HOSTAL GIRONA, Barcelona

Hostal Girona occupies a prime position in central Barcelona, just off Carrer de Casp. Gaudí's Casa Batlló and La Pedrera are within walking distance. The surrounding streets are lined with restaurants, cafés, and supermarkets, and the neighbourhood feels safe and lively. Urquinaona and Tetuán metro stations are about 400 metres away, providing direct connections across the city. The airport is reachable in 30 minutes by taxi, or via Aerobus to Plaça Catalunya followed by a 15-minute walk. Public parking is available nearby at a daily rate of €25, with a reservation required.

Most rooms have an en-suite shower and toilet, but six rooms have a shower and sink inside the room with a shared toilet in the hallway (two toilets for these six rooms). Superior double rooms offer a private bathroom and either a small balcony overlooking the street or a terrace with seating overlooking the courtyard. Triple rooms are available with a private bathroom or a shared toilet option. Rooms facing the street can be noisy, while those on inner courtyards may lack natural light. Noise from the reception, kitchen, and neighbouring rooms is common due to the historic building's thin walls. Some rooms are very compact with limited storage; bathrooms can be small. Daily housekeeping is provided, and all rooms include a hairdryer, safety deposit box, and parquet flooring. Balconies and terraces are subject to availability.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 to 10:30 in a bright common room. The buffet includes bread, croissants, butter, jam, cold meats, cheese, potato omelette, cereal, yoghurt, fresh juices, and coffee. The selection is simple but sufficient for a good start. For guests with early departures, a packed breakfast can be arranged upon request. There is no restaurant on-site, but the property's location offers many dining options within a short walk. The common area also provides free coffee, tea, and hot water 24 hours a day, and a fridge is available for guest use.

Hostal Girona does not have a pool, spa, gym, or other leisure amenities. Guests looking for these facilities will need to explore options elsewhere in the city. The property compensates with a 24-hour common area for relaxation, free hot drinks, and a strong focus on cleanliness and service.

The property offers free Wi-Fi throughout, a lift, and daily housekeeping. Luggage storage is free for guests before check-in and after checkout. An airport shuttle can be arranged for an additional fee (€47 per transfer), and the reception can book taxis. A communal iron is available at reception, and a fridge and free coffee/tea are accessible in the common area. Safety deposit boxes, a tour desk, and concierge service are provided. Cots and extra beds can be arranged for children. Payment is accepted by major credit cards. The property is non-smoking and pets are not allowed.
