Centrally located by El Born, Gotic District, and Las Ramblas.

Lucho is great (place is family owned)

A little older, but great value for price and clean.

Nice place, though a tad too small for 3 guests. However, the location is great as we're located one street away from Las Ramblas and is right smack in the middle of a shopping street. The owner was helpful and gave great recommendations on where to eat.

Could not recommend Pension Arosa enough!

Great location - everywhere is within walking distance or just hop on to the Metro, which is only up the road.

As with any City; be responsible at night and be weary of pickpockets generally (but don't let that deter you, otherwise you'd never leave your house!).

Amenities within the room were just right for us (x3 young ladies); fridge, sink/hand-held shower and balcony overlooking the street!

Communication with staff were perfect and straight forward. Upon arrival (we were able to check-in earlier than stated, so are flexible) we were given an introduction to the place and made to feel very welcome.

I would definitely go back. :)

Nice small hostel, superbly located in the old heart of Barcelona. Nothing fancy but ideal if you're looking for a place just to sleep.

Nice clean hostel. the price was inclusive towels, but we had to ask for it everytime. the owner, Lucho, was a little cantankerous.

Further good to stay in the centre of Barca.

The room was really small, but had everything I payed for: A large bed, a sink and a fridge. I stayed very well here. The location near Plaça Catalunya, the Ramblas and the Barri Gòtic was really exciting and so was Lucho, the man who manages the pension. Furthermore, the price is really nice for the area and for a single room. Would definitely come back here!

It's a hostel at a really good position, right at Plaça de Catalunya where everthing for tourists starts. The manager Lucho is very friendly and kind and if you need anything or have a question he'll be right there ready to help you.

I think the better hostel in Barcelona ! Right on downtown, little pension with small bedrooms and shower in it !! I recommand Pension Arosa for people who wants to visit a city or do the party

Honestly, such a great little place. The owner Lucio really goes out of his way to make sure you're comfortable, he's maybe the nicest person I've met travelling.

I can't imagine a better location, or a better price -as long as you're alright with sharing a bathroom (it was always clean).

A nice hotel, close to city center, in one of the main shopping areas of Barcelona! I stayed just a night there, but I would recomend it for short stays.

We had a two bedroom private room and it had a shower in the room...

the room was quite nice (with a fridge) in itself but we had nearly no ventilation which was a little annoying.. especially when the weather was warm...

The guy who manages the pension is very nice friendly and helpful...

But there is no kitchen and not much interaction between the people staying there...

the owner was very friendly and he speeks good English.

Location is quite good just 1min from placa catalunya, that means it has easy access to el Plat airport.

Inspite of its location, the entrance is too difficult to find. In front of H&M, upstairs of shirt shop.

I thoroughly would recommend the Pension Arosa. I had a grand time. The staff were most helpful and I got a very comfortable nights sleep on both the evenings I was there. Excellent value for money. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.
