Mapamundo, Barcelone, Espagne

Ceci est une revue de confiance Pourquoi?

The location of Mapamundo is in the heart of the Gothic area in Barcelona. As others have written in their reviews, the location can be a bit noisy at night, but earplugs were provided ;-) We didn't need the earplugs though, since the shutters kept most of the noise out.

I would recommend this place to young couples who want to go on a city-trip to Barcelona and want something in-between a youth-hostel and a B&B.

The bathroom was shared but clean and since there are only 4 rooms, this never caused any inconvenience.

There's no breakfast included, so you can choose to make it yourself in the well-equipped kitchen or, like we did, have breakfast/brunch in one of the many places the city centre has to offer!

Despite the graffiti and some drunk people in the area, it always felt safe to walk around in the area, even late at night. Drinking cans of beer on the street at night is quite normal in Barcelona, so you'll see that happening in this area but this is nothing to be afraid of.. Even better, if you're on a tight budget, you just buy some cans from people selling them on the street and you can join in!.

The only inconvenience we encountered was connected to the room we were in. It was located besides the living room and we could hear any sounds from the living room almost as loud in our room. So every morning we could overhear the conversations of other people staying in Mapamundo.

Many people have praised the friendliness of the staff already in their reviews, and I can only confirm this! Clinton is a great host (and has perfect English)

Accommodation was great for travellers, close to transport, close to bars, restuarants and easy walk to Las Ramblas. Clinton was very helpful, providing us with a map and valuable information on what to see and do and how to get there. Rooms were basic but clean and it was great having a communal kitchen and lounge area. Apartment was secure and the shutters blocked out the late night street noise.

Well situated, its a flat turned into a guesthouse. As a result of it bathroom is shared. A big advantage is a fully equipped kitchen. Another big advantage is hospitality of the staff, they will help you with many things. Disadvantages are connected to the location of the guesthouse. Although the flat is quite clean and nice, the house where it is situated is old and ugly (as many others around in the old quarter of Barcelona). The biggest disadvantage is however the noisiness of the surroundings of the flat. No matter what, its a good value for money, but I would recommend it especially to students and young people who will benefit from its advantages the most.

This place is really good because has a good location (center of Bairro Gotico) and the owners are nice and give you nice tips about what to visit and where to eat. They have lockers, where you could leave your bagage in the last day (after check out).

Fantastic location - just 200 yards from Ramblas. Clean and safe - but pretty noisy as in the heart of Old Town. BUt dont expect anything more than a clean bed and basic fascilities. This is a flat converted into 4 double rooms for rent.
People running the pension are very helpful. just outside - great bike rental and 2 nice restaurants/pubs. Great value for money.
The description matches exactly what you find on site.
