How lucky was I to come across this place when I needed a place to stay in the Catalan capital? I would say: Very 🙂 Just an airport express bus ride, and one block to the left, and I was home! But even though Hostal Goya is centrally located, just off Catalonia Square, it still feels like you’re off the grid, living the local life in Barcelona, as it is situated on a more quiet residential street. It basically looks like an old apartment building has been transformed into a hotel. Consequently the hotel entrance is pretty anonymous, so you might find yourself walking past it the first time. Upon arriving at the small reception area, I do have to admit that my first thought was: Oh, no! Don’t know why really… But if there were any doubts lingering, they were completely gone when I stepped into my room, which was, despite kinda tiny, very nice with a contemporary look. Adjacent to the reception there is a common room with TV, coffee, tea, computers, magazines, info, etc.

Great to feel like you are in a local part of town AND be so central in Barcelona – perfect! #citytripping
I was so happy with my find! Will definitely stay there every chance I get to visit Barcelona.
It’s great to be central in Barcelona and this sounds a good way to skip some of the higher prices. #citytripping
This is definitely a good alternative!
We are currently looking for potential places to stay in Barcelona next month – thanks for the review, we will definitely check it out!
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by 🙂 I highly recommend this place. And it is not expensive either. Helpful staff. Enjoy Barca 🙂
The room looks really nice. Especially the decor is lovely!
I liked it a lot! The en-suite bathroom too. Had a single room. Some might find it a bit small, but it didn’t bother me.
