We just got back from a trip to Barcelona. After reading some reviews, I decided to book Hostal H.M.B. We stayed on the second floor and our room was facing the street (room 112). Our room was decent size and so was the bathroom. After all, this is Europe; room sizes here tend to be small! Like many reviewers have... More

This trip was made in the summer. The temperatures averaged 30ºC (86ºF). Positive points: - This place is really well located. Right next to Passeo de Grácia, which is one of the best places to go shopping in Barcelona. The neighbourhood around the hotel is very beautiful and pleasant to visit. It's very easy to find supermarkets and coffee bars.... More

I have just got back from my stay at HMB and I got really badly bitten by bed bugs. It ruined the stay and the bites were so bad my face and body were disfigured and I didn't want to go out in public. The staff don't speak or didn't want to speak English when I tried to complain and... More

Got a great deal so wasn't expecting much but it surprised us. Staff were friendly and the room was small but clean with a tv and bathroom - just what we needed since we were out exploring Barcelona most of the time. Street noise might be a problem for some people but it didn't bother us.

Travelling with my daughter, I requested a twin bedded room thru Booking.com several weeks in advance of our stay. After a grueling 12 hour travel day, we arrived late in the day to find a double bedded room. After a lengthy pidgin English/Spanish discussion in which the management offered only a take it or leave it attitude, we decided to... More

Having read various reviews of the Hostal, I was a bit apprehensive about noise levels and how basic the facilities might be. I was very pleasantly surprised, then, to find that it is clean and efficiently run, with everything necessary for a short stay. The room was small, with a comfortable bed and an ensuite shower/loo. The room was cleaned... More

great place, very clean! just what we needed, great location. alot of people moan about noise levels however this didnt really bother us and slept well each night.

I was at Hostal HMB for nine nights over Xmas and New Year. I couldn't find anything wrong at all.It was in a residential area so noise was to be expected(it didn't disturb me at all).Although hardly any of the (friendly) staff spoke English ,I made myself understood with my sparse knowledge of Spanish.(Try finding a guest house in London...

At first, I was delighted to have found this chic, well-located, clean and comfy hostal. That all changed when I tried to sleep. The rooms at the front of the hotel are horribly noisy. If you´re planning to have a good night´s sleep, this is not the hotel for you. The staff do not speak English, which, for me wasn´t... More
