Pleasant stay at Mimi Las Ramblas
I stayed here to be in las ramblas. It's perfectly located. I had no issues at the hostal nor outside. I had an individual room with shared bathroom. The shared bathrooms were clean and always available.

The staff, location, and wifi were great but unfortunately, the cleanliness lets this property down. Both the room and shared bathroom were not clean. I had dog pee on the walls which created a terrible smell. Draws and surfaces were not cleaned between guests. Rubbish wasn't cleared from the shower during 6-night stay leading me to think the shower itself was cleaned at all.

Really liked it here. Staff are nice and very helpful. Actually ended up staying a couple extra days. Would recommend. The only downside is it can get a little noisy at night being so close to the Ramblas.

We are surprised by your comment and we are saddened by what happened. Although we understand that you can not rate your stay with us because you have not stayed at our hostel. We understand that your frustration for not returning the amount of your reservation when you have requested it has caused your anger and therefore your score. But you have to understand that your reservation is non-refundable and that the problems you had on your trip that were apart from us and that motivated you to change your accommodation, we unfortunately can not accept it. We are sorry we can not help you. We do not take your comments or points into consideration since you have not stayed to our hostel and therefore you can not give a proper and real opinion. We are accept the opinion and evaluations of really constructive improvements of other clients that help us improve and correct our mistakes. Regards

Thank you very much for your comment and good score! We are happy that your stay at Hostal MiMi has been to your liking. We love being able to offer a more private bathroom with less use of rooms and thus the cleaning is greater. It is very convenient to have it next to the room just two steps away. When availability allows, we make the shared bathroom more private and reduce the number of guests. I hope we can see you another time !! :-)

Hello Dear Vale First of all thanks for your comments and evaluation,we appriciate it,As the hostel is located in one of the famous streets in Barcelona ,there is a street noise especially week-ends.We have ear pads in every room just in case at night some guests leave the door of a balcony open and the street noise enter in the room.

Victor did a very good job of helping us, trying to make our stay comfortable, and trying to make up for the loss of the former kitchen which we had used on previous stays. We were very disappointed with the lack of the kitchen from the last stays. We felt that we should have been notified of the change when we booked. It would be a very good idea if the guests could have access to the workers refrigerator and microwave without having to have the staff handle the items. Understood that construction was partially responsible for the inability to use it ourselves.

I could not stay morena than 5 minutes in this place. The staff is not friendly at all. You don’t feel welcomed. It’s like you are doing a favor to be there. I immediately called Expedia to cancel my reservation, but the hostel declined. I ended up reserving another place. The property looks old, sad and not welcoming. There Ian no vibe. Stay away from this place!!

The location was in the center of the city which was great for when we wanted to shop and walk to the beach. However you hear the night life very loud and clear at night while you’re trying to sleep. I recommend ear plugs. The hostel itself was clean, and safe, but the lobby downstairs had a very unpleasant scent.

Great location
The room was clean and comfortable and in a great location. It is just off Las Ramblas and walking distance to the metro station, great restaurants, shopping and bus area. While Las Ramblas gets crowded and loud, this room had great windows which blocked out any noise from that street. Would stay here again!

Our room was great, clean and in good repair. The staff was great, friendly. The location and cost for the location was fantastic! My only complaint is the lobby of the building smelled bad, but this was on the first floor. Mimi's is on the very top level and there was no smell there. This would be a property management problem and out of Mimi's control.

Heart of Las Rambles and close to everything!
It was close to everything including the port that we would catch our cruise. This is the first time I stayed in a Hostel. Very small (think 8x10ft with sink) room and shared bathrooms but both especially the bathrooms and common areas, were very clean. Hard to find as I had to ask directions many times from various people and therefore we passed it a few times. The 1st floor was worn down (front door sounds like you break it) but the actual Hostel (3rd floor) was nice. Very close to the harbor, Gothic area, St. Joseph La Boqueri (we ate there often), and Beaches. Metro is about 5 minutes away and close. Now that we got use to a Hostel experience, I would stay again because of the location and cleanliness. AC worked well. They have rooms that can handle families. Travel Tip: (1) Take the Airport bus to the very last stop which is Placa De Catalunya. Go across the plaza to Las Ramblas street. Go about 15 minutes towards the water (south). You will pass the police station and it should be the next block on your right, about three addresses from the corner (on the left of the street). If you take the train, you need to take the Orange line from the Airport, transfer to the Blue line at (Europa Fira), and then Transfer to the Green line at (Espanya). Then get off at Liceu. Go up the stairs and head left about a block. If you pass the police station, you went too far. (2) The Metro can take you anywhere you want to go. Purchase the passes for the time you will be there.

Good location, some service shortcomings
Hostal MiMi Las Ramblas is very conveniently located steps from Las Ramblas. The building is old do the steps to the rooms are uneven, but they do have an elevator. We had a room with a private bath and it was simple but clean & comfortable. We were upset when we arrived late for our prepaid room (after notifying the hostel of our flight delay) and could not get in the room we paid for because they resold it. The hotel should have provided an account adjustment, but did not.

A two night stay
The location was great. The kitchen and sitting room are shared by all the guests. Our economy room was tinier than our regular room but quiet. The lobby smelled. The hostal was part of a floor on the 5th floor of a building up a tiny elevator.

The staff are super nice and helpful. The location is so convenient, walkable to the shopping area, restaurants and market. The only thing needs to be improved is the bathroom of room 4, it is too small to use the toilet in the normal way. We had to use the public one. Everything else is great for the price.

Ok, if you want to stay in a 5* hotel, it won’t be your cup of tea, but if you want a reasonable hotel to crash at night after an active day outside, then this is a great base. Most importantly, it’s spotless and the staff is friendly and helpful. We stayed in the new part of the hotel and the bathroom was new modern and clean and the room was nice too - definitely not your usual hostel!!! For a quick weekend away, I I would recommend it. Thank you Boris (who was very friendly & helpful)! :)

A lesson learn .....
I booked it one day to early (got confused with time zone changes) and the hotel was not able to assist me. They said I cannot get a partial refund and that they were too busy to assist me. They told me to look elsewhere. A lesson learned, never pre-pay even if it is cheaper because you cannot get a refund nor would the hotel help. I was able to find hotel accommodations down the block. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Also, the hotel room was cheaper than what I paid for at this hostel. You can never tell what the future lies ahead.

We are very sorry for his mistake but the Hostal can’t be held responsible by a customer’s mistake. We help the client to find another hotel due the fact that our Hostal was totally booked and tried to find a solution. NEVER did the Hostal say that we were too busy to help the customer. The customer is our priority number 1 in our scale of values and always providing the best help/assistance.
