Hotel overview

Hostal Santa Anna offers a modest and straightforward lodging option nestled in Barcelona’s historic heart. This budget guest house appeals mainly to travelers who prioritize location and affordability over luxury, situated just a stone’s throw from the vibrant La Rambla street and its bustling food stalls. Rooms are simple, with some featuring shared bathroom facilities, making it a fit for those comfortable with communal amenities.

The atmosphere is functional with an emphasis on basics, including free Wi-Fi and air conditioning for comfort. Although the property lacks extensive leisure facilities like a pool or fitness center, its kid-friendly offerings and smoke-free environment provide a welcoming stay for families and non-smokers alike. The lively medieval surroundings invite guests to explore local artisan shops and Catalan eateries.

Guests should expect some noise due to the central setting and thin walls; however, staff receive praise for their friendliness and helpfulness. The absence of an elevator calls for consideration if traveling with heavy luggage. Overall, Hostal Santa Anna suits budget-conscious visitors happy to trade some amenities for a prime city center address.

“We spent 5 nights in this accommodation in February and it was perfect for us. The accommodation is in the very center of Barcelona, ​​we reached everywhere on foot. We booked a double room with a shared bathroom, but they put us in a triple room to make us more comfortable because we were staying a little longer than most guests. We were not uncomfortable using a shared bathroom because the four rooms share two bathrooms and one toilet (and each room has a sink). Everything was very clean, our room was cleaned every day, towels (two large and two small) were changed daily, there was always soap, toilet paper, shampoo in the bathroom... we even got slippers (though for my husband they were were too small, they were great for me). The beds were comfortable enough, the Internet was excellent, the heating worked well. There were always cookies and several interesting books in the hall (we were delighted with one 3D book about Barcelona). The only complaint about the accommodation is the thin walls. If we find ourselves in beautiful Barcelona again, we will stay here again.”

“The hostel has friendly and lovely staff that helped us with any questions. The rooms are clean and fresh, and seems recently renovated. However the rooms are not very sound isolated so expect to hear a lively ambiances of other guests. This did not bother us however but might not be for everyone. Would have been great if there was a microwave in the room but there is one available on request. I would definitely recommend this hostel!”

“Its a budget hostel, so its cheap. What you pay is what you got. Was clean, totally. Service was top. I could leave my big bag. There is no elevator so if you have a big luggage think about that and dont complain”
