The room was spacious enough for 2, a station is very close, 24h supermarket (small shop) is right next too. No complaints about our stay and also would like to thank a staff who booked a taxi for us for early morning. He was super helpful. Reception is not 24/7 but they are mostly there when you probably need them. Thanks!

The room was clean, but very sparse on everything else. We had to ask for a TV remote and there was no ice in the room. The patio looked out at a very sad building. The front desk had different directions on how to catch our cab.

Good hotel room without paying for hotel extras
This is one floor of a traditional residential property on a main street in Barcelona. The location is fantastic. Access is granted via an app so you need to have a reliable mobile phone with no battery issues and good bluetooth - take note! No physical keys are issued. Staff were amazing - there is reception onsite most of the day and late into the evening, all speak English and will help you with everything. The room is really big and bed is very comfortable - I had a massive terrace with mine. Rooms are cleaned daily. There is a comfortable desk for working. No fridge in the room. Shower and hand soap and shampoo provided. The only negative point is that there is not much soundproofing - so you hear every noise in the hallway and they hear you - no feeling of privacy. Otherwise, no complaints. I would recommend this place to my friends who are traveling for work or just need a comfortable room without paying for the hotel extras - there is no bar, restaurant, pool, etc.

I will start with the positive - good location and only 15 minute walk to La Rambla. Lots of supermarkets, laundromat and even a cinema nearby. The room itself was terrible. Mould in all the corners and in between the tiles in the bathroom. Dated and old and certainly not worth the $330 we paid per night. Whenever one of us showered the bathroom floor had water everywhere. The lady at reception was lovely and helpful but this is not worth the money we paid.

Spacious, Green and extremely well located
I was very pleasantly surprised by Hostal Live; check-in was a breeze though we had to download an app to open doors using bluetooth; very green - but yet another app on the phone and greater reliance on having the phone, battery and know-how. The receptionist at check-in was extremely friendly and pleasant though unfortunately handed over to a much more disinterested male colleague in the evening. The size of the accommodation was very pleasing, with a comfortable bedroom, huge inward facing terrace and spacious bathroom; very unusual for Barcelona. Unfortunately - and it is always hit-or-miss; the bed was not really very comfortable and felt like lying on the edge of a convex mattress - but then we all have differing needs for mattresses so it's pretty hard to criticise. Overall a very good choice for the Eixample area with good Tapas and Breakfast bars less than a block away. Recommended.

Fantastic stay
This is my 2nd visit to hostal live. New app access is brilliant,no touching key pads all via the open app. We did have one issue,I travelled with my good friend and had requested twin beds,ended up with a double. (We are close but not that close) My friend ended up in a pull out bed and we were offered a free breakfast for the error. We did not go for the breakfast but it was a gesture of goodwill all the same. Room had a fabulous terrace which is a plus point. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I would definitely use hostal live again.

Property does not say hotel is in apartment complex. Hotel is located on the 2nd floor. Tenants were word and would just stair at you. Also, 2nd day there AC stopped working and the staff kept saying the maintenance was going to come tomorrow and it never came. They didn’t accommodate or give us another room. When we would come home at night there would be homeless hanging out in front of the building and they would try to come in. Over all I would not recommend this place at all.
