Great Breakfast Selection

“I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast at Hostal Mare Nostrum. The selection included cereals, fruits, yogurt, boiled eggs, and sandwich makings. It was great to be able to help myself, and the breakfast room also offered a really nice view. They even accommodated my early train schedule by providing a basic breakfast selection at 6 am on my last day!” view full review

Well-Designed Rooms

“Despite the small size of the room, I found it to be exceptionally well designed. There were practical hangers, cubby holes for storage, and comfortable bedding. The folding shelves made it feel more spacious, and I appreciated the attention to space management. It definitely did not feel cramped, which was a pleasant surprise for a cozy setting!” view full review

Cozy Bedroom Atmosphere

“The bedroom atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I really appreciated that the room was meticulously clean and well maintained. The small balcony offered a charming view of the bustling street below, and I could fully shut the French windows and shutters to block out noise for a good night's sleep. I felt very comfortable and at home during my stay.” view full review

Practical Bathroom Setup

“The bathroom may have been small, but it was equipped with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The shower had great hot water pressure, which I really enjoyed after a long day of exploring.

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.
