I recently stayed for six nights at the
Hostal Ambos Mudos in the Gothic Quarter of beautiful Barcelona. I was initially a bit nervous when I realized that I hadn’t actually booked into a hotel but rather a hostel. Luckily, my concerns immediately disappeared, as I soon discovered that this was more of a hybrid style hostel with, if I’m not mistaken, twelve completely private, individual rooms, several of which that have balconies directly overlooking the beautiful
Plaça Reial. In short, my stay at the
Hostal Ambos Mundos was absolutely fantastic!
The small staff were extremely polite and helpful in every way possible, the rooms were smallish but clean and modern feeling, the bathroom was very nice with a luxuriously large shower head, and my bed was as comfortable as can be.
Also, of importance in a big city full of tourists and the possibility of tourist related crime, was that the hostel / hotel felt extremely safe and secure, requiring a code to enter the building at the base floor, a code to entry the hostel itself, and then of course, a room code, all of which were the same.
And of equal importance, the front desk is staffed 24/7, so that at no time did I feel that the security of the building was ever compromised.
To be clear, this isn’t a high end, luxury hotel, but rather something quite nice, simple, affordable, and safe. I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to any traveler who just wants a comfortable room in a beautiful part of the city.
