location. I would recommend to look some options around that would be much better at the same or better price.

We had a great stay at Hostal Ambos Mundos! We were right in the gothic quarter surrounded by tons of shops and restaurants, with La Rambla right down the street. Everything was walking distance for us including the beach and Gaudi buildings. As for the hotel, it was very cute and cozy with a friendly staff. Also the property is staffed 24/7 so we felt safe and without fear of being accidentally locked out. Despite being in a very central area, our room was super quiet and we were able to rest peacefully each night. Keep in mind there are no elevators but that was not an issue for us!

check-in was a bit wonky as it requires WhatsApp to check-in. I guess for us that did not have WhatsApp, it was messy. We had to download the app and even then it was not seamless.

Property feels new. Entry is a common one that needs to be remodeled, but once you are inside the hotel all is good and new. Try Ocana, the Drag Queen host/mangers are a hoot. Tapas there and everywhere in area are amazing. Sangia amazing at Ocana’s also.

Highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Barcelona! It's located in the Gothic Quarter steps from shopping, dozens of cafes and restaurants, and only 2 blocks from Mercat de la Boqueria! It's also very close to transit - we took the train from the airport and it dropped us off a 4 min walk away. I always felt very safe leaving things in the room, as well as walking around near the hotel even into the wee hours of the morning. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - and all spoke fluent English. The front desk is manned 24/7 and there are pin pads to access your room with personalized codes for each guest - and even an online link that will unlock doors with the click of a button. There was free water available in the lobby as well as fruit and snacks like muffins. We got to the hotel a few hours before check-in in but they had our room ready early and let us check in. Like most buildings in the Gothic Quarter, the hotel building is very old so no elevators. If you have lots of luggage be prepared to carry it up a few flights of stairs. The inside of the hotel is beautifully newly renovated tho! If I ever come back to Barcelona I hope to be able to stay here again!
