I had a great experience at Hostal Mare Nostrum. The location is unbeatable, right off La Rambla, making it super convenient to explore the city. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was good. On the downside, I did find the walls a bit thin, and the lack of a lift made carrying my luggage a challenge. Overall, it was a solid stay, and I would definitely return.

My stay at Hostal Marenostrum was really enjoyable, thanks to its prime location on La Rambla and the friendly staff. The room I stayed in was cozy, but it was a bit cramped, making it tough to find space for my suitcase. However, the lovely balcony offered a peaceful view of the street below which I truly appreciated. The breakfast spread was decent, though it could use a bit more variety. Overall, it was a solid experience that I would suggest, especially for those wanting easy access to the city's attractions.
